How to Make Bath Bombs

Why spend money at all those "bath" speciality shops - make your OWN bath bombs and give them as gifts.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• 2 T. citric acid
• 2 T. cornstarch
• 1/4 c. baking soda
• 1/4 t. fragrance oil
• 3-6 drops of liquid colorant (if desired)
• 3 T. coconut oil (or any other emolient oil like almond oil, avocado oil or apricot kernel oil)

1. Place all of the dry ingredients (first 3) into a bowl and mix well. Add fragrance and colorant.
2. In a small glass bowl combine oil then add fragrance and colorant. Slowly add oil mixture to dry ingredients and blend well.
3. Take truffle sized scoops of the mixture and shape into balls.
4. Balls should be about 1" in diameter. Let balls rest on a sheet of waxed paper for 2-3 hours. Let the bombs dry and harden for 24-48 hours.
5. Pack each bomb into its own candy cup. Store bombs in a closed container. To use - drop 1-3 into warm bath water.

Tips & Warnings

• You can also put the mixture into soap/candy molds - just DO NOT reuse those molds for candy or soap!)
• Melon scoops also work well
