Time to relax is crucial. After trying to talk your friend out of her insecurities and being the damage control queen at work, it’s time to wind down. Get your favorite playlist, some candles and these at-home bath bomb recipes will help you relax to your liking. 

What you’ll need

The most basic ingredients are cornstarch or arrowroot, salt, oil, liquid, scents and color. Along with that, the equipment that you will need is a digital scale and a bath bomb mold. Make sure you have these handy or else you may end up with a questionable bath bomb.

This is the easiest and most basic way to make your own bath bombs. First, combine all of your dry ingredients in a large bowl and the liquid ingredients in a separate small bowl. Then, you add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix with your hands. 

If you don’t want the scent on your hands or have sensitive skin, wear gloves.

Once the mixture holds together and doesn’t crumble you’re ready to push them into molds. And remember to grease the molds so that the mixture does not stick. Once you’ve placed the bath bombs into the mold, leave them for 24 hours so they can harden. Then, ta-da you have your very own bath bomb!

The benefit to using cornstarch is that it makes the bath bomb silky and it also prevents your bath bomb from being too soft. We need a soft but firm bath bomb.

Cornstarch is what makes the bath bomb silky. However, you can decide to not use it at all or you may want to use an organic alternative. Depending on your skin type, it may be a good idea to go with products that will be better for your skin.

YouTuber Rclbeauty101 has a video on her channel on how to make bath bombs without cornstarch.

Imagine the relaxation you’ll feel afterward just by using something that helps you to achieve it. It’s so easy. The Epsom Salt Council also has a really great recipe for a bath bomb with Epsom salt.

Bath Bombs without citric acid

Citric acid is what causes the fizzy nature of a bath bomb. However, it’s not all good news. According to the Centers for Disease Control and prevention, if you inhale citric acid it could cause shortness of breath as well as a sore throat. Also, if it comes in contact with your skin it will cause redness.

So, it would be a good idea to keep citric acid out of bath bombs. Unless it is something that you know your skin would be okay with and have no reaction to. Some alternatives that you can use are cream of tartar or lemon juice.

When you find out that you can make bath bombs at home, it changes everything.

Think of all the benefits that can come with DIY bath bombs and you’ll never want to stop making them.
