Bath bomb recipes!!!!

We recently made some luscious bath bombs....the best part of the bath bomb is you can create your own scents and colors.....one of the key ingredients is citric acid...it's become more readily available with the surge of Bath bomb making...but in some parts of the country it's not very easy to find.  Here's a recipe we found and tried that allows you to make bath bombs without the citric acid...using cream of tarter instead.  (That's easy to find in the baking aisle at your favorite grocery store).  Here's the recipe:

• 2 bowls
• Measuring spoons and cups
• 1 cup baking soda
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1/2 cup epsom salts
• 4 tablespoons cream of tartar
• 2-1/2 tablespoons oil (we used coconut but you can use olive or vegetable oil too)
• 2 teaspoons essential oil (lavender, jasmine, whatever you like!)
• Food coloring
• 3/4 tablespoon water
• Plastic mold 

In a large bowl, add all dry ingredients (baking soda, cornstarch, epsom salts and cream of tartar) and whisk together.

n a separate bowl, mix all wet ingredients, (oil, essential oil, food coloring (2-6 drops) and water.

Now slowly pour your liquid ingredient mix into the dry mixture, whisking them together slowly. The texture should be crumbly.

Scoop a generous amount into your mold, packing it down. If you're using a plastic, fillable ornament, fill one side, then the other, then squeeze the halves together, wiping away excess mixture at the seam. If you want to add a little trinket or note inside the bath bomb, press it into one side of your ball.

To release a bath bomb from the round mold, tap the outside mold shell with a spoon to loosen it. Then turn it over, and repeat the process with the other half.


Here's our recipe when you can find Citric Acid

• 1 cup baking soda
• 1/2 cup citric acid
• 1/2 cup Epsom salts
• 1/2 cup corn starch
• 1 tsp. water
• 2 tsp. essential oil
• 3 tsp. oil (olive oil, or coconut oil
• food coloring (any color you want)
• bowl
• whisk
• bath bomb mold

 Place the dry ingredients in a bowl and then mix them all evenly with the whisk.

In a separate container, mix the liquid ingredients together. Note that in this step, the essential oils, fragrances and colors are added

Slowly add the liquid mixture to the dry mix, one small spoon at a time.

When well mixed, you simply pack this mixture into a bath bomb mold and pack tightly, then let it dry. Work quickly so as not to let the bath bomb

mixture dry out.
