DIY Bath Bomb Guide for a Relaxing Home Spa Experience

Transform your bathroom into a serene sanctuary with the comforting aroma and gentle fizz of homemade bath bombs. Creating your own bath bombs is not only a rewarding project but also a perfect way to customise your bath experience to suit your personal preferences.

In this guide, we'll take you step-by-step through the process of crafting your own delightful bath bombs and suggest some luxurious additions from Lucky Leaf Bath Bombs to enhance your at-home spa experience.

Ingredients and Materials You'll Need

To get started with your DIY bath bombs, you'll need the following ingredients:

  • 1 cup of baking soda
  • 1/2 cup of citric acid
  • 1/2 cup of Epsom salt
  • 1/2 cup of cornflour
  • 2 tablespoons of essential oil (such as lavender or eucalyptus)
  • A few drops of food colouring (optional)
  • A mould, such as a silicon cupcake tray or a specific bath bomb mould

Steps to Create Your DIY Bath Bomb

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the baking soda, citric acid, Epsom salt, and cornflour. Whisk them together until the mixture is smooth and free of any clumps.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate small bowl, mix together your chosen essential oil and food colouring. Essential oils not only provide a soothing aroma but can also offer therapeutic benefits, creating a more calming bath experience.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, a small amount at a time, stirring continuously. The mixture should hold together when squeezed without crumbling apart. Be cautious not to add the liquid too quickly to avoid premature fizzing.
  4. Mould the Mixture: Pack the mixture into your chosen mould tightly. Allow it to dry for at least 24 hours, then carefully remove it from the mould.
