How to make bath bomb at home

You will need
3 cups of baking soda
1 1/2 cups citric acid
2 tablespoons cream of tartar or white kaolin paste
2 tablespoons sodium dodecyl sulfate (SLSA)
1/2 teaspoon cosmetic mica colorant, optional
2 tablespoons oil of choice (we recommend sweet almond oil)
1 tablespoon polysorbate 80 (if using color additives)
Essential oil or essential oil, optional (see note)
Witch hazel, in a fine mist spray bottle
2 1/2″ round metal bath box mold

 

Instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly mix baking soda, cream of tartar (or kaolin) and SLSA. if necessary, stir in mica colorant until completely mixed.
In a small container, mix the oil, fragrance/essential oil and polysorbate 80 (if using).
Continue stirring, slowly mixing the liquid into the dry ingredients until completely blended.
Add citric acid to the mixture and stir until completely mixed.
Test the mixture for moldability – it should feel like slightly wet sand that holds together when held in your hand.
If the mixture is not wet enough to mold, spray it two to three times with a bottle of witch hazel spray and mix thoroughly. Repeat this step as needed until the proper consistency is achieved.
Fill the two halves of the bath box mold with the bath box mixture, making sure the sides of the mold are slightly overflowing. Press the two mold halves firmly together.
Carefully release the bath bomb from the mold (if necessary, tap the mold gently with a wooden spoon) and allow it to dry completely for 24-48 hours, depending on the temperature and humidity in your area.
