Things You Need

• Baking Soda

• Cornstarch

• Citric Acid

• Epsom Salt

• Essential Oils of Choice

• Dry Coloring Pigment of Choice

• A Large Bowl and Utensils for Mixing

• A shaped mold, preferably a circle

Quick and Easy Process

Step 1: Measuring the Dry Ingredients

Start off by measuring the desired ratio and mixing all your dry ingredients in a large bowl. These are baking soda, cornstarch, Epsom salt, and the dry coloring pigment.

Note: The amount of coloring pigment you add depends on the color you wish to achieve.

Step 2: Incorporating the Wet Ingredients

It's best to first measure your essential oils and pour them over the dry ingredients. If you wish to create a more fusion smell, you can always add more than one oil as well.

Without mixing in oils, add in your citric acid. This will cause the ingredients to bubble up; hence, you need to ensure you add it in smaller quantities and gently mix it in.

Step 3: Molding the Bath Bomb

Now that you have properly mixed in all the ingredients, it's time to add the mixture to the mold.

Bath bomb molds are readily available in all craft stores and online, so you can browse through various stores and pick out the shape you like.

Fill both sides of the mold until it's full and press the mold firmly together to form shape. Remove the excess mixture from the sides and let them dry for over 24 hours.

You're now free to unwind in your mini spa right at home!
