Did you know that we sell a key ingredient, citric acid, for making bath bombs?
Sample Recipe
Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups baking soda
1 cup citric acid
2 cups corn starch
food colouring
scented essential oils
Equipment:
Bowl
Glass bowl
Spritzer bottle
Spatula
Small baking molds (such as tartlet lids)
Method:
Sift dry ingredients into a bowl.
To add colour if desired, add 6 drops of food colouring to spritzer bottle with water.
Pour 1 cup of dry mixture into glass bowl. Lightly spritz with coloured water, stirring after each spritz until the powder packs tightly. Add water slowly, so the mixture does not fizz.
Check the consistency of the powder with your fingers; when it can be tightly packed or shaped, stop spritzing (this may take a while).
Add 5-6 drops of essential oil. Mix well.
Firmly pack the mixture into small baking molds. Each of these tablets uses 1/4 cup of the powdered mixture, which is good for one bath.
Repeat with remaining powder mixture, using different essential oils and colours of water for variety.
Allow the tablets to set for 2 hours, then carefully pop out the tinted tablets.
