You're the Bomb - my DIY Bath Bomb Recipe

I've been asked for this recipe SO many times! I am sharing with you the recipe that I have used and has been tried and true for me. They leave your skin feeling silky smooth and don't stain your tub!  Please keep in mind that depending on where you live, you may need to alter the ingredients to have less liquid. For example, if you live in a more humid climate, you may need to use less liquid and leave it to dry longer, possibly even with a dehumidifier, otherwise, they may activate if you wrap them and they're not completely dry.

1 batch makes about 4 bath bombs depending on the size of the mold. 

Dry Ingredients:
8 oz baking soda
4 oz citric acid
4 oz corn starch
4 oz epsom salt
Wet Ingredients: 
2 Tbsp jojoba oil 
2 tsp distilled water
2 tsp essential oils (or fragrance oils) of choice (I sometimes use less if it is a stronger smelling essential oil) 

1) Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl (NOT plastic)
2) Mix wet ingredients in a small bowl (NOT plastic)
3) Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and MIX MIX MIX (I like to use my hands, use gloves!)
4) Pack bath bomb mold tightly (I like to use the metal mold found here, as the plastic ones didn't work well for me. Use what works for you!) then gently take it out of the mold and lay it on a padded surface to dry for 24 hours - make sure it is dry before packaging!
