Heart Bath Bomb
Here is a clean and simple heart bath bomb recipe perfect for yourself or as a gift to your SO or besties!
Yield: 6 bath bombs
Equipment
- 1 Large bowl
- 1 Glass liquid measuring cup
- 1 Whisk
- 1 Heart shaped 6 Cavity Silicone Mold
Materials
- 4 Oz Epsom Salts unscented, unless making all the same scent
- 4 Oz Citric Acid
- 4 Oz Cornstarch
- 8 Oz Baking Soda
- 1 ¾ teaspoon Coconut Oil If only using Coconut Oil (without Shea Butter), then double
- 1 ¾ teaspoon Shea Butter
- 3 Tsp Water
- 1 Oz Dried florals of choice
- 7 drops Essential Oils of choice
Instructions
- Whisk the Citric Acid, Epsom Salts, Cornstarch, and Baking Soda together in large bowl
- Melt the coconut oil to liquid, and then add the water, shea butter and essential oils to the melted coconut oil. Mix.
- Whisk the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients very slowly to avoid making the baking soda fizz. Once combined, the mixture should stick together and be moldable.
- Add dried florals into the base of the heart shaped silicone mold. I used rosebuds and lavender!
- Distribute the mixture evenly into the heart cavities and press firmly.
- Let the mixture dry for 12-14 hours, or until completely dry. I checked mine after 24 hours because I forgot about them! haha. But they were completely dried at that point.
- Flip the mold over and carefully release the heart bath bombs from the mold!
Notes
- If you notice the mixture rising over the mold as it dries, press it down into the mold every few hours. This helps pack it down and create the mold details.
- This silicone mold I used is technically a soap mold but I loved it because of the details. Any bath bomb mold will also work with this recipe!
