Homemade Bath Bombs are super easy to make! There’s nothing like creating your own little aromatherapy spa treatment right at home…for pennies! When I see all the fabulous bath bombs at Lush I can’t help but think of how I can make a batch of them myself. If you are interested in the benefits of aromatherapy for relaxation you will love, love, love these!
I like knowing exactly what’s in my bath bombs…doTERRA Essential Oils are my favorite! I believe I’ve come up with the perfect recipe to turn you into a DIY bath bomb expert in no time flat!
You deserve to enjoy a relaxing bath without spending a ton on a bath bomb…trust me, you won’t know the difference between these and the expensive ones at the mall.
Personalize them with your favorite doTerra essential oils. I made these using Lavender for a relaxing bath {and it smells amazing}! It will also do wonders for your skin while you’re soaking away your cares of the day.
Supplies:
Baking Soda – 1 cup
Citric Acid – 1/2 cup
Corn Starch – 1/2 cup
Almond Oil – 2 tsp.
Essential Oils – 12 drops of Lavender doTERRA Oil
Food Coloring – 4-6 drops
Bath Bomb Molds {These can be found right here on Amazon…they are awesome!!!}
Rubbing Alcohol in a spray bottle

- Add Almond Oil and your essential oils to a small container and mix well.
- Add all the dry ingredients to a large bowl and mix well.
- Slowly add the oils to your dry ingredients mixing as you go. Take your time because you don’t want it lumpy.
- Add the food coloring while mixing.
- Spray your mixture 5-10 times while mixing until it resembles the texture of damp sand that sticks together. You might need to spray it a few more times to get it just right.
- Add a heaping amount of your bath bomb mixture to each side of the mold. I’m using these awesome bath bomb tins {they come in a set of sizes}…I love these!
- Squish both sides together tightly.
- Lightly tap the mold with your spoon. This will usually cause the bath bomb to loosen up from the mold a bit.
- Gently remove the tin.
- Mist the top of your bath bomb with alcohol.
- Let it dry overnight.
Make them in all different sizes, and use your favorite essential oils to create the perfect DIY gifts for all your friends and family!
