Why Lavender?

Lavender is known for its calming and soothing properties, both for the mind and the skin.

It’s naturally anti-inflammatory, helps ease muscle tension, and promotes relaxation. When added to a warm bath, it creates a gentle, spa-like experience that’s perfect for winding down after a long day.

How to Make Lavender Bath Bombs

Here is my simple recipe on how to make lavender bath bombs! This made 1 big bath bomb and 1 medium bath bomb for me, if you use the same mold I did:

Ingredients

¼ cup corn starch
½ cup baking soda
¼ cup Epsom salt
¼ cup citric acid
4 teaspoons lavender infused oil
10 drops lavender essential oil
Purple mica powder
Bath bomb molds

Instructions

Combine the corn starch, baking soda, and Epsom salt together. Then set aside the dry ingredients.

Add in the essential oil drops into the lavender infused oil and mix thoroughly.

Slowly add the infused oil with the dry ingredients. Keep mixing until the mixture can clump together like moon sand. If it doesn’t, you can try adding a teaspoon of infused oil at a time.

When the mixture feels ready, slowly add in the citric acid.

Then add in the mica powder. I used about 1 teaspoon to get my color.

Now add to the bath bomb molds and compact it tightly together. You want the mold to be overflowing so it will stick together.

Push the two molds together and twist until the two metals touch each other.

Slowly take off one bath bomb mold. Then, repeat for the other side.

Set down on something and leave them alone to dry for at least 24 hours or until they are hard to the touch. If they still are crumbly, let them sit longer.

Tips for Success

You can also use lavender flowers inside the bath bombs if you want as well, but not necessary.
Keep them in a cool, dry place to prevent them from fizzing early on.

How to Use Lavender Bath Bombs

Simply drop one into a warm bath and let it fizz away, releasing the soothing scent of lavender and nourishing your skin with coconut oil.
