To make your first batch of bath bombs to sell, you’ll need:
8 ounces of baking soda
4 ounces of citric acid
2 ounces of cornstarch
4 ounces of mineral salts
2 tablespoons of essential or fragrance oil
2.5 tablespoons of light vegetable oil (like Sweet Almond oil or Olive oil)
1 to 2 drops of food coloring
Molds to shape the bath bombs — you can buy these at a craft store or online
You can make bath bombs in five easy steps:
Place the dry ingredients in a bowl and then whisk them together. By the time you finish, the mixture should be relatively smooth.
Then, put all of the wet ingredients in a jar and shake it.
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Use your whisk when you add the wet ingredients into the bowl. Slow down if the mixture starts to foam.
Pack the mixture into the molds immediately. You need to act quickly once everything is mixed together.
Leave the mixture in the molds for a few seconds to several minutes, and take them out. Now your bath bombs are ready to go.
If you want variety in the bath bombs you sell online, you can change the color of the bath bombs by changing up your food coloring. If you’re feeling creative, there are lots of helpful tutorials on YouTube and craft blogs that demonstrate how to make trendy designs or novel patterns. You can also try different types of molds if you want to include some fun shapes, which are especially popular among kids. Adding elements of aromatherapy is also a great option to consider, since many consumers will pay extra for bath bombs that have unique or therapeutic scents.
