Basic Bath Bomb recipe

2 Cups Baking Soda
1 Cup Corn Starch
1 Cup Citric Acid

You mix these ingredients well together, add color and FO/EO todesire. It will foam a bit. Spritz enough Witch Hazel on to be ableto make a ball. Be careful not to over-spritz as it will take out alot of the fizz.

I have not had luck making balls with my hands, but I have used an ice cream scoop with success. Some have used Melon Ballers for smaller bath bombs.

I made bath bombs with this recipe with some 'tweaks' of my own to the recipe, and used the ice cream scoop, and they came out looking like mint ice cream scoops, and they work just great, and smell great.

There will be cracks in the scoops/balls, and if you are really worried about the cracks, wet your finger with witch hazel and go over the crack with your finger. Some cracks add to the 'character,'I think.
Good luck with your bath bombs!!!"
