1/3 part citric acid
2/3 parts baking soda
Witch Haze
BLEND BLEND BLEND BLEND the citric acid and baking soda – this step is super important – if you don’t blend well, you end up with a grainy bomb. Use a mixer on larger batches.
Once you’ve blended really well, add your colorant. Dry pigments work best – don’t add too much though – the color shows up once you add the witch hazel.
Add your fragrance oils to your personal nose preference.
Now, this is the difficult part. Spritz (with a squirt bottle) the witch hazel onto your batch while stirring with the other hand. When your batch sticks together when squished, you need to start putting it in molds – time is of the essence. If you wait too long, the mixture will get hard. If you spritz too much, the mixture will be too wet and “grow� (start the fizzing reaction) on you.
Put the bombs in molds – wait a few minutes and tap them out. Let them air dry for 3 or 4 hours and voila! Wonderful, hard bath bombs. The harder you pack the bath bombs, the more dense, heavy, and durable bomb you will get.
