Paper yourself! Learn how to make this simple coconut lemon bath bombs recipe!
Today’s post is to pamper all of the moms! Sometimes we need a little love and pampering, too. Â I have always loved taking long hot baths. Â A long soak in the tub is something that really relaxes me and clears my head.
A while back a good friend of mine gave me a most amazing gift of this delicious smelling bath bomb. I decided I had to figure out how to make my own bath bombs. I was surprised by how easy bath bombs are to make. I LOVE this recipe for coconut lemon bath bombs!
How To Make Homemade Bath Bombs:
Bath Bomb Ingredients:
1 c. Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)
1/2 c. Citric acid
(I ordered mine on amazon, but you can get it in some stores, too)
1/2 c. Cornstarch
2 Tbsp Coconut Oil  (Sweet almond oil is another great addition)
2 Tbsp Epsom Salt
5-6 Tbsp Water
Lemon Essential Oil (Or your favorite scent)
Coloring (if desired)
Homemade Bath Bomb Instructions:
Mix all of the ingredients and press them into a mold. I used a silicone mold, but you could also use a muffin tin or an ice cube tray. Â The silicone molds are perfect because they are easy to pop out. There are special bath bomb molds, too.
Let them dry for 24-48 hours and pop them out. Store them in a glass jar or other sealed container. To use, drop them into a warm bath & let them fizzle.
These bath bombs are so nice because the coconut oil is great for your skin!! Citrus is a great addition because it is a mood booster. The citric acid will create a slight fizzing reaction which feels great, too!
Different scents I love to use: peppermint, lavender, eucalyptus, rose.
Try these bath bombs out & enjoy a nice relaxing bath! My kids really love these, too. Also, they make a great gift.

Cool idea, I will have to try it, the coconut oil is such a great moisturizer.
Hello,
How many bath bombs does this make roughly. I’m sure the size of the mold is a factor but if I were to use a small size mold would it make 12 or so?
Have you tried to roll into balls without the molds? Thinking of making this for Mothers’ Day.
Thank you for this resource!
If I remember correctly, I made about 9-10 out of this batch with a smaller mold. I used those Ikea silicone molds.
