DIY ROSE PETAL BATH BOMBS
DIY Rose Petal Bath Bombs; a quick and easy recipe on how to make rose petal bath bombs. Simple natural ingredients that are great for the skin and relaxation!
Equipment
- Bath Bomb Molds
Ingredients
- 1 cup baking soda
- ½ cup citric acid
- ½ cup epsom salt
- 3 teaspoon liquid coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon rose oil
- 1 teaspoon water
- ¼ cup dried rose petals
- 1-2 drops red food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Mix the dry ingredients (baking soda, citric acid, and Epsom salt) in a medium-sized bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the rose oil, coconut oil, food coloring (if using), and water. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients slowly. Whisky the mixture as you go.
- Next, using bath bomb molds, create your balls.First, add a few rose petals to the molds for a decorative look at the end.
- You then want to fill each half of the mold with the bath bomb mixture until it’s overflowing and then press it together tightly. Do this over top of the bowl so excess falls back into the bowl. Leave the mold in a tray for about 5 minutes before you open it.
- When you are ready to open the mold, first tap it with a spoon to loosen it. Brush away any excess powder. Allow each bath bomb to sit on a baking sheet or plate to completely dry out before moving them to a storage container.
- Store the bath bombs at room temperature in an airtight container until you are ready to add them to your nice warm bath!
Notes
- You will feel like you need to add more water to the mixture but DON'T. It is supposed to feel dry and crumbly.
- Be sure not to over-melt any of your oils or waxes—if these products get too hot during melting, they may lose some of their properties (such as moisturizing ability) when added back into cooled mixtures like this one!
- Store your ingredients in airtight containers if possible; otherwise, they'll absorb moisture from the air over time and become less effective at fizzing when you add them to water later on down the line! Some people like to wrap them in plastic wrap to keep them extra fresh!
- Drop them into a full bathtub of warm water for optimal fizziness!
- Don't overdo it with essential oils (they can be very strong and cause skin irritation if too much is in the bath bombs).
