Recipe inspiration
Beautifying Rose Milk Bath Bombs
1 c baking soda
½ c citric acid
½ c cornstarch or arrowroot powder
¼ c powdered milk
3 T Epsom salt
dried rose petals
1 tsp water or rose floral water
3 -4 tsp almond oil
15 - 20 drops rose oil
Whisk the dry ingredients and the rose petals together in a bowl. In a separate bowl mix the wet ingredients together, then slowly add the liquid to the dry ingredients, whisking as you go. If the mixture holds its shape when squeezed together it is ready, otherwise if not, use a spray bottle of water to spray once or twice to moisten the mixture. Don't spray too much or it will fizz. Press the mixture into molds and leave to dry overnight. View more of our bath bomb recipes on our blog.
