A fun and creative bath bomb making project for Halloween with hand painted pumpkins
Add the baking soda, citric acid, cream of tartar and cornstarch to a large bowl. Stir to combine.
In a microwave safe bowl add your coconut oil and melt in the microwave.
Add the essential oils, mica (1 tbsp), colorant (2 drops) and polysorbate 80. Mix.
Pour the liquid mixture into the dry mix bowl. Put on the disposable gloves and start mixing with your hands. You want to really mix everything together evenly and ensure there are no clumps. It should start to hold together like wet sand.
Pack the molds to shape your bath bombs. Loosely heap mixture in each half of the mold. Then squish the mold together, twisting a bit until the halves meet. Tap the ends and sides, then remove your bath bomb from the mold.
Let set for minimum 24 hours.
