Here is the recipe for this bunny shaped pink bath bomb.
DIY Bunny Shaped Pink Bath Bomb With Essential Oils
Materials
- Dry Ingredients:
- 1 pound baking soda
- ½ pound citric acid, fine grain
- ½ pound Epsom salt, fine grain
- .5 ounce kaolin clay
- 1 ounce Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate (SLSA)
- ¼ to ½ teaspoon micas – in your preferred color
- Wet Ingredients:
- 1 ounce sweet almond oil
- 1/2 ounce lavender essential oil
- 1/2 ounce magnolia essential oil
- .5 ounce Poly 80 (for micas)
- ¼ to 1 ounce Isopropyl alcohol
Instructions
- Measure out the dry ingredients in a container.
- Stir the dry ingredients to combine them.
- Measure the essential oil, poly 80 and sweet almond oil, one at a time and put them in a glass container.
- Stir the liquids to combine them.
- Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring the mixture as you pour.
- Once the wet and dry ingredients are combined add the mica powderuntil you are satisfied with the color of the bath bomb mixture.
- Then add the alcohol to the mixture ¼ ounce at a time.
- Stir the alcohol into the mix after each addition and continue adding more alcohol until the mixture looks like wet sand.
- Once the mixture looks like wet sand, take a handful of the bath bomb mix and squeeze it together to make a ball shape.
- Hold the ball above the bowl and drop the ball into the bowl. If the ball stays together, the mixture is ready to press into the molds and if not, add a little bit more alcohol until the mixture holds together when it is dropped.
- Once the bath bomb mixture is ready, press it into the mold making sure to use enough bath bomb mixture to fill the mold, but do not overfill it.*
- If you are using a flat shape, just press it in. If you are using a rounded shape, be sure to add a little extra to the center of the mold so when you press the mold together both sides will adhere to one another.
- Allow the bath bombs to dry overnight in the mold, then remove one side of the mold if you are using a two sided mold, but leave the other side of the bath bomb in the mold. If you are using a one sided mold, just leave the bath bomb in the mold.
- Set the mold with the bath bomb in it aside and let it dry for two to three days, then remove it from the mold.
- Your bath bomb is now ready to use or if you are not ready to use it, wrap it in plastic wrap and store it away from moisture and sunlight.
