How To Make Bath Bombs | DIY Bath Bomb Recipe 

My daughters have been interested in making these for a while so today we have made them using your instructions & tutorial. I managed to source the citric acid from an independent health food shop (was in the wine making section?!) and we used bicarbonate of soda. I had some rose essence left over from cake making. I used olive oil, but next time I will use almond oil as it isn't as strong smelling. We didn't have moulds so we used a silicone cupcake mould. Patted them down firmly and turned them out like sandcastles on some baking paper on a tray, to dry out. They look great & smell lovely. We are already discussing future designs & fragrances. Thank you for the tutorial. It has provided some entertainment on a wet afternoon in England!

I made these today with my daughter. It worked perfectly. We added orange zest and rose petals and it amped up the scents. This recipe made lovely bath bombs, and adding the water into the oil and food coloring mixture did not make the dry ingredients react before making the molds. It worked perfectly. I’ll be adjusting the added scents with other dried flowers in the future. Thank you for sharing your video.

Here's a trick add the citric acid last after the water is poured in because then you citric acid will not fiz out

No one : Literally no one : Me during quarantine : learning how to make bath bombs

I think I may have been doing this wrong; I used gunpowder as the main ingredient.

You guys need to look through the description box for measurements and ingredients before you call her stupid, or the video stupid.

I was hoping I could make this with things I already have at home lmao. "Add citric acid" I was like okkkk never mind lmao

Very amazing! Thank you for your work :)

this is awesome! these would make such lovely christmas presents!

The recipe and the amounts you need are listed in the information box :)

I made these today ( after a long and interesting search for citric acid) and I have to say, I love them! I didn't have much food colouring, so I used a red soap colouring, which worked just as well. I didn't use as much, because I wanted a lighter colour. It worked really well, the colour was a light marshmallow-pink. Awesome. I can't buy essential oils easily where I live (and shipping is a no-no) so I just used soap flavouring I found in my cupboards, in vanilla. The smell was just as amazing! I was super happy! I used almond oil instead of olive oil, as I find it a bit more moisturising and I didn't have the oilyness from the essential oils. I found that the mixture was a bit dry though, so I added one or two more teaspoons of almond oil and it was perfect. I also couldn't find a mould anywhere in any of the shops and as I said, shipping was too complicated for where I lived so i tried using silicone cupcake moulds. Well, lets just say those FAILED EPICLY. LOL. I dug around in my cupboards and found a smallish bowl and an eggcup. I followed your instructions on removing the mould and they worked perfectly. The mixture was enough for 10 large bombs and 2 smaller ones. Nearer to the end, I started playing around with them by adding sprinkles into the bottom of the mould and into the mixture. They were even more beautiful than the others! Success! I am now looking forward to a future of vanilla-cupcake-marshmallow baths. Thank you so much for your awesome tutorial, it was so helpful. The bath bombs turned out beautifully!

Extra, really extra, very good work

Thank You for the down to earth tutorial. I simply wanted to learn how to put these together and You gave perfect instructions on how to do that.

Depends on the size of the mold, around 4-5

thank you for this step-by-step tutorial and adding all ingredient information in the description!!

tip: instead of getting a mold, you could use an egg poacher or a plastic easter egg

I love this video! i will definitely try this out sometime!

Such a cool video! Now I don't have to completely break my bank at Lush

About to make mine now :D Been excitedly waiting for all my bits to turn up from amazon and ebay, finally there here ! Thanks for the tutorial : )

This is such an amazing and interesting video, I'm used this to prep my ingredients as I am making them tomorrow so thank you for the support

How long do they take to dry? And how should they be stored? Love this video!

I've tried a bunch of different tutorials....THIS was by far the best and easiest to watch. New sub here.

Thank you for an amazingly simple recipe and easy-to-follow instructions.

Absolutely love and its not complicated! Thank you very appreciated!!

Wanted to do this 4 years back.. Bought the ingredients but left inside cupboard and realised it was there today! Oh well. Corn Starch (exp 2017) and Citric acid (exp 2018) had expired.. Any idea if these still be use for making bathbomb now?

Definitely going to try this :) thanks for sharing

Can you do a demo of this in the water please

Thanks for the video, the wife is having fun making them now 👍

Thank you SO much for making this video! I just found out about bath bombs today on RU-vid and as a bath lover, I looked them up and was saddened when I saw they are around $7 for ONE ball! As a college student, I don't have money for that! This is relatively inexpensive and I cannot wait to make tons of these for myself and hopefully as gifts for friends and family :)

I'm definitely trying this out

Your awesome I made one omg I love it Thxs for the directions I will keep making it

Going to be trying to make these today! Have to do them for a college project, I hope this is as easy as the video makes it 🙈

This is such a nice thought, I hope you'll do more.

You are so creative...this is fantastic...thanks for sharing.

You make a wonderful video Carina! The simplest method I have seen.

Would've been cool to see them in action

I must admit I had looked up 113g 225g but it didn't hurt great video

Will it still explode in the bath?

Does it crumble when you touch them?

Mmmm slight problem.... Where do you buy citric acid?

You sound like rebel 😃

I would want to do a red one then scream to scare the hell out of my parents. Jesus xD

Can you add a flavor so the water 'smells'? :)

Omg I love those I made a mint one that was green and it works as well as lush bath bombs xx

Thank you for making a very easy to follow video on this.

My friend liked the idea of bath bombs So he got in the bath And set up a bomb It turns out he did it wrong People thought it was an ISIS attack

thank you so much we dont have this in mexico ( or at least i havent seen a lush store neat me) and thanks to you i can try this things i just need to get a mold.

Hi , love your video it's so clear and easy! Do you have to use Epsom salt or can you use just regular salt? Thank you

So going to try this!

this is so cool 😍 I'm gonna try this at home 😊

Love it so good worked it out and was amazing

I believe those same kinds of molds are available at Walmart (and other stores with a christmas section) during the holidays/whenever people start putting out their Christmas stuff! I've only seen sphere ornaments, though.

Great video Carina! Questions...Is there any problem with using the food coloring? Does it not leave ones skin stained?

Thanks for sharing. Is this normal Corn flour like you make bread etc with?

Thank you this is an easy recipe and ingredients are detailed 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Thank you for the video. Any idea how long it lasts after made?

When making them different colors, can I use fabric dye with having it dye the tub or myself

Amazing!!!! How long do you put them to dry?

I love your editing

Thank you for your video. I've just followed your recipe abs eagerly await the drying out process. Already I can see that mine are already losing the perfect ball shape. I can only assume my mixture is wrong in some way. Based on your experience are you able to advise? TIA x
