Bath bomb ingredients (for 3 small bath bombs):

• Baking Soda - 100 gr
• Maizena – 50 gr
• Citric Acid – 50 gr
• Your choice of oil (Sesame, almond, avocado, cocoa butter, shea butter, …) – 1 table spoon
• Your choice of essential oil – 15 to 20 drops
• Witch Hazel in a spray bottle – About 30 sprays
• Shaped molds
• Optional : powder milk or sugar. Some people confirmed  adding powder milk or sugar makes the bath bombs more solid.
• Optional : dried flowers or colorant.
  

How to make bath bombs:

• In a bowl, blend baking soda, maizena and citric acid until there are no lumps left.
• Add the oil and essential oils. Blend well until all oil is evenly distributed.
• Then, this is the most difficult part : lightly spritz the witch hazel onto the batch, while stirring with the other hand. The best is to add 2 sprays at a time until the powder gets slightly wet. You can stop when your batch sticks together when squished (like sand castles).
  If the mix is too wet, the balls are going to « grow » and if they are too dry, the bombs will be too grainy.

• Fill the moulds with the mixture, packing it in firmly several times. Let them air dry for at least 24 hours. Tap them out and store in a dry place.
