Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ cup baking soda
  • ¼ cup citric acid
  • ¼ cup epsom salt
  • ½ cup cornstarch
  • 1 tbs jojoba oil
  • 4 teaspoons witch hazel
  • ½ teaspoon purple mica powder or color of choice
  • 4 drops lavender essential oil
  • 4 drops lemon essential oil
  • Small spray bottle with water
  • Silicone molds

Instructions

  • In a large bowl combine all dry ingredients and mix well. Make sure there are no clumps.
  • In a small glass bowl, combine the jojoba d oil, essential oils and witch hazel. Whisk.
  • Pour the liquid mixture into the large bowl, it will fizz once the liquid touches it.
  • Begin mixing using a fork (or your hands) until everything looks combined and somewhat moist.
  • Prep your silicone molds and use a spoon to fill the molds halfway. Using a silicone spatula, press the mixture into the molds firmly. Spray each mold with a small bit of water (one spray) and press down again to make sure they're firm.
  • Using too much water will cause the bombs to lose their fizz. If you don't press down firmly, the bombs will not hold together.
  • Divide the rest of the mixture into the molds and again press down firmly. Spray the top with water and press down again.
  • Let sit on the counter for twenty four hours to set before removing from molds.

Notes

Note: from the mica powder and the  oil these diy bath bombs will leave your bath a bit slippery- so take caution when getting out!
Tip: use anywhere from ⅛-1/2 teaspoon of mica powder keeping in mind that the more you use the more saturated the water will be with color. Mica powder does leave a ring in the tub.
Makes 15-18 depending on the mold.
