Why Use Shea Butter for Bath Bombs?

Shea butter, a fat extracted from the nuts of the African shea tree, stands out in bath bomb recipes for its exceptional moisturizing qualities.

Unlike many other oils that can be used, it’s not merely a filler ingredient; it has a unique set of properties that make it especially beneficial for skin care.

Rich in vitamins A and E, as well as essential fatty acids, its composition is highly nourishing for the skin.

This makes shea butter an ideal choice for bath bombs, contributing to a luxurious and hydrating bath time escape. T

he inclusion of shea butter can transform an ordinary soak into a spa-like experience, leaving skin feeling soft, pampered, and rejuvenated.

Benefits of Shea Butter Bath Bombs

Bathing with shea butter-infused bath bombs offers a ton of benefits, including:

• Moisturizing for Skin: Rich in vitamins and fatty acids, shea butter deeply hydrates skin during a soak, leaving it feeling supple and soft.
  
• Helps with Skin Elasticity: The natural properties of shea butter boost skin elasticity, fostering a sense of rejuvenation with each bath.
  
• Calming and Relaxing: Essential oils blend with shea butter’s nourishing texture to aid in relaxation and provide such a calming experience. It’s hard for me to bathe without a shea butter bath bomb!
  
• Reduce Dry Skin: Shea butter forms a protective barrier that helps to minimize dryness, making it a perfect addition to any bath during harsh weather conditions.

DIY Shea Butter Bath Bomb Recipe

Here is how to make bath bombs with shea butter! This is my favorite DIY moisturizing bath bomb recipe I make with my little ones.

This bath bomb with shea butter recipe makes about 16 if you use the same mold I did.

Supplies

• 3/4 cup baking soda
• 1/4 cup citric acid
• 1/4 cup shea butter
• 1/4 cup cocoa butter
• 15 to 20 drops flower essential oil
• ¼ cup of mixed dried flowers
• Mini cupcake pan
• Mini cupcake liners 

Directions

Line a mini cupcake tin with mini cupcake liners.

Add the baking soda and citric acid to a small bowl and stir well, until completely combined.

Add the shea butter and cocoa butter to the measuring cup, and heat on high in 30 second intervals, stirring between each heat session, until fully melted.

Add the essential oils to the butter mixture, and stir.

Slowly pour the butter mixture into the dry mixture, stirring the entire time. If needed, heat for an additional 30 or 60 seconds if the mixture starts to thicken too much to pour.

Once it is all mixed together, stir in most of the dried flowers, reserving just a small amount to sprinkle on the top.

Pour the mixture into the cupcake tins, filling each cavity about ½ – ¾ of the way full. Tap the pan on the table or surface you’re using, to help smooth out the top and make them flatter.

Sprinkle a pinch of dried flowers over the top.

Refrigerate for about 2 hours. Remove from the pan and store in an airtight container.

Notes

• You don’t have to use flowers in your bath bomb, only if you want to.
• Any essential oils work, use your favorite blend!
