The ingredients mentioned here can be found easily at home and you can create flower bath bomb in a jiffy. No rocket science it is, we promise!
Ingredients of Basic Bath Bomb:
- ¾ cup corn starch
- ½ cup Epsom salt
- 2 tsp. essential oil of your choice such as Lavender, Eucalyptus, Peppermint or Lemon
- 3-4 tsp of water
- ½ cup citric acid
- 2-3 drops of organic food coloring
- 1 cup baking soda
Things Needed:
- 1 Whisker
- 2 Mixing Bowls
Combine dry and wet ingredients separately. Once you have combined them in two different bowls, start pouring liquid slowly. Slowly, because you would like to address the clumps that are formed when liquid is poured in dry ingredients. It is very important that you have a uniform mixture to work upon. The liquid should not be too dry or wet.
Now, you need to fill this mixture into molds. These molds can be of any shape you would want. You can use heart-shaped molds, you generally use to make cupcakes or muffins, to make bath bomb for your romantic rendezvous. For days when you want to let your hair down, choose no frills and fancy, sphere mold.
Now, when we have won your confidence that making a bath bomb definitely isn’t anything like venturing into the kitchen on your mother’s prodding, let’s take our newly-developed trust to the next level.

Add edible glitter, this can be found easily at a baking shop. It is better to sprinkle the mold before putting the mix into the mold. Use 1-drop blue food color with 1-drop red food color.
For supple and moisturized skin, use coconut oil, olive oil or shea butter.
Food coloring is optional. It adds an aesthetic appeal to the bath bombs but otherwise doesn’t have any impact on any kind of fizz or foam. The best part is nothing is off limits with DIY bath bombs. If you have herbs such as rosemary, chamomile and eucalyptus at disposal, you can use them for their rejuvenating and refreshing effect.
