DIY Strawberry Bath Bombs

Bath bombs are one of my favorite bath products to use! I used to buy expensive bath bombs at the store, but after learning how easy and fun they are to make at home, I now have a whole cabinet full of scented bath bombs! Bath bombs also make great gifts for friends or loved ones!
These lightly scented strawberry bath bombs produce a massive amount of fizz, and are the perfect way to relax after a long day!

Baking Soda
Corn Starch
Jojoba or Olive Oil
Water
Strawberry Fragrance Oil or Strawberry Extract
Tip: This recipe created enough for approximately 5-6 bath bombs. I used all the bath bomb molds I had and still had some of the mixture left over. I put the extra mixture in silicone cupcake holders, which unfortunately didn’t turn out and crumbled.
I couldn’t just get rid of that perfectly fizzy mixture so I placed it in a separate bottle. Now, I have a bottle full of delicious strawberry-scented fizziness. It still fizzes and works the same, just not in a bath bomb shape, and I can control the amount to use. Win-Win! So if you have one, that doesn’t turn out, remember to save it. You can still use it!
Also remember to use extra caution when getting in and out of the tub when using bath bombs because the oils, while moisturizing, can make the tub a little slick. Also, make sure to clean the tub after use to prevent discoloration of the tub and slickness from the oils.
