Things You'll Need:
- 3 tsp. water
- 4 tsp. witch hazel
- Small plastic spray bottle
- 2 tbsp. calendula blossoms
- Small bowl or cup
- 2 Tbsp. cold pressed extra virgin olive oil
- Strainer
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 cup citric acid
- 1 cup baking soda
- 1/3 cup dry milk
- 1/3 cup epsom salts
- 3 tsp. cocoa butter
- 5 drops jasmine essential oil
- Bath bomb molds
-
Step 1
Mix the water and witch hazel in a small spray bottle. Shake the bottle and set it aside.
-
Step 2
Place the calendula blossoms in a small bowl or cup and pour the olive oil over the top. Allow the mixture to infuse for 2 to 3 hours. Strain the infusion, discard the blossoms and set the olive oil aside.
-
Step 3
Combine the cornstarch, citric acid, baking soda, dry milk and epsom salts in a mixing bowl, and stir well.
-
Step 4
Put the cocoa butter in a glass measuring cup and put it in the microwave for a few seconds, just until it's soft. Mix the softened cocoa butter with the dry ingredients, and add the infused olive oil and jasmine essential oil.
-
Step 5
Spritz the mixture with the water and witch hazel spray, using enough to make a thick consistency. Work very quickly, mixing with your hands. The therapy bath bomb will soon start to fizz once the water and witch hazel are added.
-
Step 6
Press the mixture very tightly into bath bomb molds and let them dry for a few minutes before removing them from the molds.
-
Step 7
Use one therapeutic bath bomb in a tub of warm water. Soak and relax.
