Bath Bombs with Fresh Lemon Zest
These days all the rage is bath bombs. I know after a long day of work, there is nothing more relaxing than sitting in a hot bath, reading a novel. I am obsessed with bath bombs in my bath but sometimes they are just too darn expensive. Now I can make my own with these Fresh Lemon Zest Bath Bombs that are homemade and very easy to make! How to Make Bath Bombs at home is something I now solved!
Ingredients for the Bath Bomb Recipe:
- 2 oz Epsom salt
- 4 oz baking soda
- 2 oz corn starch
- 2 oz citric acid
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (liquified)
- ½ tbsp water
- 1 drop lemon soap coloring
- 20 drops Lemon essential oil (essential oils in bath)
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
Supplies:
- Large bowl
- Whisk
- 2-3 medium size round bath bomb molds
- Small jar with lid
- Measuring cups
- Measuring spoons
How to Make a Lemon Bomb:
- Zest a lemon, enough to get 2 tablespoons of lemon zest. Pat dry between paper towels.
- Mix the dry ingredients first (Epsom salt, baking soda, cornstarch and citric acid), using the whisk. Mix well to ensure there are no clumps.
- If the coconut oil is not already liquid, put it in a small glass bowl and microwave for 30 seconds.
- Pour the wet ingredients (coconut oil, water, soap coloring and essential oil) into jar, secure the lid and shake well.
- Very slowly add the liquid mixture to the dry mixture, about a few drops at time, while whisking. If you’re not pouring slowly enough, the mixture will start to fizz and you don’t want that to happen.
- Once all of the liquid has been poured into the dry mixture, mix very well until the color is consistent.
- Pour 1 tablespoon of lemon zest in, mix well.
- Put some of the lemon zest into one side of each mold.
- Immediately fill the molds with the mixture, firmly stuffing each side full.
- Secure both parts of the mold together and let set. I always give it about a day, just to be on the safe side.
- Carefully release bath bombs from molds and put into an airtight container, or individual cello bags.
