  1. Step 1

    Step 1

    To make a basic Bath Bomb you’ll need the following dry ingredients:

    1 cup baking soda
    1/2 cup fine citric acid
    1/2 cup corn starch
    1/2 cup fine Epsom salt (optional)

    Use a small food processor to grind coarse ingredients.

  2. Step 2

    Step 2

    In a spray bottle mix:

    2 1/2 Tablespoons of Sweet Almond Oil
    3/4 Tablespoon water and liquid glycerin
    1/2 teaspoon of Essential Oil
    1/4 teaspoon of Borax


  3. Step 3

    Step 3

    Thoroughly combine dry ingredients into a large bowl.

    Stir the remaining ingredients in small measuring cup, if desired add colorant to the mix. Pour wet ingredients into spray bottle and shake to mix.

  4. Step 4

    Step 4

    This is the crucial stage in the creation of a bath bomb: mist dry ingredients to moisten, applying too much moisture will start the fizzy reaction.


  5. Step 5

    Step 5

    Moisten mixture enough to look and feel like wet sand, so when worked with it holds a shape.

  6. Step 6

    Step 6

    Press mix into one half of the mold, repeat with other half, place more of the mix between the halves and press together. Wait a few minutes and without twisting gently remove one half of the mold. Turn the mold over, allow bomb to pop out of the mold.

  7. Step 7

    Step 7

    Place on a kitchen towel and allow to dry overnight and possibly several days. If the air is humid, a fan helps to dry bomb. Once dry, wrap bomb in tissue paper. Crush dud bombs that fall apart while drying and give as fizzy bath salts.

  8. Step 8

    Step 8

    The Bath Bomb is great gift and while it takes time to make, the result is a blast. Citric acid is the ingredient that causes the fizzing. Use finely ground citric acid to make a successful bomb.
