Did you know that many store-bought bubble baths and bath bombs contain harsh chemicals, dyes, and synthetic fragrances that have been linked to urinary tract infections and yeast infections? Many are even made with cheap, skin-irritating ingredients from China!
Here’s a fun, safe, and chemical-free alternative! This DIY bath bomb recipe is easy to make, perfect for sensitive skin, and safe for the whole family. Plus, you can turn them into shower steamers for a spa-like aromatherapy experience in the shower!
✅ 2 cups baking soda (try Bulk Barn for an affordable option!)
✅ 1 cup citric acid (find it at Bulk Barn or beer/wine-making suppliers)
✅ 4-10 spritzes witch hazel (available at health food stores—put it in a spray bottle)
✅ 1 tbsp cocoa butter (optional for extra moisture in bath bombs—omit for shower steamers to prevent slipping)
Scent, color, & skincare benefits: Customize your bath bombs with natural additions!
For Soothing & Relaxation:
✔ 1-2 tbsp fir or pine needles – Adds a fresh scent & relieves sore muscles
✔ 1-2 tbsp dried herbs – Skin-soothing benefits
For Natural Coloring & Detoxifying:
✔ 1-2 tbsp cocoa powder – Adds a chocolatey scent & rich brown color
✔ 1-2 tbsp clay (bentonite or kaolin) – Draws out impurities & detoxifies skin
✔ 1-2 tbsp Himalayan pink salt – Detoxifying & mineral-rich, adds texture & color
✔ 1 tsp beetroot powder – Creates a pinkish-red color naturally
For Essential Oil Benefits (2-6 drops max)
✔ Calming & Relaxation: Lavender, Patchouli, Frankincense, Myrrh
✔ Respiratory Support: Peppermint, Balsam Fir, Spruce, Eucalyptus
✔ Immune Boosting: 4 Thieves, DeconChest, Winters Morning
✔ Uplifting & Mood-Boosting: Spearmint, Joyful, Citrus Oils (use sparingly in bath bombs)
Important: Citrus oils (like lemon, grapefruit, or tangerine) can be photosensitizing, so use only 1 drop in bath bombs and mix with other essential oils.
1️⃣ Mix the dry ingredients: Combine baking soda and citric acid in a mixing bowl.
2️⃣ Melt the cocoa butter: Stir in essential oils and allow it to cool until hardened.
3️⃣ Grate the cocoa butter mixture and mix it into the dry ingredients. Add optional ingredients if desired.
4️⃣ Spritz the mixture with witch hazel and mix with your hands until it holds its shape when squeezed. (Don't oversaturate!)
5️⃣ Pack the mixture tightly into molds and gently remove them.
6️⃣ Let them dry overnight before using.
Pro Tip: Adding essential oils to the cocoa butter ensures safe dilution for the skin, preventing them from sitting on top of bathwater and irritating sensitive areas.
Don’t have time for a bath? Turn these bath bombs into shower steamers! Simply omit the cocoa butter (to prevent slipping) and place a steamer in the shower where water will dissolve it slowly. The steam will release the essential oils into the air, creating a spa-like aromatherapy experience.
