Bath bombs are a perfect accessory for bath time fun. They are easy to make because the ingredients can be found in your kitchen and do not require much time to make. Some easy bath bomb recipes are as follows:

To make almond and apricot ones, you will need: 1/2 cup baking soda, 1/8 cup Epsom salts, 1/4 cup Citric Acid, 1/4 cup corn starch, 3/4 teaspoon fragrance oil or essential oil, 1/8 teaspoon Borax, 2 tablespoons Almond oil, 3/8 tablespoon water.

Blend together the baking soda, Epsom salts, Citric Acid, and cornstarch in a bowl. In a separate bowl mix all the remaining wet ingredients together. Add this to the dry ingredients. Make sure you whisk fast when adding wet ingredients to prevent fizzing. Press the mix into molds and allow it to dry overnight. That’s it! They are now ready to be used.

To make the milky ones, you will need: 1/2 teaspoon fragrance or essential oil, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon melted cocoa butter, 1/2 cup baking soda, 1/3 cup Epsom salt, 1/4 cup citric acid, 1/8 cup powdered milk, 1/4 cup corn starch and 5 teaspoons water and witch hazel blend (1 part water to 1 part witch hazel). Mix all of the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Drizzle the melted cocoa butter, olive oil and fragrance or essential oil over the mixture and mix well. Put the water and witch hazel blend into a spray bottle and spray on the mixture until it becomes the right consistency to be put in molds.

To make the candy ones, you will need: 1/8 cup baking soda, 1 tablespoon citric acid, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1/8 teaspoon fragrance oil or essential oil, 1-1/2 tablespoons coconut oil and avocado oil and food coloring (optional). Add all the dry ingredients together in a bowl and mix well. Next, add the coconut oil and avocado oil into a small glass bowl. Add 3 to 4 drops of food coloring of your choice and fragrance. Slowly add this wet mixture to dry ingredients and mix immediately otherwise it will start fizzing. Scoop up small amounts of your mixture and shape them in small balls. Arrange these balls on a sheet of waxed paper and allow them to dry and harden for 24 to 48 hours. When they are ready, place each bath bomb in a candy paper cup.

Bath bombs and bath salts can be made in the spur of the moment to be given as gifts. Follow these fun and easy recipes and delight your friends with a set of homemade rounded bathing balls, or make them for yourself to indulge in an aromatic bath.
