Basic Bath Bomb Recipe

This document provides instructions for making basic bath bombs with three main ingredients: citric acid, baking soda, and witch hazel. The citric acid and baking soda must be thoroughly blended before adding coloring and fragrance oils. Witch hazel is then slowly added to the mixture while stirring until the mixture sticks together, at which point it should be packed into molds. The bombs are left to dry for 3-4 hours to complete the process.

Basic Bath Bomb

Recipe
Gather your ingredients:
• 1 part citric acid
• 2 parts baking soda
• Witch hazel
• Coloring of your choice
• Fragrance oil of your choice
• Dome Shaped Mold
BLEND BLEND BLEND BLEND the citric acid
and baking soda – this step is super important –
if you don’t blend well, you end up with a grainy
bomb. We actually use a mixer on our larger
batches.
Once you’ve blended really well, add your
colorant. Dry pigments or a specialty bath fizzy
colorant like La Bombes work best – don’t add
too much though – the color shows up once you
add the witch hazel.
Add fragrance oils to your personal nose
preference.

Now, this is the difficult part. Spritz (with a squirt


bottle) the witch hazel onto your batch while
stirring with the other hand. When your batch
sticks together when squished, you need to start
putting it in molds – time is of the essence. If you
wait too long, the mixture will get hard. If you
spritz too much, the mixture will be too wet and
“grow” (start the fizzing reaction) on you.
Put the bombs in molds – wait a few minutes and
tap them out. Let them air dry for 3 or 4 hours and
voila! Wonderful, hard bath bombs. The harder
you pack the bath bombs, the more dense, heavy,
and durable bomb you will get.
