How to make Bath Bombs
Step 1
Firstly, carefully weigh out all of your ingredients, ensuring you are wearing gloves.
Step 2
Then, pour your bicarbonate of soda and citric into your bowl and mix well..
Step 3
Next, carefully sprinkle in your SLSA powder, be careful as it will cause a mess! Mix well to ensure it has blended throughout.
Step 4
We are going to make two pink and white bath bombs, you can use any colourant suitable for use in bath bombs. Take out one third of your mixture and add to separate bowl and put to one side.
Step 5
Then in your main mixture, sprinkle in your colours and mix well.
Step 6
Now you need to get your consistency correct. Simply, spray your mix with water and squeeze together in your hand. If you mixture holds together like a snow ball it is ready. If not keep adding gentle sprays of water until it reaches the correct consistency. Then repeat with your white mixture.
Step 7
Next, you can put together your bath bombs. Scoop your mixture into your moulds, alternating your colours and ensuring it is compact. Leave one side slightly higher than the other, then carefully push together to form your bomb.
Step 8
Tap the top and gently remove your mould then leave to one side to set. Repeat to use up your mixture.
Step 9
Make sure you leave your bath bombs to dry for at least 24hrs so they are nice and solid then they are ready to use!
