Ingredients
1 1/2cups baking soda
1cupcitric acid
1/2cupcoconut oil
bath bomb molds
mica powder in your choice color
20dropsessential oils for scent
tiny toys
Instructions
Add coconut oil and essential oils and work together, using your hands. PRO TIP: Wear gloves for this part! Mix until it is the consistency of wet sand and starts to stick together.
Use half of the mold and scoop up a heaping scoop of the mixture. Repeat with the other half of the mold. Don't pack them in, just let them be heaping. Add your tiny toy to the top of one of the halves, then, press the two halves together and give them a gentle twist to lock them together. Brush away any excess mixture that came out the sides.
Let it sit for a few minutes and firm up. Then carefully open up the mold and see if your bath bomb is formed enough to remove it from the mold.If needed, you can add extra dry ingredients or coconut oil depending on if your mixture is too dry or too wet. This will vary depending on your local climate.
Remove onto a tray and allow to sit undisturbed for 24 hours or until dry and firm. Store for up to 6 mos.
