How to Make Bath Bombs with Coconut Oil

Here is how to make bath bombs with coconut oil:

1. Using a digital scale, weigh out the baking soda, citric acid, powdered buttermilk, clay and arrowroot powder into a large mixing bowl. Then add a pinch of the brown mica and either the flax seed, or poppy seeds, to suit. (These will serve as the chocolate chips in your cookie dough bath bombs.)
2. Next, whisk the ingredients together until they are thoroughly combined.
3. Now weigh out the coconut oil into a separate container. If solid, gently heat the coconut oil until melted. Then weigh out and stir in the Polysorbate 80.
4. Add the fragrance oil to the coconut mixture, then mix thoroughly to combine.
5. Now add the scented coconut oil to the dry ingredients, mixing as you go. (You don’t want to overdo it.)
6. You want your bath bomb mixture to be the consistency of wet sand. It should also hold together when you press a clump into your hand and drop it back into the bowl. If the bath bomb mixture is too dry, you can use your spray bottle with isopropyl alcohol (or witch hazel) to moisten the ingredients further. Alternately, you may also add additional coconut oil as needed.
7. Now it’s time to make mold the chocolate chip cookie dough bath bombs with coconut oil. Using a two-part round bath bomb mold of your choice, make each bath bomb one at a time, unmolding the first and then following with the next. (The molds I linked too have two sizes to choose from.)
8. To mold your bath bombs with coconut oil, pile the mixture into each side of the round bath bomb molds. Lightly compact the bath bomb mixture into each half of the mold, then pile more of the bath bomb mixture into each half.
9. Next, firmly press both sides of the the bath bomb molds together. Don’t twist.
10. Then unmold the bath bomb you just made.
11. Repeat for each of your bath bombs with coconut oil until you’ve used up all of the bath bomb mixture.
12. Finally, allow the bath bombs to dry and harden, about 24 hours.
13. You can now either wrap your bath bombs tightly in foodservice film, shrinkwrap bags or package them in boxes for homemade gifts. Alternately, you can also store your bath bombs with coconut in an airtight container until they’re ready for use.
