Spring Themed Bath Bombs
Juliette van der MeerContinuing with our Spring theme, today we're sharing a simple recipe for Spring Bath Bombs: beautiful scented bath bombs that pop with colour and release flower petals as they fizz!
How to Experiment with Bath Bombs
There are almost endless variations on bath bomb recipes, and it's hard to say which is the best. However the most important thing to note is that bath bombs generally require a 2:1 ratio of baking soda to citric acid. Add a little liquid to activate the mixture and you will essentially have a bath bomb.
But we like to add in some other ingredients as well: a bit of cream of tartar helps harden bath bombs and makes them easier to mold and unmold; a touch of oil gives some softing and moisturising properties; micas add colour, and essential oils give beautiful scents. You could also add something like SCI to make it extra foamy, or add some Epsom salts or other kind of salt in place of some of the baking soda. Plus all kinds of 'toppings' like cocoa butter icing, or dried flowers, mica sprinkles etc. There are endless ways to get creative and make beautiful bath bombs!
