Seashell Bath Bombs

Bath bombs are a great way to relax in the tub especially when using one of your favorite essential oils. Bath bombs make great gift ideas. It is also a fun project for the kids!

Seashell Bath Bombs

Here’s what you will need:
SeaShell Bath Bombs Supplies

  • 1/2 Cup Citric Acid
  • 1 Cup Baking Soda
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Olive Oil
  • Witch Hazel (in a spray bottle)
  • Young Living Essential Oil
  • Neon Pink Food Coloring
  • Seashell Silicone Mold

In a large bowl combine the citric acid and baking soda. Stir until well blended.

Add your choice of essential oil. Young Living Essential oils are very concentrated so you will only need about 1 – 3 drops. With other brands, you may need to double or triple this. Stir until incorporated.

Add 3 drops of neon pink food coloring. Stir well. Slowly continue to add a few drops at a time until you reach your desired shade. I used about 6 drops in total. Note: If you add to much food coloring at the beginning, it will cause the bath bombs to fizz.

Seashell Bath Bombs Process

Spritz your bath bomb mixture with witch hazel (a few short spritz is all you need). This helps the bath bombs mixture stick together.

With your hands, grab your mixture and firmly press into your silicone mold. You need to pack the mixture in as tightly as you can. Keep doing this until the entire mold is filled.

Set the mold aside and allow the bath bombs to harden overnight. You can also speed up the process by covering with aluminum foil (it acts as a heating agent).

After 24 hours remove bath bombs from mold by gently pressing the silicone mold from the back side and the bath bombs will pop right out.

Bath Bombs Dry

Keep your bath bombs stored in an airtight container that is completely dry and free from any moisture. When ready to use, plop one into your bath and enjoy the fizz!

    Yay these are so easy! I’m thinking they would be really fun to have in a guest bathroom for visitors to indulge in (not that I wouldn’t use a million all by myself)
