Aromatherapy Bath Bomb Tutorial

By Kim Layton 5 Comments

Homemade Bath Bombs are super easy to make!  There’s nothing like creating your own little aromatherapy spa treatment right at home…for pennies!  When I see all the fabulous bath bombs at Lush I can’t help but think of how I can make a batch of them myself.  If you are interested in the benefits of aromatherapy for relaxation you will love, love, love these!

I like knowing exactly what’s in my bath bombs…doTERRA Essential Oils are my favorite!  I believe I’ve come up with the perfect recipe to turn you into a DIY bath bomb expert in no time flat!

You deserve to enjoy a relaxing bath without spending a ton on a bath bomb…trust me, you won’t know the difference between these and the expensive ones at the mall.

Personalize them with your favorite doTerra essential oils.   I made these using Lavender for a relaxing bath {and it smells amazing}!  It will also do wonders for your skin while you’re soaking away your cares of the day.

Supplies

Supplies:

Baking Soda – 1 cup

Citric Acid – 1/2 cup

Corn Starch – 1/2 cup

Almond Oil – 2 tsp.

Essential Oils – 12 drops  of Lavender doTERRA Oil

Food Coloring – 4-6 drops

Bath Bomb Making Molds Set of 4

mixing

  • Add Almond Oil and your essential oils to a small container and mix well.
  • Add all the dry ingredients to a large bowl and mix well.
  • Slowly add the oils to your dry ingredients mixing as you go.  Take your time because you don’t want it lumpy.
  • Add the food coloring while mixing.

mixed

  • Spray your mixture 5-10 times while mixing until it resembles the texture of damp sand that sticks together.  You might need to spray it a few more times to get it just right.

squish

  • Add a heaping amount of your bath bomb mixture to each side of the mold.  I’m using these awesome bath bomb tins {they come in a set of sizes}…I love these! 

squish it

  • Squish both sides together tightly.

  • Lightly tap the mold with your spoon.  This will usually cause the bath bomb to loosen up from the mold a bit.
  • Gently remove the tin.
  • Mist the top of your bath bomb with alcohol.
  • Let it dry overnight.

    Nice tutorial. Thank you. When you say “spray 5-10 times…” is that with the alcohol?
