My first bath bombs turned out pretty well, everything smells here amazing (again)...I had to be bit patient because as I was doing well in the beginning it started to get worse somewhere in the middle. But first things first, here is the recipe:
bowl
measuring spoons
scale
Process:
- Melt the shea butter and let cool
- In a bowl, mix baking soda, citric acid and cornstarch
- Add shea butter and castor oil, mix with hands and split in two parts (if you want two different kinds of the bath bombs)
- Add 30 drops of Palmarosa essential oil and 5 drops of Ylang Ylang into the first part and 30 drops of Lavandin and pinch (? really small amount) of blue mica to the other one
- After mixing, just slowly spray the mixture with distilled water, rose water or 99% alcohol. I´ve used rose water and bit of alcohol. Don´t pour the water, just spray!
- If it has consistency of wet sand- it holds its shape when squeezed, start filling the mould with small amounts of the mixture. Once one half of the mold is full, press the bath bomb mixture down to compress it and continue layering also the other half. Add a bit extra bath bomb mixture into each half, but don’t press it down. Slightly overfilling with loose bath bomb mixture helps the two sides to stick together better
- After pressing the mould together, wait few seconds, tap softly with tea spoon on each half and open the mould
- Let the bombs sit at least fot 24 hours before using
If you don´t have the bath bomb mould, you can use any silicone mould, e.g. ice cube mould.
From this amount of ingredients I´ve made 12 bombs with 4cm diameter, but exactly 12 😀 so add already a bit more of baking soda. They are nice hard already after few hours and don´t crumble.
Hope you enjoy the post and I think I´m going to sweep the floor 😉
