Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Combine the baking soda, citric acid, sea salt and cornstarch in a bowl and whisk together.
  2. Mix the sweet almond oil with the lavender essential oil and add to the dry ingredients. Combine thoroughly.
  3. Spray the witch hazel onto the mixture. Use one hand to spray and the other to mix everything together. The bath bomb mixture should resemble crumbly sand and not be too wet. If it holds its shape when you press it between your hands, you’ve added enough witch hazel
  4. Divide the mixture into two bowls, adding 1/3 to one bowl and 2/3s to the second. Dye the one with 2/3s violet. (We used three drops of blue and two drops of pink.)
  5. Add a few lavender buds to one half of the molds, then top with some of the white mixture. Fill the other half with some of the white mixture as well, leaving some room for the violet mixture.
  6. Overfill both halves with the violet mixture and firmly press together. Hold for a few seconds.
  7. Let the bath bombs harden overnight in the molds. To demold, gently tap the top half with a spoon and remove the mold. Don’t twist as breaks the bath bombs. Then tap the bottom half and remove as well.
  8. Let your bath bombs air dry for 24-48h until they have completely hardened. Store in an airtight container away from sunlight and moisture.
