How to Make Bath Bombs

Bath bombs are most commonly used in bath water because they give off a soothing aroma, and are perfect to use during a stress relieving bath. Instead of spending a great deal of money on bath bombs at different stores, you can create your very own inexpensively in the comfort of your home.

You Will Need

• 1 cup baking soda


• 1/2 cup citric acid


• 1/2 cup corn starch


• 1/2 cup mineral salt


• 1 tablespoon water


• 2 teaspoons of fragrance (you can choose the fragrance)


• 3 drops of any food coloring of your choice

1. Combine the baking soda, citric acid, corn starch, and mineral salt together in a large mixing bowl. Use a wooden spoon to mix these ingredients together.


2. Gently pour in the water, fragrance and food coloring. Do not pour these ingredients into the mixing bowl too fast or the mixture will begin to foam.


3. Carefully mix the combination with a whisk.


4. Begin shaping the bath bombs with your hand once the combination is mixed well. You can shape the bath bombs by grabbing a bit of your mixture and using both hands to roll it up into a ball.


5. Sit the bath bombs on a plate and give them some time to dry.


6. Allow the bath bombs to dry for a few hours before you decide to use one. When you are ready to use a bath bomb,  place it in your warm bath water and watch it do its magic.


7. Place any of the unused bath bombs in a sealed container for future use.
