What You Need

Bath bombs more or less all follow the same basic recipe. The key to a great bath bomb is customization.

You should start by gathering your base materials. You can get most of them from a local pharmacy, big-box store, or online.

  • 1/2 cup Citric Acid
  • 1 cup Baking Soda
  • 1/2 cup Epsom Salts
  • 1/2 Cup Cornstarch
  • 3/4 – 1 Tbsp water
  • 2 Tbsp essential oils
  • 2 Tbsp body oil of choice
  • Food coloring

You will also need some sort of mold. For beginners, start with something you have on hand, like a muffin tin. If you become obsessed, invest in a bath bomb mold from the local craft store.

Once you’re a pro, you can also include “add-ins” such as glitter, sprinkles, flower petals, etc.

How to Make Bath Bombs

Mix all of the dry ingredients EXCEPT for the citric acid together in a large bowl. Combine all of the liquid ingredients in a separate container and mix extremely well – if possible, put them in a container with a lid and shake them together! Next, pour the wet into the bowl with the dry, put on some gloves, and combine with your hands.

Once the ingredients are all melded together you can add your citric acid to the mixture. This might cause a small chemical reaction, but that’s okay! That reaction will make your bath bombs impressively explosive later!

At this point, you’d also add any mix-ins you like. You can find some good mix-in ideas at DIY Craft Corner.

Tightly pack the mixture into your molds, immediately release them, and leave them to dry out overnight. Wait about 48 hours before you use them in the tub to ensure the most spectacular reaction!

From there, you’re ready to gift or use your bath bombs! We hope you have the best spa day ever!
