Blue Bath Bomb DIY

Instructions

Step 1: Layout 12-14 disk molds and place a small amount of pink sea salt into the center of each one. Set the molds aside.

Step 2: In a large bowl, add 1 kg of baking soda and 500 grams of citric acid. To get rid of clumps in the mixture, you can push the powders through a sifter or break them up with your fingers. Citric acid has a tendency to take off nail polish, so wear gloves. Thoroughly stir the ingredients together. Add 10 ml of Pacific Pearl Fragrance Oil and stir to fully incorporate.

Step 3: In a small container, mix ⅛ teaspoon of blue extract and ½ tablespoon of witch hazel. Use the back of a spoon to break up any chunks in the extract. Add another ½ tablespoon of witch hazel if necessary. Note: Be very careful with this mixture, it will stain your skin and other porous surfaces.

Step 4: Add about ⅓ of the blue powder mixture to the dry ingredients and use your hands to mix them together. Continue adding splashes of the blue until all of it is added, mixing between each addition. You may find that adding that much liquid at once causes your mixture to fizz – this is fine, just mix very quickly.

Step 5: Check the consistency of the bath bomb mixture. The perfect consistency is similar to wet sand which holds its shape when squeezed. If it’s too dry, use one hand to spritz the mixture with witch hazel and one to mix. Continue spritzing until the mixture holds its shape when squeezed.

Step 6: Begin filling each mold to the inner lip. Firmly compact the mixture into the mold to create a solid shape. Allow the bath bombs to dry and harden for at least 4 hours or up to overnight. To use, place in a hot bath and enjoy.
