DIY Rose Bath Bombs Recipe

Dry Ingredients:

• 1 cup baking soda
• 1/2 cup corn starch
• 1/2 cup citric acid powder
• 1/2 cup Epsom salt
• 3-4 tsp beet powder
• 1/2 cup organic dried rose petals for decoration

Wet Ingredients:

• 3 tsp high-proof alcohol
• 3 tsp melted coconut oil
• 20 drops rose otto essential oil
• 20 drops vanilla essential oil blend

How to make rose bath bombs :

1. Using a sieve over a large bowl, sift all the dry bath bomb ingredients. Using a sieve helps avoid clumps in your mixture, ensuring a uniform final texture. After sifting, mix well.
2. Heat the coconut oil in a small saucepan on low heat until just melted. Promptly remove from heat.
3. Add the essential oils to the coconut oil, then add the fragrance mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix well to combine. You can use a wooden spoon, or knead with your gloved hands.
4. Very slowly, begin to drizzle the alcohol into the bath bomb mixture, mixing immediately to incorporate. Stir quickly to avoid as much fizzing as possible. If you notice a bit too much fizzing of the dry ingredients, add the alcohol even slower. Mix or knead until everything is fully incorporated.
5. Once the mixture is ready, scoop approximately 1 tablespoon of the dried rose petals into one half of your bath bomb mold.
6. Then, add the bath bomb mixture. Firmly pat the mixture to conform to your mold, slightly overfilling it. Do the same with the other half of the mold, without adding petals at the bottom.
7. Put the two sides of each mold together and press firmly.
8. Place your rose petal bath bombs on the table to set for 3 hours. Don’t leave the bombs in the mold too long or they will be harder to remove.
9. Very gently release each bath bomb from the mold. You may need to twist gently, or hit the molds to release the bath bomb.
10. Once you’ve removed the molds, carefully place each bath bomb back into the bottom half of the mold.
11. Leave your bath bombs for at least 24 hours to dry out fully.
12. Once your bath bombs are completely dry, wrap them in plastic wrap to protect them from moisture. Store in a cool, dry place.

Who doesn’t love a soaking in a warm bath with a good book and a glass of something delicious? Added bonus if you add a fragrant, fizzy bath bomb to your bath water.
