The ingredients in bath bombs

I love adding Epsom salts to my baths as it soothes achy muscles, relieves stress while helping to detoxify the body. The bicarbonate of soda helps calm itchy and irritated skin while the almond oil moisturises the skin.

As many people have nut allergies or just don’t like using almond oil, you could replace this with jojoba, avocado, coconut or olive oil.

Though the cornflour is not necessary and can be left out or replaced with an equal amount of baking soda, the citric acid is necessary as this is what makes the salts fizz when added to the bath.
