Minty Green Peppermint Bath Bombs

Do you know what season it is? Cold season! It’s time for everyone to be locked inside with each other’s germs and try not to pass them around. But if you do get a cold or have a stuffy nose I have a little treat for you. Peppermint bath bombs! These minty green bath bombs will deliver a bath that will not only help relieve your stuffy nose but can help you relax a little too.

Here’s what you’ll need –

Ingredients:
● 2 oz Epsom salt
● 4 oz baking soda
● 2 oz corn starch
● 2 oz citric acid
● 1 tbsp grapeseed oil
● ½ tbsp water
● 1 drop red food coloring
● 5 drops Peppermint essential oil

Supplies:
● Large bowl
● Whisk
● Small jar with lid
● 5-10 round molds
● Measuring cups
● Measuring spoons


I’ve included a few links to help purchase some of those harder to find items. I know, I personally rather shop online and have it delivered to my door than run around town trying to find it all.

Now it’s time to get to work! Here’s what you’ll have to do –

Mix the dry ingredients first (Epsom salt, baking soda, cornstarch, and citric acid), using the whisk. Mix well to ensure there are no clumps.

Pour the wet ingredients (grapeseed oil, water, food coloring, and essential oil) into a jar, secure the lid and shake well.

Very slowly add the liquid mixture to the dry mixture, about a few drops at a time, while whisking. If you’re not pouring slowly enough, the mixture will start to fizz and you don’t want that to happen.

Once all of the liquid has been poured into the dry mixture, mix very well until the color is consistent.

Immediately fill the molds with the mixture, firmly stuffing each side full.

Secure both parts of the mold together and let set. I always give it about a day, just to be on the safe side.

Carefully release bath bombs from molds and put into an airtight container, or individual cello bags.

This does take a little practice to get it right. If you add the liquid too quickly it’ll start to react. If you don’t press the mold together tight enough it’ll fall apart. So don’t be too hard on yourself if it doesn’t turn out the way you envision your first time through. Just give it another go!
