Lavender is a great oil to use when learning how to make your own bath bombs. I use lavender for many things and love how it relaxes the body and helps my daughter to sleep.
making your own bath bombs is great as you get to control the ingredients and know exactly what you’re putting into your baths and ultimately onto your skin.
How To Make Your Own Bath Bombs
The Ingredients:
- 2 oz Epsom salt
- 4 oz baking soda
- 2 oz corn starch
- 2 oz citric acid
- 1 tbsp grapeseed oil
- ½ tbsp water
- 1 drop violet soap dye
- 20 drops Lavender essential oil
The Supplies:
- Large bowl
- Whisk
- Small jar with lid
- 4-6 heart shaped molds
- Measuring cups
- Measuring spoons
How To Make Homemade Bath Bombs
Mix the dry ingredients first (Epsom salt, baking soda, cornstarch and citric acid), using the whisk. Mix well to ensure there are no clumps.
Pour the wet ingredients, (grapeseed oil, water and food colouring (and if you’re using lavender essential oil) into a jar, secure the lid and shake well.
Very slowly add the liquid mixture to the dry mixture, about a few drops at time, while whisking. If you’re not pouring slowly enough, the mixture will start to fizz and you don’t want that to happen.
Once all of the liquid has been poured into the dry mixture, mix very well until the colour is consistent.
Immediately fill the molds with the mixture, firmly stuffing each side full.
Secure both parts of the mold together and let set. I always give it about a day, just to be on the safe side.
Carefully release bath bombs from molds and put into an airtight container, or individual cello bags.
