Note: One of the best parts of making your own bath bombs is getting to choose the
essential oils! You can go with floral scents like lavender or rosemary, or a citrus blend
with lemon or grapefruit. Some other common essential oils used for bath bombs are
peppermint, vanilla and chamomile.
1. Combine dry ingredients. Dump all of your dry ingredients (citric acid, corn starch,
Epsom salts and baking soda) into a big bowl and stir together with your whisk.
2. Combine wet ingredients. Place all of your wet ingredients (water, essential oil, almond oil and food coloring) into a cup and stir until well mixed.
3.. Mix together. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir
them. (The mixture should begin to clump together.)
4. Pack mixture into molds. Grab your plastic mold and pack the mixture into the first
half of the mold. Pack it as tightly as you can! Then, do the same with the second half.
5. Press together. Add some extra mixture on top of the second half and squeeze the
molds together to create your sphere. Press firmly! Tip: If the mixture isn’t packing
well, place the ingredients back in the bowl and add a tiny amount of water. Be careful,
though – too much water will ruin your bath bomb!
6. Let dry. Wait a few minutes, and then carefully remove the bath bomb from the mold.
Place them on wax paper on top of a fluffy towel. Let the bath bombs dry for at least
one day before you use them! If your bath bombs are a gift, wrap them in cellophane or
tissue paper. To store them, keep them in a plastic, airtight container.
