Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 1/2 cup baking soda
• 3/4 cup citric acid
• Mixing bowl
• 2/3 cup powdered milk
• 3/4 cup cornstarch
• 3 tsp. cocoa butter
• Double boiler or microwave
• 2 tbsp. sweet almond oil or jojoba oil
• 2 to 3 drops of food coloring (optional)
• 2 tsp. essential oils of your choice
• 6 tsp. witch hazel
• 5 tsp. water
• Spray bottle
• Bath bomb molds

1. Place the baking soda, and citric acid in a mixing bowl and blend them thoroughly. Don't rush through this step. If the baking soda and citric acid aren't completely blended, the fizzy milk bath bomb will be lumpy.

2. Stir in the powdered milk and cornstarch and mix well.

3. Melt the cocoa butter over a double boiler, or melt it very carefully in the microwave.

4. Stir the cocoa butter and sweet almond or jojoba oil into the mixture. Use your hands to mix.

5. Mix in the food coloring, if desired. Add the essential oils and blend with your hands.

6. Put the witch hazel and water in a spray bottle and shake them to mix. Mist the bath bomb mixture with the witch hazel and water, mixing with the other hand as you spray.

7. Work quickly, and as soon as the mixture begins to stick together, pack it tightly into the molds. Leave the mixture in the mold for a few minutes, then remove and allow the fizzy milk bath bombs to air dry.
