What are the benefits of sweet almond oil?
Almond oil is rich in vitamins and nutrients. From vitamin E which is the key to strong immunity, healthy skin, and more. Almond oil also contains vitamin A which is essential for growth and development. So not only is this nut healthy for eating but also when applied to your skin! Since Almond oil is very mild it is almost safe for any skin type whether you have sensitive, dry or oily skin.
Are Sweet Almond DIY Bath Bombs Safe for kids to use?
Generally, homemade or DIY bath bombs are safe to use for kids since they’re mostly made of natural ingredients. However, parents should still rinse kids with clear water to get rid of any residue. It is also safe to check the ingredients as they might be allergic to certain ingredients in the bath bomb.
Can I use different shaped molds?
Yes! You can use a heart, square or whatever you like. As long as the consistency/mixture of the bath bomb is correct, you shouldn’t have a problem with them crumbling or breaking apart. You can also have fun by trying out different colored mica powder.

Sweet Almond DIY Bath Bombs
Materials
- 2 oz Epsom Salt
- 4 oz baking soda
- 2 oz corn starch
- 2 oz citric acid
- 1 tbsp sweet almond oil
- ½ tbsp water
- 20 drops sweet almond fragrance oil
- ¼ tsp Coffee colored mica powder
Tools
- Large bowl
- Whisk
- Measuring cups
- Measuring spoons
- Small jar with lid
- Bath bomb molds
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients (epsom salt, baking soda, citric acid, and corn starch) in a large bowl. Mix very well, using the whisk, until all ingredients are fully combined.
- Add mica powder, stir well until color is blended.
- Add liquid ingredients into a small jar, screw the lid on, and shake very well until combined.
- Add the liquid mixture to the dry mixture very slowly, drop by drop, while whisking. If you do not do this slowly, or don’t whisk while adding the liquid, you will activate the “fizzâ€, and will have to start from scratch.
- Once liquid has been added, whisk very well, until you have a mixture the texture of damp sand.
- Stuff each half of the mold with mixture, secure the two halves, and twist slightly, dusting off any excess mixture.
- Let set for about a day to allow the bath bombs to harden.
- To remove from mold, twist slightly.
