How do you make homemade bath bombs?

Makes 5 medium bath bombs

Step 1.

First, add the baking soda, Epsom salts, cornstarch, citric acid, mica, and eucalyptus leaves to a large bowl and stir with a whisk until completely combined.

Step 2.

Next, add the sweet almond oil, water, and eucalyptus oil to a small jar, secure the lid, and shake well.

Step 3.

Slowly pour the liquid into the dry mixture, whisking the entire time, so as not to activate the fizz.

Step 4.

Overfill two halves of the bath bomb molds, push together, and gently twist.

Step 5.

Finally, allow bath bombs to set for 8 hours or more, then remove them from the mold. You may need to gently tap the bottoms for them to release easier.

Voila! Beautiful homemade bath bombs that look like they come from an expensive retail shop.

Just look at that gorgeous color and perfect shape. Using a mold really makes this craft project so simple!

The great thing about this bath bomb recipe is you can change out the essential oils to whatever bath bomb fragrance you like. There are so many good ones to choose from. Here are a few!

You can also change the color by adding different shades of mica powders. If you want to make a two-toned bath bomb, mix the two colors separately before layering them in the mold.

Look at this beautiful soft pink bath bomb with tiny rose petals. If you decide to add dried flowers like lavender or roses, be sure they are free from pesticides.

Oh, and if you don’t want to clean them out of the tub when you’re finished; don’t add them. LOL!
