Bath Bombs Recipe
Dry Ingredients:
1 cup baking soda
1/2 cup citric acid
1/2 cup corn starch
1/3 cup epsom salts
Wet Ingredients:
2 1/2 tablespoon light oil of your choice (sweet almond oil,
grapeseed, etc.)
3/4 tablespoon water
1/4 teaspoon borax
5 to 10 drops yellow liquid food coloring
spray bottle filled with witch hazle or water
Measure out the first 3 of the dry ingredients, combine in
a sifter, and sift together until smooth. If you are using
sea salt or epsom salt, add it to the dry mixture after sifting.
Epsom salts seem to shorten the drying time, tend to give
your bath bombs a bit of shine, and makes the fizzing action
more vigorous. Set the dry ingredient mixture aside while
you prepare the wet ingredient. Measure and combine all the
wet ingredients, including the borax, in a small clean jar;
cover tightly and shake vigorously. Slowly drizzle the wet
ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring constantly
to prevent the fizzing starting. Make sure you mix in all
of the wet ingredients. The mixture should be damp enough
to hold together when pressed in your hand. If needed, mist
with witch hazel or water. Make sure the bath bomb mixture
is mixed throughly. Work fast to press the mixture into your
molds or it will dry out too much before you mold it. If you're
using a 2-part sphere, fill each side and then press together.
Let bombs dry in the mold for a few hours. Larger spheres
may need more drying time. Remove from mold and let dry for
1 week before use. Cover with tissue paper and store in an
airtight container.
