Easy to make DIY bath bombs recipe with a few simple ingredients. These make perfect gifts, or you can keep them for yourself for a day when you need to relax!
Combine baking soda, citric acid, corn starch, epsom salt and orange zest in a mixing bowl. Whisk free of lumps.
Melt coconut oil in a small glass bowl in the microwave. Add the orange essential oil and food coloring if desired.
Add the oil mixture to the dry mixture and mix well with your hands. Lightly spritz with water a couple of times to get the mixture to barely hold together. Don’t add too much water.
Press the mixture firmly into molds. I used cute flower molds, but you can use a plastic ornament mold, or even a plastic Easter egg. Let dry for at least 4 hours before carefully removing from molds.
After they dry for a few hours, you will have beautiful bath bombs all ready to use. Just drop one in your bath full of hot water and enjoy!
Notes
For a rustic look, you can roll them into balls by hand.
