Additionally, kids love these too! Make bath time a bit more fun and relaxing with these DIY calming bath bombs, scented with lavender essential oil.

Save yourself some time and money and opt to create your own DIY bath bombs instead. Once you make them once, you’ll be inclined to keeping making homemade bath bombs over and over again! Add them to your toolkit of calm down tools at home.

What you need to make homemade bath bombs

1/2 cup baking soda

1/2 cup citric acid

1/4 cup melted coconut oil

1/4 cup cornstarch

Therapeutic grade essential oil (peppermint or lavender scented) 

Bath soap colorant: pink, teal and yellow

Plastic Easter egg

How to make your own DIY Easter Bath Bombs

Mix together the baking soda, citric, acid and cornstarch.

Mix in a few drops of essential oil to your melted coconut oil.

 

Slow mix in a small amount of your coconut oil at a time so the mixture doesn’t fizz.

Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup and divide the bath bomb mixture into 3 bowls. 

Add a few drops of each color colorant to each bowl, making each bowl a different color.

 

Wear plastic gloves and mix each bowl with your finger tips.

Open the eggs face and start filling with a little of each color.

Press the eggs together and carefully remove the egg bath bomb.

Set aside to dry overnight.

* Do not eat even though they are colorful and smelly.

Which essential oils are best for bath bombs? 

While this can vary depending on your senses and what you enjoy, lavender and peppermint essential oils are always a great choice. But in all reality, figure out what ones you prefer, read up on them and find out if they are good for topical use on your skin. Then, once you find that winning combination, you’re good to go to create and use them for all your bath bomb recipes! 

Why do you need citric acid in bath bombs? 

Citric acid is what gives your bath bombs the fizz! And there’s nothing like sitting in a tub and letting those bath bombs hydrate and moisturize your skin!

If you’ve never taken the time to create your own bath bombs, these Easter Egg Bath Bombs are perfect for beginners! Who says that Easter fun has to only be for kids? Take and make your own Easter basket fun and gift yourself some homemade skincare essentials!
