candlemaker2005 Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Bath Bombs / Bath Fizzies 2 tbs. citric acid (you can get this at a pharmacy) 2 tbs. cornstarch 1/4 cup baking soda 3 tbs. coconut oil (or any other emollient oil like almond, avocado or apricot kernel oil) 1/4 tsp. fragrance oil 3-6 drops of food coloring (if desired) Paper candy cups Place all of the dry ingredients (first 3) into a bowl and mix well. Place coconut oil into a small glass bowl and add fragrance and food coloring. Slowly add oil mixture into dry ingredients and mix well. Scoop up small amounts of the mixture and shape into 1" balls. Let the balls rest on a sheet of waxed paper for about 2 to 3 hours, then place each ball into a candy cup to let dry and harden for 24 to 48 hours. Store bombs in a closed, air-tight container. To use, drop 1 to 3 bombs into warm bath water. havent tried this yet but looks easy enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 yes, there are alot of variations to the bath bomb recipe. Most peeps explain their rationale as to what works for them. I suppose experience is the best teacher though so I would recommend jumping in and trying one out, see what the results are and then tweak from there as needed. Since there are so many variables that come into play, namely climate conditions, that is really the best way to begin.Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
