Since we have over 100+ Oil and counting, here are some

Recipes to use them in!
Enjoy!

Fizzy Milk Bath Bombs
1 c. baking soda
1/2 c. citric acid
1/2 c. corn starch
1/3 c. epsom salts (finely ground)
1/4 c. powdered milk (buttermilk will clump so don't use it)
2T olive oil (tip: infuse calendula petals for an extra therapeutic bath)
2tsp melted cocoa butter
1tsp fragrance or essential oil
3-7tsp water/witch hazel blend (1:1). TIP: put in a spray bottle for even dispersion
Mix all dry ingredients together well, drizzle the olive oil and melted cocoa butter and fragrance/essential oil over the dry mix, mix together with hands, and then use witch hazel/water blend to get the product to the right consistency to shove into your favorite molds.

Moisture Rich Fizzy
Dry ingredients:

1 cup Baking soda
1/2 cup Corn Starch
1/4 cup Epsom Salt
1/2 cup Citric Acid
Wet ingredients:

2-3/4 tablespoons Almond oil
3/4 tablespoon Water
1/4 teaspoon Borax (optional)
1-1/2 teaspoon fragrance oil or essential oil
Colorant
Mix all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and then in a separate dish or cup mix wet ingredients and then combine the two.I uuse a wire wisk....the mix doesnt really even look wet but it compacts nicely into molds and after drying through the night they are rock hard and fizz for almost 2 minutes.

Make sure to wisk fast when adding wet ingredients to prevent fizzing whisk for a good minute and then press mix into your mold.

Basic Bath Bomb Recipe:
1/3 part citric acid

2/3 parts baking soda

Witch Hazel

 BLEND BLEND BLEND BLEND the citric acid and baking soda – this step is super important – if you don’t blend well, you end up with a grainy bomb. We actually use a mixer on our larger batches.
 


 Once you’ve blended really well, add your colorant. Dry pigments work best – don’t add too much though – the color shows up once you add the witch hazel.
 
 Add your fragrance oils to your personal nose preference.
 
 Now, this is the difficult part. Spritz (with a squirt bottle) the witch hazel onto your batch while stirring with the other hand. When your batch sticks together when squished, you need to start putting it in molds – time is of the essence. If you wait too long, the mixture will get hard. If you spritz too much, the mixture will be too wet and “grow” (start the fizzing reaction) on you.
 
 Put the bombs in molds – wait a few minutes and tap them out. Let them air dry for 3 or 4 hours and voila! Wonderful, hard bath bombs. The harder you pack the bath bombs, the more dense, heavy, and durable bomb you will get.
