There’s something truly magical about the fizz, fragrance, and botanical benefits of these little bundles of joy. Let’s roll up our sleeves and get crafty with nature’s goodness!

Ingredients You’ll Need:

To get started on this aromatic adventure, gather the following ingredients:

• Baking Soda : 1 cup

• Citric Acid : 1/2 cup

• Cornstarch : 1/2 cup

• Epsom Salt : 1/2 cup

• Coconut Oil : 2.5 tablespoons

• Botanicals (think lavender buds, rose petals, or dried chamomile)

• Essential Oils (lavender, eucalyptus, peppermint – choose your favorite!)

• Water : 3/4 tablespoon

Let’s Get Crafting!

• Combine Dry Ingredients : In a mixing bowl, whisk together the baking soda, citric acid, cornstarch, and Epsom salt until well blended.

• Add Moisture : Slowly incorporate the coconut oil into the dry mixture. The consistency should be sand-like, holding its shape when squeezed.

• Botanical Beauties : This is where you can get creative! Gently mix in your chosen botanicals for a burst of color and natural goodness.

• Essential Euphoria : Time to bring out the scents! Add a few drops of your preferred essential oil to the mix. Whether you fancy floral, earthy, or citrusy tones, the choice is yours.

• Spritz and Mold : Spritz the mixture with water – a little goes a long way – until it holds together when squeezed. Press the mixture into molds of your choice. Silicone molds work great for achieving different shapes.

• Dry and Set : Let your bath bombs dry for at least 24 hours in a cool, dry place. Patience is key here – good things come to those who wait!

• Time to Unwind : Drop your custom creation into a warm bath, sit back, and let the effervescence and aroma envelop you in a cloud of relaxation.
