Clay helps cleanse and detoxify the skin while making the bath water silky. It also adds a natural, soothing feel to your soak.
Clay can leave a slight residue, but it’s less slippery than oils alone. A quick rinse after your bath should keep the tub clean.
Yes! Clay slightly changes the texture, but they still have that fun fizz and foam when dropped in water.
Supplies Needed to make clay bath bombs:
- Baking soda
- Citric acid
- Epsom salts
- Pink Kaolin Clay
- Sweet almond oil
- Water
- Bath bomb molds
How to Make Clay bath Bombs
Put the baking soda, citric acid, epsom salts, and kaolin clay into a bowl. Stir them together with a whisk until they are fully mixed.
Combine the sweet almond oil and water. It’s easiest if you shake them in a small jar.
Slowly add the liquid to the dry ingredients while whisking. Do this drop by drop to avoid causing fizz, which could mess up the mixture. Keep whisking until it clumps together easily.
Fill both halves of the bath bomb mold with the mixture, press them together, and give a quick twist. Let the mixture sit in the mold for one hour, then remove and let it harden overnight.
