Bath Bombs

Date Submitted: October 29, 2006
Bath Bombs are great for gifts. Use 1-3 in your bath water.

Recipe 1
* 2 T Citric Acid
* 2 T Cornstarch
* 1/4 c baking soda
* 1/4 t fragrance oil
* 3 - 6 drops of liquid colorant (if desired)
* 3 T Coconut Oil ( or any other emollient oil like Almond Oil, Avocado Oil, or Apricot Kernel Oil)

Place all of the dry ingredients (first 3) into a bowl and mix well.

Add fragrance and colorant.

In a small glass bowl combine oil then add fragrance
and colorant.

Slowly add oil mixture into dry ingredients and blend well.

Take truffle sized scoops of the mixture and shape into balls. Balls should be about 1" in diameter.

Let balls rest on a sheet of waxed paper for 2 - 3 hours. Let the bombs dry and harden for 24 - 48 hours.

Pack each bomb into its own candy cup. Store bombs in a closed container.

To use drop, 1 -3 into warm bath water.
Recipe 2
Dry ingredients:
* 1 cup baking soda
* 1/2 cup citric acid
* 1/2 cup corn starch

Sieve dry ingredients till you get a nice smooth blend. (Optional;add 1/3 cup Epson salts or coarse sea salt after sieving)

Wet ingredients:
* 2 1/2 Tablespoons of sunflower or other light oil (I use sweet almond oil,
available at drug or health food stores)
* 3/4 Tablespoon water
* 1-2 teaspoons essential oils or fragrance oils
* 1/4 teaspoons borax as an emulsifier
* vegetable or other natural colorant (optional)

Combine wet ingredients and borax in a jar. Cover tightly and shake vigorously. Drizzle onto dry ingredients and blend thoroughly.

Pack tightly into molds and slide out. They should release easily. Allow to dry overnight. (this mixture is very crumbly till dry)
