Bath Bombs

DSC_0027


INGREDIENTS:
4 ounces Baking Soda
2 ounces Citric Acid
2 ounces Corn Starch
2 ounces Epsom Salts

2 tsp water
1/2 tsp essential oil (I used lavender!)
1 TBL olive oil

METHOD:
1. Add dry ingredients into a Ziploc Bag and Mix them well.
2. Now measure your wet ingredients and mix them all in a plastic bowl. They won't mix perfectly, don't worry about that. You should have a little less than 2 TBL total of wet ingredients. You might not need the entire amount.
3. Start adding the wet ingredients to the dry mix one teaspoon at a time, don't add more than that amount at once because the mix will start reacting. Continue to mix at the same time you're adding the liquid- you'll have to release the air that builds in the ziploc bag as you go.
4. When you have added two teaspoons, test the mix by pinching a little in your hand. If it stays together and feels damp, your mix is ready. It should feel like damp sand.
5. Get ready to mold- you can fill an easter egg, cookie cutters, or any mold you may have. Wait until it's completely dry until you remove the mold. (We just shaped these with our hands and put them in cupcake papers).

Enjoy in your bath!
