on

Bath bomb is the craze that took the internet by storm. Kids and teens rave about the fizzy bombs detonating into fun. While women share their bath bomb experiences no less than a holiday at the beach. What makes everyone fall in love with bath bombs is the way they infuse in the warm water; slowly melting away, creating a vibrant trail of colors that smoothly diffuse in the water, making the whole bath tub look like a painting. 


These bombs come in creative bath bomb packaging and can be seen on stores like Lush USA, Bath and Body Works, The Body Shop, etc. You’ll be surprised to see the variety available at stores. However, as you move for better options the prices also flare up. If you wish to have similar experience but mind spending a lot of dollars then we bring to you the recipe for the perfect bath bomb that you can cook in no time.

Ingredients
  • ·         Baking soda
  • ·         Citric acid – reacts with the baking soda and produces the fizz
  • ·         Epsom salt – soothes muscles and nourishes skin
  • ·         Soup coloring/food coloring
  • ·         Plastic mould
  • ·         Castor oil – known for its therapeutic properties
  • ·         Essential oil – releases refreshing scents
  • ·         Corn starch – holds everything together


Here’s what you’re going to do:
1.      First things first, mix all the dry ingredients. This includes half cup baking soda, quarter cup Epsom salt, quarter cup corn starch, quarter cup citric acid and whisk well.
2.      In another container add three teaspoons of castor oil, one tablespoon of essential oil, two to three drops of soap/food coloring and mix well with a tablespoon of water.
3.      Slowly, add the liquid mixture in the dry ingredients so that it doesn’t activate the solution.
4.      Once you achieve even consistency, fill the plastic moulds with the mixture. For a fun surprise, add glitter in the middle or tiny toys for your kids.
            
       Let the moulds dry overnight or pop in fridge for half hour.
