Course: Crafts
Servings: 4 Bath Bombs

Ingredients

  • ½ cup baking soda
  • ¼ cup epsom salts
  • ¼ cup citric acid
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 1 ½ tbsp sweet almond oil
  • 1 tsp water
  • ¼ tsp each of red orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple mica powder
  • Bath bomb molds

Instructions

  • Add the baking soda, epsom salts, citric acid, and cornstarch to a large bowl, and use a whisk to stir the ingredients until they are fully combined.
  • Add the sweet almond oil and water to a small jar with a lid and shake well.
  • Very slowly add the liquid mixture to the dry mixture, while whisking the entire time, so you do not activate the fizz. Stir well.
  • Divide the mixture evenly between 6 small bowls.
  • Add one color of mica powder to each bowl, and stir well until the color is solid.
  • Begin layering colors into the bath bomb molds. Red, yellow, then orange in one half; green, blue, then purple in the other half. Make sure to overfill the mold with the third color.
  • Press the two halves together, and lightly twist.
  • Allow bath bombs to set in the molds for 4-6 hours, then you may remove them to finish setting.
  • Store in an airtight container or bag.
