I want to show you how to relax and unwind by showing you how to make Bath Bombs. These lavender and geranium bath bombs give an amazing floral scent to your hot bath and create a very relaxing at-home spa experience. With some basic DIY beauty supplies (some can even be found in your pantry) you can make your own bath bombs in any shape, size, or scent you like in just a few minutes. They also make a lovely gift when you fill up a pretty jar with them.
You can make small or medium bath bombs in silicone molds or large round ones in the metal bath bomb molds, but you can also make them in muffin pans and other household items. Here are 6 household items you can use as bath bomb molds.
Lavender and Geranium Bath Bombs Recipe
Make these Bath Bombs with Lavender and Geranium essential oils to help soothe aching muscles, soak away headaches, and relax away worries.
Supplies Needed:
- 1 cup baking soda
- 1/4 cup Epsom salts
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 cup citric acid
- 1 Tablespoon dried lavender buds
- 2 Tablespoons coconut oil
- 15 drops lavender essential oil
- 10 drops geranium essential oil
- purple mica powder-optional
Equipment:
- Spray bottle filled with water
- bath bomb molds
Directions:
- Melt coconut oil, 30 seconds in the microwave should do it.
- Mix together baking soda, Epsom salts, cornstarch, citric acid, and melted coconut oil until well combined.
- Spritz with a few sprays of water, mix with your hand so that you can feel the consistency. Keep adding water until the mixture is just barely damp but holds together when you squeeze it in your hand. You don’t want it too wet or it will begin fizzing before you are ready!
- Stir in essential oils, dried lavender, and mica powder until you get your desired shade.
- Press into your mold firmly, use the back of a spoon to be sure its pressed in tight. Silicone molds are easy to work with and clean up but if you don’t have one on hand you can use a muffin tin sprayed with non-stick.
- Allow the bath bombs to dry for 24 hours.
- Gently pop the bath bombs from the mold and place in a container with a tight-fitting lid.
To use the bath bombs:
Add 1-3 bath bombs to your bath water, depending on how large your molds are.
