Iced Bath Bombs

Method:

1. Weigh the mica (if using in the mixture), witch hazel, OliveM 300, almond oil, and essential oil into a bowl.
2. Weigh the baking soda and Epsom salts into a different large bowl. Stir to combine it, then add the witch hazel mixture. Put on a pair of latex gloves and blend the mixture thoroughly using your hands.
3. Next, weigh out the citric acid and cream of tartar, and add to the mixture, blending to combine. You should end up with a clumpy mixture that holds together when squeezed firmly, kind of like damp sand.
4. If the bath bomb mixture starts to dry out, spritz some isopropyl alcohol into the mixture until it becomes workable again.
5. Mold your bath bombs by packing each half of the mold to overflowing with your mixture then squeeze the two halves together, compacting the bath bomb mixture tightly. To release the mold, lightly tap around the middle with the back of a spoon. Release one half of the mold at a time, taking care to handle the newly formed bath bomb carefully. Once released, gently place it on a tray to dry and harden overnight.

To decorate:

1. Melt the cocoa butter fully, then stir in the mica.
2. Allow it to cool a little bit, then drizzle, dollop or pipe it over the bath bombs, depending on how you want them to look.
   You can achieve a range of different looks, and even add sprinkles such as dried petals, rolled oats, poppy seeds etc on top of the icing.
3. Allow the icing to set fully before using.

To use the bath bombs, just drop one or two into your bath and enjoy the aromatherapy fizz!
