Making bath bombs

I found it easy to get all the ingredients in the bowl and start mixing because it would be easy to start mixing and getting it a bit less powdered.  


I found it hard to get the bath bomb to feel a bit sticky and to feel like kinetic sand because it would take a long time to get the bath bomb to feel like that.


Next time I will try and get the colour a bit more colourful because when I made my bath bomb it looked a bit bland, I need to add a bit less colours to my bath bomb and make it more colourful.



to make a bath bomb you will need to get (dry) 1 cup baking soda

½ cup of citric acid

1/2 cup of epsom salt

1/2 cup of epsom salt

1 tsp of essential oil

3 tsp of olive oil / coconut oil / Almond oil

2-3 drops of food coloring 


Measure out and whisk together your dry ingredients in a large bowl. Next, in a small cup, mix together the wet ingredients. This is also where you’ll add the essential oils. 


The next step is very important. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. You’ll want to do this very slowly, adding little drops at a time while mixing.


The citric acid is what causes the bath bombs to fizz when it comes into contact with water. Adding the wet ingredients slowly minimizes this effect. Then, firmly press the mixture into the mould. 

Let the bath bombs dry for at least 24 hours.
