Supplies:

One of the best parts of bath bombs is their versatility—create endless shapes, colors, scents, and designs. Use candy molds, ice trays, popsicle molds, or heart-shaped conversation molds for perfect results.

Sift together the dry ingredients: cornstarch, citric acid, and Epsom salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the wet ingredients—coconut or almond oil and essential oils—excluding food coloring. Microwave the oil first to liquify it.

Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry, stirring until it reaches a sand-like consistency.
