I see a lot of people on line making and using bath bombs. What's in them? Are they like a bubble bath?

    • They are easy enough to DIY: 1 cup baking soda
    • 1/2 cup citric acid
    • 1/2 cup Epsom salts
    • 1 tsp. water
    • 2 tsp. essential oil
    • 3 tsp. oil (olive oil)
    • food coloring (any color you want)
    • bowl
    • whisk
    • jar

    Somethign to shape them in.

    They are more like a bath relaxer versus a bubble bath. Epsom salt is good for your skin and it is one of the main ingredients.

    Love them- my sister makes them all the time. Above someone mentioned food color-maybe a soft blue would be okay but she used red in a few batches and the bath water looked like......well......bloody water. Food color is just an option. I have made them with her and they are very simple to make and they make nice gifts.Oh and in place of the citric acid she has used country time lemonade. Stay Calm and Relax On.

    Most are made of epsom salt and fragrance...so relaxing and great for your skin.
