Soothing Bath Bomb Recipe
Soothing Bath Bomb Recipe
Why not create your own soothing bath bomb to help you relax after a long day.
It is nice to have something relaxing to look forward to. It may not come until after help with homework, dinner, and laundry, but when you can, jazz up your next bath with this DIY bath bomb recipe.
Ingredients
1 cup baking soda
½ cup citric acid
½ cup of sea or Epsom salt
¾ cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons of oil (olive, coconut, almond)
2 teaspoons of witch hazel
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
30-40 drops of your favourite essential oil
Instructions
Place the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the oil, witch hazel and vanilla extract and stir well.
Add essential oils if using.
Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients a few drops at a time.
Mix well with your hands. I use gloves at this point.
The mixture should hold together when squeezed without crumbling.
You may need to add slightly more witch hazel if it hasn’t achieved this consistency yet.
Quickly push the mixture into moulds or greased muffin tins.
Press in firmly and leave at least 24 hours, or until hardened.
When dry, remove from moulds and store in an airtight container.
Use within two weeks.
I hope you have enjoyed this information. Until next time!
