    Sea Breeze Bath Bombs

    Source of Recipe

    From "Gifts in Jars" by Natalie Wise

    Recipe Introduction

    "These light blue bath bombs are sure to be savored by the lucky recipient. They fizz and settle into a delightfully restorative bath soak, filled with the fragrance of a sea breeze. Vetiver and lemon essential oils are known for being uplifting, and together their sweet fragrance is intoxicating. They are also both excellent for detoxifying. Depending on the size of your container, this recipe makes approximately 4 to 6 bath bombs."

    List of Ingredients

    ◦  Jar of choice
    ◦  ½ cup Epsom salts
    ◦  1 cup baking soda
    ◦  ½ cup citric acid
    ◦  ½ cup cornstarch
    ◦  ¾ to 1 teaspoon water
    ◦  12 drops vetiver essential oil
    ◦  12 drops lemon essential oil
    ◦  A small dot of gel blue food coloring (or a few drops of liquid)
    ◦  Mold of choice (or muffin tin with cupcake liners)

    Recipe

    Place the Epsom salts in a food processor and blend until fine-grained. Place in a large bowl. Add the baking soda, citric acid, and cornstarch and mix well.

    In another small bowl, mix together the water, essential oils, and food coloring. Add to the dry ingredients and mix well. The mixture will feel like sand, but if you press it together it should hold.

    Add water, a tiny amount at a time, until it sticks together when pressed firmly. Pack into both halves of your mold, then press the mold together to seal. You can also firmly pack into a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Let dry overnight, then unmold and package in jars.


    Makes approximately four 5-ounce bath bombs
