These bombs make great affordable gifts for a variety of ages or they are fun treats to use at home.

BATH BOMB RECIPE 1 cup Citric Acid 2 cups Baking Soda 2 Tablespoons melted butter or oil (either Cocoa Butter, Coconut oil or shea butter) 4 Tablespoons Kaolin Clay 1 Tablespoon Fragrance Oil Food Coloring or Mica Color Witch Hazel in a spray bottle Optional: Body Glitter or Sugar Sprinkles

DIY BATH BOMB TIPS:

Sift all of your dry ingredients to removed clumps. Any clumps in your dry ingredients causes warts and lumps in your bath bombs.

Use a wisk to thoroughly mix your dry ingredients until they are well-blended.

If you are dividing your ingredients to make two colored bombs, after your oils are mixed (no color yet!), divide your oils into two small bowls like this.

Add your wet ingredients just a few drops at a time to make sure your wet ingredients don’t react with the dry. If you pour in too much wet ingredients at a time, it will remove the “fizz” from your bombs.

After all the wet is mixed in, start spritzing your Witch Hazel, just 1-2 sprays at a time and keep mixing. Too many spritzes at one time will also cause your mix to have a fizzy reaction.
