Ingredients and Tools

Before you start, gather the necessary ingredients and tools. You will need:

  • 2 cups baking soda
  • 1 cup citric acid
  • 1 tsp rose clay
  • 1 tbsp milk powder
  • 1 oz cocoa butter
  • 5 drops each of geranium, clary sage, and lavender essential oils
  • Optional: dried rose petals
  • Witch hazel
  • Bath bomb molds (heart-shaped or any other shape you prefer)
  • A mixing bowl
  • A whisk or spoon
  • A double boiler or microwave-safe bowl
  • A spray bottle
  • Labels for packaging

Preparation

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of baking soda, 1 cup of citric acid, 1 tsp of rose clay, and 1 tbsp of milk powder. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.

  2. Melt Cocoa Butter: Place 1 oz of cocoa butter in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl. Melt the cocoa butter slowly, stirring occasionally. Once melted, let it cool slightly to room temperature.

  3. Add Essential Oils: To the melted cocoa butter, add 5 drops each of geranium, clary sage, and lavender essential oils. Stir gently to mix.

  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly pour the melted cocoa butter mixture over the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly using a whisk or spoon until the mixture is well combined. If using dried rose petals, grind them into a fine powder and sprinkle them into the mixture before combining.

Assembly

  1. Prepare Witch Hazel: Fill a spray bottle with witch hazel. This will be used to bind the ingredients together.

  2. Pack the Mixture: Spoon the mixture into your bath bomb molds. Press the mixture firmly into the mold, ensuring it is tightly packed. If using a two-part mold, fill one half and press the other half over it.

  3. Bind with Witch Hazel: Spritz the witch hazel over the mixture inside the mold. The amount needed will vary depending on humidity levels. Start with 6-10 spritzes and adjust as necessary. The mixture should hold together when pressed but not be overly wet.

  4. Let Dry: Allow the bath bombs to dry for at least 24 hours on a towel. This ensures they are completely set and ready for use.

Packaging and Storage

Once your bath bombs are dry, carefully remove them from the molds. If they stick, gently tap the mold to loosen them. Place the bath bombs in sealed bags or containers to keep them fresh. Add labels for easy identification and gifting.
