Add them to water, and the citric acid reacts with the sodium bicarbonate to form sodium citrate and carbon dioxide. The sodium citrate stays in your bath water and you won't really notice it, but the carbon dioxide is released in a stream of bubbles that give you that bath bomb fizz. Epsom salts are designed to go in your bath and are lovely additions to your bath bombs.
Then gently ease the ball out and leave to dry undisturbed for at least 30 minutes, and ideally a few hours. This scrub smells amazing and it's so cheap to make! The vodka acts as a preservative, but even so, this scrub won't keep for too long because it does contain avocado which we all know can go quickly! Again, if you'll be using avocado butter, it may last longer.

Including Epsom salts in the mix make the bombs hold on to more water, and they can struggle to harden when there is a lot of moisture in the atmosphere. Make your bath bombs on sunny days, run a dehumidifier, or reduce or omit the Epsom salts when the weather is rainy. Here's what you'll need to make our bath bomb recipe. We love the quality of the bath bomb moulds and the colours included in this kit, which comes with 3 different sized spherical moulds, gloves, colours and instructions.
Ready to use in 24 hours, it’s a lovely gift for your girlfriends. While in the shower, grab a handful of the scrub and either use your hands or a washcloth to massage into the skin. Do this in slow, circular motions as not to rip the skin. Be gentle on more sensitive areas such as chest and stomach, and a little rougher on rough areas such as knees, elbows, and shoulders. In same bowl, whisk together milk and pudding mix until thickened, about 2 minutes. Fold in 1 cup whipped topping; spread pudding mixture over the cream cheese mixture.

With rigid moulds, greasing with a little coconut oil or other body-friendly colourless oil, or silicone spray can help the bombs release once they are dry. True to their name, bath melts are butter-based bath products made to dissolve in warm water and coat your skin in a layer of hydrating oil. If there’s one thing Lush does right, it’s making the most luxurious, skin-nourishing bath oils. Overfill both halves our your bath bomb mould (or repurposed blister packaging!) and press the two halves together firmly. You want to have to compress the mix into the moulds, so make sure both side are overfilled as you push them together.

Lush are certainly the store that made bath bombs such popular gift items in the UK. Nobody knows for sure what exactly their signature scent is, but we added rose geranium essential oils to our bath bombs and they smelt quite similar. You can bring added Lush luxury by including flower petals or glitter in your bath bomb – but please use biodegradable glitter to help out our fishy friends!

These beautiful scalp and hot oil treatments are made to target scalp problems and damaged hair that’s in need of a little extra TLC.

Now you know how bath bombs work, you can start exploring what else bath bombs are made of that can still give you that carbon dioxide producing reaction. You don’t NEED to use citric acid, but for the fizziest bath bomb, it is best if you do. But it is possible to make bath bombs that give you that same fizzy, carbon dioxide releasing reaction using bicarbonate of soda and cream of tartar instead of citric acid.
