Ingredients

• Small Cubes Mold and Package (10 molds)
• 2 cup Baking Soda
• 1 cup Citric Acid
• Fine Iridescent Glitter
• 5 mL Key Lime Tart Fragrance Oil
• Key West Lime La Bomb Colorant
• Witch Hazel in Spray Bottle
• Dropper

Directions

• In a bowl, mix together 1 cup of sodium bicarbonate and ½ 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. =)
• Begin adding drops of the Key West Lime La Bomb Colorant. I used about 6-8 drops of the colorant, but feel free to add more if you’d like a more saturated color. Use your hands to mix the color in with the dry ingredients.
• Add the Key Lime Tart Fragrance Oil. Use your hands to completely mix in the fragrance, making sure there are no clumps of fragrance in the mixture.
• Add the Fine Iridescent Glitter and mix in.
• Check the moisture level of your fizzies. When squeezed with your hand, the mixture should hold its shape. If not, add spritzes of witch hazel, mixing between every couple sprays, until it has a texture similar to wet sand.
• Once you have the correct texture, fill each mold with bath bomb mixture. Press the mixture firmly into the mold to firmly pack it in. You can also only fill in the cube cavities if you don’t want the rough edges once the cubes are broken apart.
• Allow the bath bomb mixture to harden in mold with the lid off overnight. Once they have dried, press the back of the mold to remove them. They will naturally break apart while unmolding, but if not, use your hands to break them apart. They can be stored in the mold, or placed in a bail jar until youre ready to use.
