Bath bombs have become very popular lately. They help to relax and moisturize the skin. The main ingredients of bombs are citric acid and baking soda, so you can make them yourself at home.
It is necessary
- 5 tbsp. l. soda
- 3 tbsp. l. citric acid
- 1 tbsp. l. sea salt
- 2 tbsp. l. base oil to choose from (peach, almond, coconut, apricot, grape seed, etc.)
- 10 drops of any essential oil of your choice
- You will also need a coffee grinder, sieve, rubber gloves, bomb molds.
Instructions
Step 1
Grind sea salt and citric acid in a coffee grinder. Sift the baking soda through a sieve so that no lumps remain in it.
Step 2
Put on gloves. In a small bowl, combine baking soda, salt, and citric acid. Add base oil and essential oil. Mix everything thoroughly. Check the readiness of the mixture by squeezing it in your hand. It should resemble wet sand - it should mold well and keep its shape.
Step 3
Lack of moisture can be replenished by adding a few drops of water. This will cause the mixture to sizzle. Silence this reaction immediately by kneading the mass thoroughly.
Step 4
Form the bombs using the molds, compacting the mass tightly. You can purchase special forms for bombs, as well as use the materials at hand - a box from "Kinder Surprise" or a children's sandbox mold.
Step 5
Leave the mass in the mold for 12 hours in a dry place, then carefully remove the bomb and dry it for another day. It is recommended to store pops in a plastic bag in a dry place.
