Here are a few recipes to making great bath bombs.
Fizzy Bath Bombs:
Ingredients:
2 tbs citric acid
2 tbs cornstarch
1/4 cup baking soda
3 tbs coconut oil ( or any oil like almond, avocado or apricot)
1/4 tsp fragrance oil
3-6 drops of food coloring ( optional)
paper candy cups
Add all the dry ingredients ( first 3) into a medium bowl and mix well. Place the coconut oil into a small glass bowl and add the fragrance and food coloring. Slowly add the oil mixture into the dry ingredients and mix well. Place small amounts of mixture into 1" balls. Let the balls rest on a sheet of of waxed paper for about 2- 3 hours, then place each ball into one of the candy cups to dry and harden. This may take up to 24 hours to 48 hours. Make sure you keep the bombs in an air-tight container.
To use, pour a bath and drop 1 - 3 bombs into a bath of warm water. Grab a 'bubbly' drink, relax and enjoy!
