Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup baking soda
  • 1/2 cup citric acid
  • 1/2 cup Epsom salt
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons water
  • 2 teaspoons essential oil (your choice)
  • 1-2 tablespoons glow-in-the-dark powder (non-toxic) Adjust based on desired glow
  • Optional: food coloring (for added color)

Equipment

  • Silicone molds or bath bomb molds

Instructions
 

Measure and Combine Dry Ingredients

  • In a large bowl, mix together baking soda, citric acid, Epsom salt, and cornstarch.
  • Stir well until all dry ingredients are evenly combined.

Incorporate Wet Ingredients

  • In a separate small bowl, combine water, essential oil, and glow-in-the-dark powder.
  • If desired, add food coloring for a burst of color and mix until uniform.

Combine Mixtures

  • Slowly drizzle the wet mixture into the dry mixture while stirring continuously.
  • The mixture should hold together when squeezed in your hand but not be too wet. Adjust water carefully.

Mold the Bath Bombs

  • Firmly pack the mixture into your silicone molds or bath bomb molds.
  • Press down tightly to ensure they hold their shape once removed.

Drying Time

  • Let the bath bombs dry for 24 hours in a cool, dry place.
  • Once dry, gently remove them from molds.

Notes

Consider customizing scents and add-ins. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness.
