Steps To Make Bath Bombs

1. Mix together the bicarbonate of soda, citric acid, cornflour, and Epsom salt in a bowl, whisking until they're well combined.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the base oil, essential oil, and food coloring until the colour is fully incorporated into the oil.
3. Slowly pour the oil mixture into the dry ingredients, a little at a time, whisking well after each addition. Once all the oil is added, quickly whisk in a few drops of water (it will fizz). The mixture should hold its shape when pressed together in your hand, but not be too wet.
4. If you're using peel or flower petals for decoration, place them at the bottom of your mold. Then, fill the mold with the mixture, pressing it down firmly and smoothing the top with a teaspoon.
5. Let the bath bomb dry in the mold for 2-4 hours, then gently take it out. It's now ready to use - just drop it into your bath and enjoy the fizz!
