Ingredients

• 5-6 Bath Bomb Mold & Packages
• 1½ cups Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda)
• ¾ cups Citric Acid
• 4 mL Flower Child Fragrance Oil
• 1 mL Grapefruit Bellini Fragrance Oil
• 9 mL Avocado Oil
• Buttercup Mica
• Magenta Mica
• Cellini Blue Mica
• 99% Isopropyl Alcohol
• Witch Hazel in 8 oz. Spray Bottle
• Droppers

Directions

• In a bowl, measure out 1½ cups of sodium bicarbonate and ¾ cup of citric acid. If there are any clumps in the mixture, you can push the powder through a sifter or break up the clumps with your fingers. Citric acid has a tendency to take off nail polish, so wear gloves to protect your manicure. =)
• Add the Grapefruit Bellini and Flower Child Fragrance Oils. Add the avocado oil and use your hands to mix the oils into the powder.
• Once the oils and dry ingredients are fully incorporated, check the moisture of your fizzies. When squeezed with your hand, the mixture should hold its shape. Add spritzes of witch hazel into each container, mixing between every couple sprays, until each container has a texture similar to wet sand.
• Fill two halves of the bath bomb molds, gently pressing the mixture in each to make sure they hold their shape. Mound a little extra powder in the center of one half of the mold. Match the eyelets of each side up, and press together. To avoid any imperfections on your bath bomb, make sure to direct pressure to the edges of the mold rather than the center. Continue until all the mixture is used up. Allow the fizzies to stay in the mold to dry and harden overnight.
• Once the fizzies have hardened, remove the top half of the mold. In small separate containers, mix 1 tablespoon 99% isopropyl alcohol with 1 teaspoon of Cellini Blue Mica, Buttercup Mica and Magenta Mica to create a “mica paint” of the three colors. Using a fine pointed paint brush, draw a small circle with the yellow paint directly in the center. Then paint large stripes of the yellow, blue and red down the sides of the bath bomb.
• I chose to only paint one half of the bath bomb to make them easier to handle. But if you’d like, you could certainly paint the whole thing! Just keep in mind that doing so also adds more mica to the tub, so you may want to test one to make sure it doesn’t color your water too much. =)
• Once you’re done painting, allow the bath bombs to dry with the top half of the mold off for about 15-20 minutes. Then place the mold and package back on bath fizzies until you’re ready to use. Because these bath bombs contain some oil, they may make your bath tub a little slippery, so be careful when exiting the tub. Enjoy!
