How to Make Delectable Bath Bombs
Executive summary by Freya D’Amico
I find there is nothing as relaxing as steeping in the tub, and nothing makes a bath better than the accompanied fizz of a bath bomb. Bath bombs are not only wonderful to use, but they’re surprisingly easy to make and personalize yourself. The hardest thing for me to locate was the citric acid used to make the bath bombs fizz.
Dry Ingredients:
1 cp Bicarbonate of Soda (baking soda)
1/2 cp Epsom salts or Coarse Sea Salts
1/2 cp Acitric Acid
1/2 cp Cornstarch (optional, makes the bomb float)
Wet Ingredients:
1/2 tsp of essential oil or fragrance
3/4 tbsp water or water and liquid glycerin
2 1/2 tbsp of any nut oil (optional)
1. Mix cornstarch, baking soda, essential oil and nut oil until it looks fluffy.
2. Add your Epsom salts and acitric acid. Mix again.
3. Mix in water. I use a spray bottle and used about two sprays, just enough where the mixture molds in your hand.
4. Mold the bombs into shape.
5. Cover with a cloth overnight to dry.
6. Use one bomb per bath and enjoy.
Bath Cookies:
Ingredients:
2 cps finely ground sea salt (or Epsom salts)
1/2 cp Baking Soda
1/2 cp cornstarch
2 tbsp light oil
2 eggs
5-6 drops essential oil/vanilla extract
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix all ingredients until doughy.
3. Take about a teaspoon of dough and roll it into a ball or roll the dough out and use cookie cutters.
4. Place cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet.
6. Allow the cookies to cool completely, I say overnight.
7. Use one to two cookies per bath and allow to dissolve.
