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:
- 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 oils) into a jar, secure the lid and shake well.
- 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.
- 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.
