If you've ever wanted to indulge in the luxurious experience of a bath bomb without breaking the bank, you're in the right place! Making bath bombs at home is not only fun and therapeutic but also a wonderful way to customise scents and ingredients that suit your preferences. In this step-by-step guide, we'll walk you through the basic process of crafting your own bath bombs.
What You'll Need
Before we begin, let's gather all the necessary ingredients and tools:
- Dry Ingredients:
- Baking Soda (1 cup)
- Citric Acid (1/2 cup)
- Cornstarch (1/2 cup)
- Epsom Salt (1/2 cup)
- Wet Ingredients:
- Water (2-3 teaspoons)
- Essential Oils (10-15 drops)
- Colouring (optional, a few drops)
- Tools:
- Mixing Bowl
- Whisk
- Bath Bomb Mould
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Mix the Dry Ingredients:In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the baking soda, citric acid, cornstarch, and Epsom salt until well combined. Make sure there are no clumps for an even texture.
- Prepare the Wet Ingredients:In a small bowl, mix the water with a few drops of your favourite essential oils. For a refreshing scent, try using peppermint or tea tree essential oil—a combination inspired by our Peppermint & Tea Tree Bath Bomb.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, a few drops at a time. Mix gently to avoid any fizzing. The mixture should have a damp sand consistency that holds together when squeezed.
- Add Colour and Mould:If you're using colouring, add a few drops at this stage and mix until you achieve the desired shade. Pack the mixture tightly into your bath bomb moulds.
- Dry and Set:Let the bath bombs dry and harden for at least 24 hours. Once they're firm, carefully remove them from the moulds.
