Copycat Lush Bath Bombs
Description
These bath bombs are made by mixing dry ingredients like baking soda, cornstarch, sea salt, and cream of tartar with wet ingredients including warmed coconut oil, scented oil, and water. Food colorings can be added to customize the appearance. After thorough mixing, the dampened mixture is packed tightly into molds and left to dry for at least 24 hours to harden.
The resulting bath bombs fizz softly when added to a warm bath, dispersing fragrance and minerals from the sea salt for a soothing bathing experience. Various molds allow creative shapes and sizes. This recipe replicates the texture and presentation of the popular Lush brand bath bombs at home.
Use a lightly scented oil or food-safe fragrance for best results. Ensure the coconut oil is warm and runny to incorporate easily into the dry mix. Dry the bombs on racks or cookie sheets in a dry environment to prevent premature fizzing. Once dry, store them in an airtight container until use.
