Ingredients
- 45g infused coconut oil, melted
- 240g baking soda
- 120g citric acid
- 120g cornstarch
- 60g Epsom salt
- Essential oils of choice (lavender, eucalyptus)
- Bath bomb molds
- Optional: food coloring, dried flower petals
How to Make It
- 1Mix baking soda, citric acid, cornstarch, and Epsom salt in a large bowl.
- 2In a separate bowl, combine melted infused coconut oil with essential oils and food coloring.
- 3Slowly drizzle wet mixture into dry, whisking constantly. It should hold together when squeezed.
- 4Pack tightly into bath bomb molds. Press firmly.
- 5Let dry for 24 hours in a cool, dry place.
- 6Carefully remove from molds. Store in airtight container away from moisture.
Pro Tips
- ★Add wet ingredients very slowly — if the citric acid activates (fizzing), you've added too fast.
- ★Humidity is the enemy — make these on a dry day and store in a dry place.
- ★Individually wrap in plastic wrap for gift-giving or long-term storage.
Serving Ideas
Drop one bomb into a warm bath and soak for 20-30 minutes. The longer you soak, the more absorption. Rinse off afterward or let the oil moisturize your skin.

Slower but effective
Switch coconut_oil to mct_oil
Flavor: More neutral and less coconut-forward.
Potency handling: Dose handling is similar, but liquid MCT is easier to portion precisely.
Texture: Thinner and better for droppers, capsules, and drinks than for gummies or baking.
Use when you want a pourable oil rather than a semi-solid carrier.
