Basic Bath Bombs
Dry Ingredients:
1 cup baking soda
1/2 cup citric acid*
1/2 cup corn starch
Sieve dry ingredients til you get a nice smooth blend. (Optional: add 1/3 cup epsom salts or coarse sea salt after sieving)
Wet Ingredients:
2 1/2 T. sunflower or other light oil (I use sweet almond oil,
available at drug or health food stores)
3/4 T. water
1 to 2 teaspoons essential oils or fragrance oils
1/4 teaspoon 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 moulds and slide out. They should release easily. Allow to dry overnight**.
