Bath Bombs: Recipes and instructions

Basic Bath Bomb Recipe

Gather your ingredients:

• 1 part citric acid
• 2 parts baking soda
• Witch hazel
• Coloring of your choice
• Fragrance oil of your choice
• Dome Shaped Mold

gather ingredients

step one
blend ingredients

BLEND BLEND BLEND BLEND the citric acid and baking soda – this step is super important – if you don’t blend well, you end up with a grainy bomb. We actually use a mixer on our larger batches.
step two
add color

Once you’ve blended really well, add your colorant. Dry pigments or a specialty bath fizzy colorant like La Bombes work best – don’t add too much though – the color shows up once you add the witch hazel.

step three
add fragrance

Add fragrance oils to your personal nose preference.

step four packing the mold

Now, this is the difficult part. Spritz (with a squirt bottle) the witch hazel onto your batch while stirring with the other hand. When your batch sticks together when squished, you need to start putting it in molds – time is of the essence. If you wait too long, the mixture will get hard. If you spritz too much, the mixture will be too wet and “grow” (start the fizzing reaction) on you.

step five finished bath bombs

Put the bombs in molds – wait a few minutes and tap them out. Let them air dry for 3 or 4 hours and voila! Wonderful, hard bath bombs. The harder you pack the bath bombs, the more dense, heavy, and durable bomb you will get.

Back to top
Water Softening Fizzy

1 cup Baking soda
1/2 cup Citric acid
1/2 cup corn starch
2-1/2 tablespoons oil ( I use a combo of grapeseed and almond, but you can use any liquid oils)
3/4 tablespoon Water
2 teaspoons essential or fragrance oils
1/2 teaspoon Borax
Spray bottle filled with Witch hazel

Mix the baking soda, citric acid and corn starch until well blended.

In a separate bowl combine cooking oil, water, essential oil, and borax. Mix well. Drizzle wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, pouring with one hand and squishing it together with the other.

Pack into candy or soap molds. I use a circular 2 oz. soap mold with a flower pattern on the top (it's tooooo hard to unmold anything with squared corners). Pack it in really hard, then immediately flip it over and tap it out onto a lined cookie sheet. When all are done, lightly mist with witch hazel and let dry overnight.

Next day, turn over and mist the bottoms with witch hazel. Let dry another day. The witch hazel forms a crust on the outside that keeps them from cracking and falling apart, although they're still a little fragile. Don't make them when it's damp outside, high humidity makes it much harder to do.

Back to top

Moisture Rich Fizzy

Dry ingredients:

1 cup Baking soda
1/2 cup Corn Starch
1/4 cup Epsom Salt
1/2 cup Citric Acid

Wet ingredients:

2-3/4 tablespoons Almond oil
3/4 tablespoon Water
1/4 teaspoon Borax (optional)
1-1/2 teaspoon fragrance oil or essential oil
Colorant

Mix all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and then in a separate dish or cup mix wet ingredients and then combine the two.I uuse a wire wisk....the mix doesnt really even look wet but it compacts nicely into molds and after drying through the night they are rock hard and fizz for almost 2 minutes.

Make sure to wisk fast when adding wet ingredients to prevent fizzing whisk for a good minute and then press mix into your mold.

Back to top

Fizzy Milk Bath Bombs

1 c. baking soda
1/2 c. citric acid
1/2 c. corn starch
1/3 c. epsom salts (finely ground)
1/4 c. powdered milk (buttermilk will clump so don't use it)
2T olive oil (tip: infuse calendula petals for an extra therapeutic bath)
2tsp melted cocoa butter
1tsp fragrance or essential oil
3-7tsp water/witch hazel blend (1:1). TIP: put in a spray bottle for even dispersion

Mix all dry ingredients together well, drizzle the olive oil and melted cocoa butter and fragrance/essential oil over the dry mix, mix together with hands, and then use witch hazel/water blend to get the product to the right consistency to shove into your favorite molds. Enjoy with your bath!

Back to top

For an EXTRA moisturizing Bath Fizzy, try this recipe:
Super Moisturizing Bath Fizzy

1 cup citric acid
2 cups baking soda
1 tsp. fragrance oil
1 tsp. olive oil (or shea butter or cocoa butter)

step one


Follow the basic bath bomb directions above and drizzle the olive oil in with the fragrance oil.

step two


If you want to substitute some of the baking soda, you can substitute up to 1 full cup with dehydrated milk (goat's milk or regular milk).

step three


If you want a colored bath, add powdered food coloring or liquid food coloring. If you add 1/2 tsp. of liquid food coloring to the basic recipe, this should give you a colored bath. If you add 1/8 tsp. powdered food coloring to the basic recipe, you will get a wonderfully vibrant tub. If your tub is dirty, or has excess oil in it, this recipe will leave a ring around your tub. Happy Soaping!

Back to top

Tub Tints

Tub Tints are a really fun way to add some pizzazz to your bath!

3 cups baking soda
1 1/2 cups citric acid
2 cups cornstarch
3 cc fragrance oil
.15cc powdered water-soluble dye (pigments or micas will NOT work. FD&C Blue and FD&C Yellow from Bramble Berry WILL work. If you use a pigment or mica, it may not disperse evenly in the water, and may stain your tub!)

Mix all ingredients completely. The mixture will appear white.

Package into decorative bags and tie closed.

To use, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup per full tub of water. Mix crystals in completely before getting into the water. Taa-daaaa! Colored bath water!

Pick up the aluminum pie pan using the pencil as a handle and place it on top of the upside-down styrofoam plate that you were just rubbing with the wool.

Touch the aluminum pie pan with your finger. You should feel a shock. If you don't feel anything, try rubbing the styrofoam plate again with the wool.

Once you feel the shock, try turning the lights out before you touch the pan again.

Experiments:
Acids & Bases

Make an Indicator from Red Cabbage
Safety Rules:
Parent supervision
Take care with fire or heat
Take care with a knife

Materials you need are:
a stove
red cabbage
a knife
a chopping board
a saucepan
a spoon
water
a strainer
a container
an eyedropper
Cut up 2 or 3 red cabbage leaves into small pieces. Place these into a saucepan and cover with hot tap water. Boil the mixture for 5 to 10 minutes. Allow it to cool and strain it, keeping the liquid.
You have made an indicator that changes colour when acids or bases are added to it. Use an eye dropper to do this.

Test Household Acids and Bases
Safety Rules:
Parent supervision
Take care with household chemicals (Some may be poisonous)
Wear gloves and goggles
Use a red cabbage indicator or a pool pH test kit to test household chemicals to find out whether they are acidic, neutral or basic. Try vinegar, Coke, tomato sauce, sodium bicarbonate (also called bicarbonate of soda or baking soda), epsom salts (also called magnesium sulphate), soap, toothpaste, black tea or coffee, salty water and many others.

Alka-Seltzer Rocket
Safety Rules:
Parent supervision
Take care with Alka-Seltzer (It is poisonous)
Wear gloves and goggles
Do it out doors as it is messy and loud

Materials you need are:
an empty film canister with a tightly-fitting lid
an Alka-Seltzer antacid tablet (from the supermarket)
water
Fill the film canister one-third full with water. Drop 1/2 of the Alka-Seltzer tablet into the water and quickly put the lid on tightly. Turn the canister upside down on the ground. Stand back and wait.
The Alka-Seltzer tablet produces a lot of gas on reacting with the water. The gas blows the lid off the container which should lift up like a rocket. Try using cardboard to make a cylinder-shaped rocket around your film canister.

Balloon Blower
Materials you need are:
a container with a narrow opening
a balloon (the round type)
vinegar
sodium bicarbonate (also called baking soda)
a teaspoon
Put about two teaspoons of sodium bicarbonate and some vinegar in the container. Quickly put the balloon over the mouth of the container to catch the gas produced.
The gas produced is carbon dioxide and should inflate the balloon.

Floating Currants
Materials you need are:
a clear container
vinegar
sodium bicarbonate (also called baking soda)
a teaspoon
currants

Into the transparent container, put about 250mL and about 50mL vinegar. Add a heaped dessertspoonful of sodium bicarbonate. Then quickly drop about six currants into the mixture. If necessary, add more sodium bicarbonate and push the currants under the water.
The mixture produces carbon dioxide gas. Bubbles of the gas should make the currants rise up in the water.

Make 'Rubbery' Eggs
Put a raw egg in an icecream container and cover it with vinegar. Leave for a few days.
The vinegar should dissolve the eggshell and the eggs should feel like rubber. The reaction is :
Acetic acid (Vinegar)+ Calcium carbonate (Eggshell) Carbon dioxide + Calcium acetate salt + Water
This also works with cleaned chicken bones.

Make a Bath Bomb
Materials you need are:
sodium bicarbonate (also called baking soda)
citric acid (from the supermarket)
a sieve
2 mixing bowls
2 spoons
a container as a mould
It is essential that all the materials and the weather are very dry. Sieve one-and-a -half cups of sodium bicarbonate and a cup of citric acid into fine powder into a bowl. Stir well. Divide the stirred mixture into your moulds and compress it with your fingers. Let it sit for 24 hours in a dry place and then turn out your moulds. Test them in a tub or bath of water. You can add a few drops of food colouring or fragrant oils before setting if you like.
When the dry mould is placed in water, the acid (citric acid) and the base (sodium bicarbonate) should react.

Make Sherbet
Materials you need are:
icing sugar
sodium bicarbonate (also called baking soda)
citric acid (from the supermarket)
a container
a spoon
Add the following ingredients to a cup: 3 teaspoons of icing sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of citric acid and 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda. Mix the ingredients thoroughly and taste the mixture.
It should froth on your tongue when it comes in contact with your saliva because the acid reacts with the carbonate to make salt, water and carbon dioxide gas. It should also tingle because of the citric acid, and taste sweet because of the sugar.
