Materials

  • 2 Cups Baking Soda
  • 1 Cup Citric Acid
  • 1 Cup Epsom Salt
  • 1 Cup Cornstarch
  • 2 Tablespoons Green Powder Colorant skin safe
  • 4 Tablespoons Coconut Oil melted
  • 2 Teaspoons Water
  • 3-4 drops your favorite essential oil we used Clove
  • Yellow Candy Sugar Eyes
  • Red Heart Sugar Sprinkles
  • Black Food Marker

Instructions

  • In a large bowl whisk together the baking soda, citric acid, Epsom salt, cornstarch and the green powdered food coloring.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, water and essential oil. Note: You can melt the coconut oil in the microwave for about a minute until it’s fully melted.
  • Now, very slowly add the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients until well combined. Make sure you are stirring at the same time. Keep adding until you get a dry, crumbly sand and should not be a “wet” consistency. You want to be able to grab some of the mixture and close your fist and have it barely stick together. Warning: If mixture gets too wet too fast, it will activate the fizzy part of the bath bomb too soon!
  • Once ready, take the eyeball candies and the small sprinkle heart and place into the bottom of one half of the bath bomb mold or plastic ornament. (I used a small amount of tacky glue to adhere them to the side of the mold and hold it in place).
  • Now, tightly pack the mixture into the one side of the mold and add your plastic red heart.
  • Pack the other side of the mold and then press the two sides together. You may need to play with the mold a little bit so the two halves stick together. If you really want to, you can also tape the two halves together to keep the mold from popping open.
  • Let the bath bomb stay in the mold overnight at least (longer if you live in a more humid climate).
  • Once ready, lightly tap around the mold with a spoon to very carefully open and remove bath bomb. The finished bath bomb will still be somewhat fragile, so be careful!
  • Now, take your black food marker and draw on a face to resemble The Grinch.
  • You’re now done! You can store these for later use, wrap them in some cute wrapping and gift them. Just keep them away from any moisture.

Notes

This will make about 4 bath bombs depending on the size of the mold you use.
