Updated
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup baking soda (125 mL)
- 1/4 cup cornstarch (60 mL)
- 3 Tbsp canola oil (45 mL)
- 1/2 tsp essential or fragrance oil (2 mL)
- 4-6 drops food colouring
- water in a spray bottle
- 1/4 cup citric acid (60 mL)
- mould for shaping bombs
Directions
- Mix the baking soda and cornstarch together. Add the canola oil, the drops of food colouring and the essential/fragrance oil.
- Using a spray bottle, mist the mixture lightly one time. Mix well until there are no lumps and the color is well blended. Add the citric acid.
- Heap as much of the mixture as possible into a mould. Press down very firmly packing the mixture well. Do not add more mixture to the mould after firmly packing it as it will not create a cohesive bath bomb. Let the bath bomb air dry for 1-2 days on a baking rack.
Note: Use lavender essential oil as well as 1/2 tsp (2mL) of dried lavender blossoms. Add the lavender blossoms when mixing the baking soda and cornstarch together.
