Bath bombs are little balls of fizz that dissolve in hot water and add a little scent, moisture, and effervescence to your bath time. Doesn’t get any better. Plus, they’re so easy to make at home
Here’s what you need:
-Cornstarch 1/2 cup
-Epsom Salt 1/4 cup
-Baking Soda 1 cup
-Citric Acid 1/2 cup
-3/4 tablespoon water
-Essential Oil {optional}
-Olive Oil 2 3/4 tablespoons.
Ahead of time I ground up the Epsom Salt until it was a really fine powder.
Mix together your dry ingredients. If you want to get really fancy and sift them, it will work even better.
Now get out a separate bowl to mix up your wet ingredients. You can’t mix them into the dry mix yet or everything will start bubbling and fizzing. We don’t want that.
Now pour the liquid into the dry ingredients
You have to work fast at this point because it’s about to get bubbly.
Whisk it all together until you get a mix the consistency of wet sand.
Now it’s time to mold your bath bombs.
Scoop it up, pack the mixture in really tight and turn upside down on a cookie sheet or plate to dry. You might have to tap the back side to get it to come out in one piece.
Let them dry overnight before you try to transport them anywhere or they’ll fall apart.
If you’re giving them as gifts put them in a clear cellophane bag tied with a beautiful ribbon and a gift tag.
