Bath Bomb Ingredients

(affiliate links included)

1 cup baking soda

1/2 cup citric acid

Here is a great deal on a bundle with baking soda and citric acid together!

1/2 cup corn starch

3 Tbsp. Epsom salt

1 Tbsp. coconut oil

Witch hazel and a spray bottle for it to go in

1 tsp ground ginger

10-15 drops grapefruit essential oil

Bath bomb molds or Christmas ornament balls

red and yellow food coloring (optional)

How to make bath bombs

Start by mixing together the baking soda, citric acid, corn starch, epsom salt, and coconut oil. Make sure that the coconut oil gets mixed in really well.

Now spray witch hazel into your mixture. Only spray 5 sprays at a time and mix well, so the mixture doesn’t start to react with the witch hazel. Spray 5 sprays at a time and continue to mix together until the mixture is wet enough to stick together. You don’t want it to be too wet, or else it will continue to react and it won’t stay together.

Next, it is time to add the ingredients that make this bath bomb special! Add 1 tsp of ground ginger and 10-15 drops of grapefruit essential oil.

This next step is totally optional, but adding food coloring makes baths even more fun. For this ginger grapefruit bath bomb, I added red and yellow food coloring to make a nice light, burnt orange color.

Put your mixture into your bath bomb molds. You want to over fill them slightly so that the two sides will really stick together. Once they are in the bath bomb molds, put a rubber band around the sphere to hold both sides together. Either let the bath bomb dry overnight, or put them in the freezer for about 30 minutes.

Carefully take the bath bomb out of the mold and enjoy! These bath bombs are perfect for gifts, too. The ginger and grapefruit are scents that pretty much everyone enjoys.
