Easter Egg Bath Bomb Recipe
For this DIY you will need baking soda, citric acid, epsom salt, cornstarch, almond oil, essential oils, mica powder, spray bottle, and egg molds.
In a large bowl, combine baking soda, citric acid, Epsom salt, and cornstarch. Mix well and break up any clumps.
In a small bowl, add the essential oil to the almond oil.
Pour the oil mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until evenly incorporated.
Lightly spritz the mixture with water, mixing continuously. The texture should resemble damp sand and hold together when pressed. Be careful not to over-wet, as this can start the fizzing reaction.
Divide the mixture into separate bowls for each color.
Add mica powder to each bowl and mix until you reach your desired color.
Pack the mixture tightly into your Easter egg molds.
Let the bath bombs dry for 24 hours before removing from molds and using or packaging.
About the Ingredients
Each ingredient plays an important role in creating the perfect bath bomb.
Baking Soda: The base of the bath bomb, baking soda helps create that softening effect in the water and works with citric acid to produce the fizz.
Citric Acid: This is what creates the fizzing reaction when the bath bomb hits water.
Epsom Salt: Adds a soothing element to bath time and helps create a relaxing soak.
Cornstarch: Helps slow down the fizzing reaction and gives the bath bomb a smoother feel in the water.
Almond Oil: Provides moisture to the skin, leaving it feeling soft after the bath.
Essential Oils: Add fragrance and can enhance the overall experience. Choose oils that are safe for children if these are intended for kids.
Mica Powder: Creates vibrant, customizable colors that make these bath bombs festive and fun.
Tips for Success
- Work in sections when adding water so the mixture doesn’t dry out.
- After adding mica powder, check the texture and add a light spritz of water if needed.
- Pack the molds firmly to prevent cracking.
- Avoid adding too much water at once to prevent early fizzing.
FAQ
Why are my bath bombs crumbling?
The mixture may be too dry. Add a very small amount of water and mix again until it holds together when pressed.
Why did my bath bombs start fizzing early?
Too much water was added too quickly. Always spritz slowly and mix continuously.
Can I use different molds?
Yes, any bath bomb mold will work. Egg molds are just perfect for the Easter theme.
Are these safe for kids?
Yes, as long as you use kid-safe essential oils and appropriate amounts.
Can I skip the mica powder?
You can. The bath bombs will still work but will be plain white without added color.
