DIY: Heart Bath Bombs
Recipe makes six heart-shape bath bombs
Ingredients:
2 cups baking soda
1 cup citric acid
3 tablespoons kaolin (white) clay
1 tablespoon hibiscus flower powder
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
Rose petals
Witch hazel
25 drops lavender essential oil
25 drops rose geranium essential oil
Additional Tools:
Heart silicone mold
Mixing bowl
Spray bottle
Parchment paper
Gather your supplies and pour some witch hazel into a spray bottle and set aside. Next add rose petals to the bottom of the silicone mold (be careful not to add too many, you just want a light sprinkle) and set aside.
In your mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients (baking soda, citric acid, clay, hibiscus powder) and mix with your hands, breaking up any clumps.
Next combine the olive oil and essential oils together, then add it to the mixing bowl and use your hands to fully incorporate.
Now comes the fun part. Spray witch hazel, a few sprays at a time, into the mixture using your hands to incorporate. You'll want to work quickly as the citric acid will fizz with each spray. Continue to spray a little at a time until you reach a clump-like consistency that holds together in your hands.
Finally, pack the mixture into the silicone mold. Really push it in tight! Let dry in the mold for 10-15 minutes, then turn onto parchment paper and remove the mold. Let bath bombs dry overnight.
