Ingredients

  • 2 cups baking soda
  • 1 cup citric acid
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup dead sea salts
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon polysorbate 80
  • Orange soap colorant
  • 4 tea bags or 4 tablespoons of blood orange tea

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large mixing bowl, add the baking soda, citric acid, dead sea salts and cornstarch. Whisk dry ingredients together.
  2. Add 3 1/2 tablespoons of the blood orange tea. Mix well.
  3. Add the coconut oil.
  4. Add the polysorbate 80. Mix well. You may need to use your hands to break down any lumps and make sure everything is mixed in. The mixture is perfect when it holds together when you press it into your hands and feels like wet sand.
  5. Add 1-2 drops of the orange colorant. Mix well. Continue to add 1 drop of color until you achieve the color you like.
  6. Add a bit of the blood orange tea into one side of the mold. Gently add the bath bomb mixture until the mold is overflowing. Fill the other side of the mold with the mixture and press molds together and grind to remove excess mixture.
  7. Gently tap each side of the mold to release the bombs. Allow to dry a minimum of 24 hours. If your climate is wet or cold, allow an additional 24 hours.
  8. Store in air tight container.

Notes

  • Number of bath bombs made will vary depending on the size of your molds.
