Green Apple Bath Bomb These apple DIY bath bombs are so cute that it's a little unfair. Plus, the green apple scent is sweet yet refreshing, and the leaves and stem make for an adorable detail.
Ingredients:
8 ounces baking soda
4 ounces citric acid
4 ounces corn starch
4 ounces Epsom salts
2 tsp. water
2 tsp. green apple essential oil for scent and aromatherapy
2 tsp. apricot oil
Directions:
1. Mix all dry ingredients EXCEPT citric acid in a large mixing bowl (salt, baking soda, cornstarch).
2. In a separate small bowl, mix water, essential oil, apricot oil and food coloring.
3. Combine the wet and dry mixture, which should resemble the texture of dry/moist sand. Almost like a flour consistency.
4. Mix until the color is even. It takes a while and it's not just stirring, but rather pushing down with a spatula on the chunks of wet mixture. Adding the food coloring helps you figure out if it's well mixed. An even color means a good mix. When you squeeze some in your fist, it should hold together.
5. Add citric acid and mix again (do NOT use your hands at this point as the pure citric acid is abrasive) and do not add water after you mix in the citric acid.
6. Pack tightly into the mold and wait 15 minutes. Then, remove one side of the ball and wait 24 hours for it to set. Drying fully is imperative. Add the sticks and leaves in after they dry completely. Enjoy!
