1/2 cup Epsom salts

1 tsp. water

2 tsp. essential oil

3 tsp. oil (olive oil)

food coloring (any color you want)

bowl

whisk

jar

Step 1

Put all your dry ingredients in a bowl and mix them evenly with your whisk.

Step 2

In a different container, add all your liquid ingredients and mix them together.

Step 3

Put a small amount of your liquid mixture to your dry ingredients and mix it thoroughly. Mix until all the liquid has been absorbed by your dry ingredients. Continue adding small amounts of the liquid mixture until you've used it all up.

Step 4

Now that you've mixed all the ingredients together, time to put it in the mold. Put a little more than what your mold can hold on both sides and press them together until it clips. You'd want to put more so your mixture get pressed together making it solid.

Step 5

Once it's pressed, gently tap it with a spoon to loosen your bath bomb.

Step 6
