These natural, do-it-yourself bath bombs from our healthy friends at NOW Foods make any bath a lavish and relaxing spa experience! They’re the perfect handmade gift for any occasion, including Mother's Day, birthdays or even just a gift-to-self!
Ingredients:
½ cup cornstarch
1 cup baking soda
½ cup NOW Citric Acid
2 teaspoons NOW Liquid Coconut Oil
¾ teaspoon water
16 drops NOW Rose Absolute Oil
6 drops NOW Ylang Ylang Extra Oil
Small spray bottle filled with water
Soap molds, silicone molds, or small muffin tins
Dried flowers or tea leaves
Directions:
1. In bowl, stir together dry ingredients: cornstarch, baking soda and citric acid, breaking up lumps.
2. Separately, mix together wet ingredients: liquid coconut oil, water and essential oils
3. Combine the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients; mix very thoroughly. The mixture should be the consistency of fine, moist sand when you squeeze the mixture in your palm.
(TIP: If the mixture crumbles too easily, you can use a spray bottle to spritz water gradually to desired consistency.)
4. If using dried flowers or herbs, place some in the bottom of each mold!
5. Fill each mold with the damp powder mixture, pressing everything in the mixture down firmly.
6. Allow the molds to sit overnight to dry and harden before removing from the molds.
7. For a fragrant and calming spa experience, add a bath bomb to your bath... Or, give away as sweet gifts!
