Bath bombs have become really popular over the past two years. If you are obsessed with them like I am, it can get pretty expensive to keep stocked. Below you will find a basic bath bomb recipe. The best thing about them is that you can add whatever you want and make them your own. Just remember to really research things before using them, you don't want to irritate or damage your skin.

Tools you will need:

• ​​Large bowl
• ​Whisk 
• ​Bath bomb mold

​Ingredients you will need:

• ​1 cup baking soda
• ​1/2 cup citric acid
• 2 tablespoons Epsom salts
• 1/2 cup corn starch
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 5 to 6 teaspoons water
• a few drops lavender essential oil
• food coloring, optional

Follow these steps:

1. In a large bowl, combine the baking soda, citric acid, corn starch and salts. Whisk in the coconut oil until the mixture is grainy with some large clumps.​
2. One teaspoon at a time, add thee liquid to the dry ingredients while constantly stirring with a large spoon. The mixture may foam a little, that is normal. If you add too quickly, it will ruin the end result. Make sure to take your time. It should resemble damp sand when you are done. It should be dry, but you should be able to form it together as well.
3. Press the mixture into your mold. Allow to dry at least 4 hours.
4. Voila!! Make sure to store in a cool place.
