Natural Bath Bombs DIY


{image}

Bath Bombs also known as Bath Fizzies have been on my list to make for the store but for whatever reason it keeps getting pushed aside so for now here is a fun recipe for you to experiment with on your own.  It makes a great project to do with the kids and with Christmas right around the corner these make great gifts too! 


1 cup Baking Soda
1/2 cup Citric Acid
1/2 cup Epsom Salt
2 Tablespoons Coconut Oil
5 teaspoons Green Tea, Rose Hydrosol or liquid of choice
essential oils (optional)


Combine all dry ingredients. Now work the coconut oil into the dry ingredients.
Slowly stir the green tea or liquid of choice into the dry ingredients and coconut oil.
If using essential oils add now (approximately 20 drops).

Now mold into desired shapes. Melon ballers can make a great mold, candy or soap molds, ice cube trays or mini baking molds. 
If you want to take it a step further and use dried flowers then press them onto the outside of  bath bombs while molding.

Allow to dry for a minimum of 4 hours, or overnight for best results. Remove from mold and store in an airtight container. 

Some suggested combos:
rose hydrosol, geranium essential oil & rose petals
aloe vera juice, eucalyptus essential oil & peppermint leaves
green tea, bergamot essential oil & green tea leaves
black tea, sweet orange essential oil & cinnamon powder
chamomile tea, lavender essential oil & calendula petals

So many possibilities! Get creative and have fun!
