Peppermint And Orange Bath Bombs

Peppermint & Orange Bath Bombs – Menthol is also known to help ease tension headaches and muscular aches and pains. It has a strong intense smell, so you may wish to reduce the amount of peppermint you use. I love peppermint oil and use it undiluted on my doorsteps to stop vermin. Orange is uplifting and refreshing. This bath bomb is perfect before a night out to uplift your mood and set the tone for your evening.

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
• 5 drops of orange Essential oil

Supplies:

• Large bowl
• Whisk
• Small jar with lid
• 5-10 round bath bomb molds
• Measuring cups
• Measuring spoons

Directions:

1. Mix the dry ingredients first (Epsom salt, baking soda, cornstarch and citric acid), using the whisk. Mix well to ensure there are no clumps.
2. Pour the wet ingredients (grapeseed oil, water, food coloring and essential oils) into a jar, secure the lid and shake well.
3. Very slowly add the liquid mixture to the dry mixture, about a few drops at time, while whisking. If you’re not pouring slowly enough, the mixture will start to fizz and you don’t want that to happen.
4. Once all of the liquid has been poured into the dry mixture, mix very well until the color is consistent.
5. Immediately fill the molds with the mixture, firmly stuffing each side full.
6. Secure both parts of the mold together and let set. I always give it about a day, just to be on the safe side.
7. Carefully release bath bombs from molds and put into an airtight container, or individual cello bags.
