Directions:In large bowl: combine and baking soda, citric acid, cornstarch, Epson salt, and dried lemon zest. Whisk thoroughly to mix. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the wet ingredients: coconut oil (melted), water, essential oil, and vanilla. Stir to mix.
Mix the ingredients from step 2 into dry ingredients from step 1. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
Working quickly, test the mixture to see if it will lightly stick together: squeeze a small handful of the mixture and if it lightly crumble/sticks together, it is good. Proceed to the next step. If the mixture does not hold together, use a water bottle to spritz the mixture with a tiny bit of water, whisk the mixture again and test. Repeat until the mixture lightly holds together. *DO NOT add too much water or the mixture will begin to fizz. This means the ingredients have been activated and unfortunately, you will have to start over with new ingredients.
Once the mixture holds together, press it into the mold. Pack it tightly, but do not overfill the mold. If you are using round plastic ornament molds, press each half of the mold together until it closes.
Allow bath bombs to dry at least 6 to 8 hours or overnight inside the molds. Carefully remove bath bombs in the plastic molds and allow more drying time if they are not fully hard and dry to the touch. |
