Shamrock Bath Bomb Tutorial

I grew up in a family where a good, hot bath cured just about everything. As an adult, a hot bath and a good book is my happy place after a long day. It helps me relax before bed and is my reward for accomplishing a lot that day.

Even better? When I add a favorite bath bomb. Here is the thing though. My skin is sensitive and I get nervous trying those cute bath bombs I see everywhere because I don’t know what ingredients were used.

Today I’m sharing you my bath bomb recipe that…

-doesn’t itch my skin

-doesn’t dye my skin

-smells amazing

-and makes my skin feel SUPER SOFT

…I’ve used this many times and it’s my go-to for bath time and makes great gifts for friends!

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine salt, citric acid, corn starch, and baking soda with whisk.
2. In a seperate bowl, combine coconut oil (melt to liquid form), about 5-8 drops of peppermint essential oil, about 5 drops of green food coloring.
3. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. It will be sand-like and a little lumpy. I used a few squirts of water in a spray bottle to help mold better.
4. Form shamrocks into the mold.
5. Let dry for 2 hours.
