Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup baking soda
- ½ cup citric acid
- ½ cup cornstarch
- ½ cup Epsom salt
Wet Ingredients
- ¼ cup coconut oil (melted)
- ¼ cup shea butter (melted)
- 2 tbsp peach fragrance oil (or essential oil)
- 1 tbsp bramble berry fragrance oil (or essential oil)
- 2 tbsp water (or more if needed)
- A few drops of food coloring (optional)
Decoration (Optional)
- Dried flower petals
- Mica powder
Instructions
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the baking soda, citric acid, cornstarch, and Epsom salt. Stir together until fully incorporated and evenly mixed.
- Melt the Wet Ingredients: In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the coconut oil and shea butter together by heating in 20-30 second intervals. Stir between intervals until both oils are completely melted and smooth.
- Add Fragrance and Coloring: Stir the peach fragrance oil, bramble berry fragrance oil, and a few drops of food coloring (if using) into the melted oils until evenly combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly pour the melted oil mixture into the dry ingredients while stirring gently to prevent premature fizzing, ensuring an even mixture.
- Adjust Moisture: Gradually add water one teaspoon at a time, mixing continuously. Stop adding once the mixture holds its shape when pressed, resembling wet sand texture.
- Shape the Truffles: Scoop the mixture into silicone molds or form small balls by hand. Rolling into spheres works well if molds aren’t available.
- Decorate (Optional): Gently press dried flower petals or sprinkle mica powder on top of each truffle for an appealing look.
- Dry the Bath Truffles: Allow the truffles to dry for 12-24 hours, depending on humidity. They should become firm yet still dissolve easily in water.
- Store or Use: Store hardened bath truffles in an airtight container until ready to use. Drop one into warm bath water to enjoy relaxing scents and moisturizing benefits.
Notes
- Use fragrance or essential oils suitable for bath products to avoid skin irritation.
- Be cautious adding water gradually to prevent premature reaction.
- If using food coloring, opt for skin-safe options to avoid staining.
- Drying time may vary with humidity; ensure truffles are fully firm before storing.
- Keep bath truffles in a dry container to maintain their effectiveness.
