How to Make Bath Bombs At Home

Most women will tell you that bath bombs are the greatest and I would agree 100%! There is nothing like relaxing in a nice warm bath with bath bombs that make you smell great and your skin feel even better. Baths are great for relieving the stresses of a hard day or when you need a night of pampering. Of course bath salts and bubbles are also used but some of the ingredients in any bath product can usually be questionable. This is why it can be very beneficial to make bath bombs at home so you always have them on hand and should you run out, you can make them instead of waiting till the next time you get to the store.

How to Make Homemade Bath Bombs Homemade bath bombs can make your skin feel super soft without a big mess to clean up afterward. Think of a bath bomb like a volcano project you probably did in school. When you used baking soda and vinegar to make the volcano bubbly so it would erupt. Bath bombs are similar to that very volcano. When the bath bomb hits the water it fizzes and disperses the oils in the water as well as the air. If you have overly or just plain sensitive skin you should avoid store-bought bombs and simply make bath bombs at home.

How to Make Bath Bombs at Home

Here is a recipe that I use that is fairly simple and basic should you choose to make bath bombs at home. The ingredients needed are baking soda, fine citric acid, witch hazel, essential oils of your choosing and up to 2 inch molds. You then take one part citric acid and combine with two parts baking soda. If you enjoy using Epsom or sea salt add one part of this as well. Try to choose a very fine grain if possible. Blend all of these dry ingredients very well to increase the chances of your bath bomb turning out properly.

Now it’s time to add in the essential oils to the dry mix. The best part about using essential oils is that they come from plants and are not like synthetic oils which can cause allergic reactions in some people. Feel free to make your own combination or simply use a single oil. Should you have allergies to pollen it’s important to avoid oils that come from flowers and you might consider herbal oils. Once you have blended the oils with the dry mixture fill a spray bottle with the witch hazel. You then spray the witch hazel in the mixture constantly stirring until it all sticks together. Press down on the mixture to see if it sticks good.

When it does, you can then put them in the molds. Who knew one could make bath bombs at home with such ease?

Place the mixture in the molds and press together. Do not worry if you have some coming out between the seam of the molds as this actually increases the chance of the bath bomb staying together. Wait just a few minutes then gently release the bath bomb from the mold by gently tapping the mold. Let the bombs dry on a towel for several hours, overnight if possible. Store them in a container and grab one when you go to take a bath. You now know how to make bath bombs at home so you have no reason not to relax and pamper yourself once in a while with a nice relaxing bath filled with your very own bath bomb creations.

Making Bath Salts

This article is on making bath salts–something that can really make a bath enjoyable and nurturing.

Making bath salts can be a fun and enjoyable hobby and way to spend time with kids, or enjoy time to yourself. We’ve already discussed how easy it is to make Homemade Bath Bombs. Making bath salts is really easy to do, too.

Additionally, if you enjoy taking long baths then making bath salts will really be a fun hobby for you because you will get to enjoy the bath salts personally. There are few things in life as enjoyable as soaking in a hot warm bath, and letting the bath salts you made go to work on healing and nourishing your body. It really can be a great way to emotionally heal yourself.

If you are looking into making bath salts here are the basic things you will need and here is how I make them:

1) You will, of course, need salt. Different people prefer different things when making bath salts, but you can combine both sea salt and Epsom salts.

2) You will need a scent. Most of the time when making bath salts people use fragrance oils, aromatherapy oils, or essential oils.

3) Equipment to mix everything in. Glass or metal bowls can work fine for this.

4) Equipment to mix everything with. You can use spoons for mixing or whisks for mixing.

5) Plastic or glass jars to put the final product in. Plastic is recommended because if you drop a plastic jar it won’t break, and if you have kids, especially small kids, this is something you have to think about.

There are some other tips/tricks when making bath salts that you might want to include. These include dendritic salt, or natrasorb salt. These are designed to hold the fragrance in when you are making bath salts. Additionally, liquid soap colors or micas work well to hold color in your bath salts. Finally, baking soda is a great water conditioner and also can be used as a skin softener ingredient.

Once you have this equipment you will also need measuring cups to measure out the specific ingredients needed for making bath salts.

Once you have the equipment lined up and are ready to make bath salts just follow the instructions. It really is easy and a fun hobby to have. The other thing you need to be careful of is making sure that you don’t spill the ingredients, and also to make sure that you don’t get any of the ingredients in your eyes. It is recommended when making bath salts to wear an apron and rubber gloves, and to also use eye protection. If you have children with you make sure they are dressed appropriately, too.

Essential Oils (Some of these include: Almond oil, Rosewater, Vitamin E oil, Fine Citric Acid)
Food Coloring
A Large Mixing Bowl
A large spoon or whisk to mix the ingredients
