Instructions

In bowl, place citric acid, baking soda, cornstarch, and oil.

Add eight to 10 drops of the essential oil or blend of choice.

Mix well with spoon until soft dough is formed. It should have the consistency of damp sand.
Note: If the mixture is too wet, try adding a little more baking soda and cornstarch until consistency is correct.

At this point, you may add food coloring, dried herbs, or flower petals to mixture.

Place mixture in silicone molds. Let sit 24 hours before removing from mold.

To use, drop in tub or shower and allow to dissolve.

Note: Choose an essential oil to best suit your needs. For relaxation, try Lavender or doTERRA Serenity®. For a mood boost, try Wild Orange, Citrus Bliss®, or Peppermint.

Bath bombs are excellent gifts for both adults and children. When making for kids, try adding some color to the mixture. Not only will they love that the water changes colors, but will also love the fizz from the bath bomb
