Why put your skin’s health at risk when you can actually make safer and cheaper DIY bath bombs?
DIY Bath bomb recipe without citric acid Ingredients
Baking soda
Known as sodium bicarbonate, baking soda is made from soda ash through mining or processing. It is well-known for cleaning and baking uses, but it also has numerous beauty benefits, including serving as a natural deodorant, skin itch reliever, foot soak, and facial scrub.
Cream of tartar
The cream of tartar, a byproduct of wine manufacturing, is also called potassium hydrogen tartrate or tartaric acid. It is often used for baking and cooking, while it can also be utilized as a non-toxic cleaner in the house. Because of its detoxifying properties, the cream of tartar may be used for acne treatment.
Arrowroot powder
Arrowroot powder is a safe alternative to flour that comes from the root of Maranta arundinaceae or commonly known as the arrow plant. It contains around 23% of starch and can be used as a substitute to commercial baby powder, moisturizer, and athlete’s foot treatment.
Sea salt or Pink Himalayan salt
The Pink Himalayan salt is a unique salt that is also called the Himalayan crystal salt, sea salt, or rock salt. It is sourced in Pakistan, in an area around 190 miles from the Himalayas. It has many uses and benefits, and when it comes to the skin, it can reduce skin infections, fight acne, heal wounds and prevent scars, and maintain smooth and clear skin.
Bath bomb mold
A bath bomb mold is needed to achieve the spherical look of lush bath bombs. The mold should be able to sturdily form the bath bombs and ensure that they won’t easily break after molding.
Sunflower oil
Sunflower oil is directly extracted from sunflower seeds. It is often used as an oil for cooking, but it is commonly used for cosmetic purposes as well. It is great for moisturizing, skin nourishment, acne treatment, minimizing of skin aging, and soothing dry skin.
To achieve the right consistency in these homemade bath bombs, you should use solid coconut oil, NOT liquid coconut oil.
Also note that coconut oil is solid at room temperature. If you’re having issues with your DIY bath bombs being too soft, it could be because your house is too warm.
If stored in an airtight container at room temperature, these DIY bath bombs will last for a few months. Consider storing them someplace cool so they don’t soften.
