How to Make DIY Bath Bombs

Do you need something to help you relax? Here is a great recipe from Swanson Health Products to make your own bath bombs. Enjoy!!!

Bath Bomb Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup baking soda
• 1/4 cup corn starch
• 1/4 cup citric acid
• 3-4 tsp. coconut oil
• 1-2 tsp. water
• 1 tsp. essential oil
• Few drops food coloring (optional)

Bath Bomb Tools:

• Bath bomb molds
• Bowl
• Whisk

Bath Bomb Steps:

1. Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl. Stir together with a whisk.
2. Add coconut oil, essential oil and food coloring (if using). Stir until ingredients are thoroughly combined.
3. When adding water, do it slowly and add only as much as needed because the mixture will fizz upon exposure to water. Stir vigorously to reduce fizzing while adding water.
4. When the mixture is wet enough to stick together in clumps, press mixture firmly into molds until molds are filled. If using a mold with two pieces, such as a round mold, squish pieces together and remove any excess from the sides.
5. Let the mixture sit in the molds for five minutes, then carefully remove bath bombs from the molds.
6. Lay bath bombs on parchment paper or a towel and let them dry for 24 hours.

Recipe makes enough for two round 2.5 inch diameter bath bombs.

Simple, right? And so much fun!
