Bath Bomb Recipe – How To Make Bath Bombs

Here is a bath bomb recipe with instructions on how to make homemade bath bombs.

Bath Bomb Recipe

Here are all the ingredients that I used for the bath bombs. I could find everything in our grocery store close to us. If you want to add some essential oil, you might have to look up where you can find that. I had some essential oil at home, so I decided to use that.

1 dl citric acid
1 dl bicarbonate
0,5 dl cornstarch
0,5 dl coconut oil

If you want, you can add a few drops of food coloring and/or essential oil.

Instructions on How to Make Bath Bombs

Start by mixing citric acid, bicarbonate, and cornstarch in a bowl. Add the coconut oil and mix it well.

If you decide to use some food coloring, you can divide the mixture up into separate bowls to add different colors into each bowl.

I mixed green and red food coloring into one bowl and only green in the other. I added a few drops of food coloring into each bowl. I wish now that I would have used less food coloring to make the color a little bit more subtile.

How much food coloring you add is, of course, up to you. The brighter color you want, the more food coloring you add to the mix.

When I was in the grocery store picking up the ingredients, I found these ice ball makers that I decided to use to make round bath bombs. The ice cube mold with stars we had at home. What kind of molds you use is up to you!

When you have shaped your bath bombs, you need to let them dry for about one day before you can use them.

The Perfect Homemade Gift

These bath bombs are an easy homemade gift that you can vary in so many different ways. Now, as the holiday season is approaching, I am thinking that you could easily make a Christmas version of them with some Christmas essential oil. I Googled and saw that there are so many different essential oils out there.

Using different colors also makes it really easy to make bath bombs with specific themes.

Really Bubbly Bath Bombs

These bath bombs are really bubbly. Sometimes it feels like everything homemade sometimes lacks the wow factor. But these bath bombs won’t disappoint you! They are really bubbly!

I guess that it is the effect of the citric acid. The citric acid is the ingredient in this recipe that can bring the price up a little bit, but I think that it is definitely worth it!

Bath Bombs with a Surprise

As I have been looking up different kinds of recipes on bath bombs these last few weeks, an advertisement popped up with bath bombs with a surprise inside.

We have three children, and I think that would be such a fun little thing for them. I think it should be quite easy to just place a little plastic toy inside these bigger globe bath bombs. Especially our three-year-old would be so excited about that.

So maybe that would be a fun thing to try if you are planning to give homemade bath bombs as a gift to someone.

DIY Gift Ideas

In the coming months, I am thinking it would be fun to try different kinds of homemade gift ideas. Making gifts for others is a fun way to be creative and also show appreciation to someone.
