Rose Petal Bath Bombs
Ingredients:
- 2 oz Epsom salt
- 4 oz baking soda
- 2 oz corn starch
- 2 oz citric acid
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tbsp water
- 15-20 drops Rose fragrance oil
- 1 drop Peach soap colorant
- ¼ cup dried rose petals
Supplies:
- Large bowl
- Whisk
- 3-4 medium size round bath bomb molds
- Small jar with lid
- Measuring cups
- Measuring spoons
Directions:
- In a large bowl, combine the Epsom salt, baking soda, cornstarch and citric acid. Mix well with a whisk, making sure to remove any clumps.
- Pour the olive oil, water, fragrance oil and soap colorant into a jar. Secure the lid and shake well to form the color.
- Very slowly add the liquid mixture to the dry mixture. Add just a few drops at a time, while continuously whisking. If you’re not pouring slowly enough and whisking while pouring, the mixture will start to fizz and the bath bombs won’t form correctly.
- Once all of the liquid has been poured into the dry mixture, mix very well until the color is consistent.
- Add the rose petals and give the mixture a quick stir.
- 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.
