DIY Scented Bath Bombs

Women are super in love with bath bombs (or bath fizzies) right now. I have a lot of friends that buy them at LUSH and they’re $5  EACH. So, they’re paying $5 every time they take a bath. That’s crazy to me. Here is a really simple, natural way to  make your own bath bombs from Vitacost at home in minutes and for literally a few cents each bomb!

What You’ll Need:

• ½ cup of citric acid
• 1 cup of baking soda
• 3 oz. witch hazel
• Small spray bottle
• Rubber ice cube trays or molds
• Essential oil of your choice (lavender works really well)
• ½ cup of Epsom salt or sea salt
• Cocoa  butter

Directions:

• Stir together the citric acid, Epsom or sea salt, and the baking soda until very well blended. Make sure all of your dry ingredients are well combined, or your bomb may turn into more of a dud.
• Fill the spray bottle with the witch hazel and a small amount of cocoa butter. This will help bind the bomb together, and also help with moisture.
• Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil.
• Spray the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring well, until it starts to clump. When the mixture holds shape, quickly transfer it to your mold.
• Let your bombs dry for a short time (about 10 to 15 minutes), then remove them from the mold. Try lightly tapping the underside if they don’t come out easily.
• Let bombs dry overnight before use.
• Then just plop your bomb into the bathtub and be whisked away to a land of bliss!
