Bath Bombs with Coconut Oil

DIY Bath Bombs

Ingredients:

• 8 ounces Baking Soda
• 4 ounces Citric Acid 
• 1/2 cup Epsom Salt
• 4 ounces Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons of Carrington Farms Organic Coconut Oil
• 2 teaspoons witch hazel (or water) plus a little more if needed
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 30 drops of your favorite essential oil (we used lavender and peppermint) 

Directions:

1. Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl and mix well until combined.
2. In a small bowl, combine the Carrington Farms Organic Coconut Oil, witch hazel and vanilla extract and stir well. Add essential oils if using.
3. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients a few drops at a time. Mix well with hands (wear gloves if you have sensitive skin). Add powdered dried herbs if using.
4. Mixture should hold together when squeezed without crumbling. You may need to add slightly more witch hazel if it hasn’t achieved this consistency yet. I recommend using a spray bottle with additional liquid to evenly add.
5. Quickly push mixture into molds. Press in firmly and leave at least 24 hours (48 is better) or until hardened. It will expand some and this is normal. You can push it down into the mold several times while it is drying to keep it from expanding to much. Using metal molds will create a stronger and more effective final bath bomb.
6. When dry, remove and store in air tight container or bag. Use within 2 weeks.
