DIY Bath Bomb

Today I am sharing a great last minute gift idea as well as a staple bath and body product! Nothing says relaxation like a warm bath filled with heavenly scents and smoothing oils from a fizzing bath bomb… but we all know the one time use item isn’t always something we can splurge on. Well today I have you covered on making these DIY Bath Bomb at home for pennies on the dollar!!!

What you will need:

I get all of my natural ingredients from Nature with Love. They have everything you can imagine and at great prices, great customer service and best of all great quality;

2 cups Baking Soda
1 cup Citric Acid
1 cup Corn Starch
1 cup Epson Salt
5 teaspoons of Coconut Oil
4 teaspoon E.O or Fragrance Oil I used Basil Nectarine
1.5 teaspoon water
Spray bottle with water
Large Bowl
Snap ornaments bought at Hobby Lobby
Cupcake pan
Color Additive (optional)
Clean Kitchen Towel
Gloves

Directions:

Pour all dry ingredients into a large bowl, and mix well
Slowly adding wet ingredients and mix well. (You will see a little reaction this is normal).
- If you are adding color to your mix, you can start off with about 20 drops and continue to add until you get the desired color you want.
Continue to mix and spray water into the mixture until you get the consistency of damp sand.
Over fill each half of your snap ornaments push each side together removing excess mixture, open and remove bath bomb.
Store in cupcake pan with kitchen towel over it for 24 hours. This will help remove any excess moisture from the bath bombs.
Throw in the bath and enjoy!

Bath bombs should be stored in a cool dry space and are good for 6 months.

Please note, when adding fragrances to any products you use for bath & body, make sure they are suitable to be used on skin as well. What type of scent do you plan to add to your mix? Vanilla is a scent that both women and men typically enjoy, so get creative and have fun.
