Servings: 3 Bath bombs
Equipment
- Medium bowl
- Whisk
- Small jar with lid
Ingredients
- ½ Cup Bicarbonate of Soda
- ¼ Cup Citric Acid
- ¼ Cup Epsom Salts, Try using this shea butter and almond oil epsom salts
- ¼ Cup Cornflour, or Cornstarch
- ¼ Cup Dried Calendula Petals
- 1 TBSP Sweet Almond Oil
- 1 tsp Water
- 1 tsp Calendula Infused Oil,
- 7 drops Roman Chamomile Essential Oil
Instructions
- Add the bicarbonate of soda, citric acid, epsom salts, and cornflour to a medium bowl.
- Stir with the whisk until the dry ingredients are completely combined.
- Add the calendula petals and gently stir through.
- Pour the sweet almond oil, water, and essential oils into a small jar, and secure the lid.
- Shake the jar to combine the liquid ingredients.
- Very slowly, whisk the liquid mixture into the dry mixture. Whisk the entire time, so as not to activate the fizzing properties in the bath bombs.
- Scoop the mixture into each half of the bath bomb mould, then press together, and give a quick twist.
- Allow the bath bombs to set for at least 8 hours.
- Remove from the moulds.
- Store in an airtight container until ready for use. These bath bombs should last for 6 months, if stored in an airtight, moisture-free container.
- Tip - in humid climates, you may need to decrease the amount of liquid you use, so slowly pour some in while whisking, then ¼ of the way through, check the texture to see if you can form it in your hand. You want it to be able to form, but not be too wet.
