Morgan’s Holiday Treat
Scented Explosions aka
Bath Bombs
Ingredients:
3 tbsp. Epsom Salt
1/2 cup baking soda
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup citric acid
1 tbsp coconut oil
spray bottle with witch hazel or water
liquid food coloring
essential oils / fragrance
Bath Bomb Molds
Let’s Try It…
1.Color the salts
.
Divide 3 tablespoons of salt between 2 bowls. Add one drop of food coloring to one bowl and add a drop of another color to the other. Mix and then let the salts sit while they soak up the dye.
.
2.Combine your dry ingredients
Put the baking soda, citric acid and cornstarch in a large bowl. Whisk together with a spoon. Add your essential oils or fragrance . We used about 12 drops of a mixture we call “Morgan’s Holiday Treat”. Be creative, because you are mixing them in the small amount of salts you can try different combinations and not break the bank by spoiling a whole batch.
.
3. Add the coconut oil
Add 1 heaping tablespoon of coconut oil to your dry mixture. Mix all the ingredients together and make sure to smooth out all the lumps.
.
4. Spritz with water
Take a handful of the mixture and squeeze it together with your fingers in the palm of your hand. The powder should clump together. If it doesn’t spritz it a bit more and stir well between each spritz making sure the mixture doesn’t start to react in the bowl. Check regularly to see if it begins to clump together.
.
5. Add the Salts
Add your colored scented salts to the mixture.
.
6. Make the bomb
Fill your mold one spoonful at a time. Press the mixture down firmly after each scoop. Let your molded explosions sit for a few hours and then remove the mold. Package and Share It!
