Bath Bombs / Bath
2 tbs. citric acid (you can get this at a pharmacy)
2 tbs. cornstarch
1/4 cup baking soda
3 tbs. coconut oil (or any other emollient oil like almond,
avocado or
apricot kernel oil)
1/4 tsp. fragrance oil
3-6 drops of food coloring (if desired)
Paper candy cups
Place all of the dry ingredients (first 3) into a bowl and
mix well. Place
coconut oil into a small glass bowl and add fragrance and
food coloring.
Slowly add oil mixture into dry ingredients and mix well.
Scoop up small
amounts of the mixture and shape into 1" balls. Let the
balls rest on a
sheet of waxed paper for about 2 to 3 hours, then place each
ball into a

closed, air-tight container. To use, drop 1 to 3 bombs into
