Transform Your Bath into a Luxurious Spa Experience

BASIC BATH BOMBS

 

Ingredients for 2 balls:

  • 220 g of baking soda
  • 110 g of citric acid
  • 2 tablespoons of sweet almond oil (available at a pharmacy or drugstore)
  • 20 drops of essential oil
  • Food coloring

 

Preparation:

  • Add baking soda and citric acid into a dry mixing bowl. Mix for 5 seconds on turbo mode.
  • Then set the time to 10 seconds on speed 10.
  • Mix sweet almond oil, and essential oil in a separate mug, and select food dye if you want to have a colored ball.
  • Set the Thermomix to 1 minute on speed 3. While working, add liquid ingredients through the hole in the lid. A powder should form.
  • Fill your molds with the powder, press down to tightly pack them
  • If you would like a ‘spherical’ shape, press 2 of the molds together, so that the masses merge into one.
  • Leave for a few minutes, then take the finished ball out of the mold and leave it to dry completely.

TIP:  Water cannot get into the mass because it will start to foam

FLOWER BATH BOMBS

 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of baking soda
  • 2 cups of citric acid
  • 1/2 cup of cosmetic olive oil
  • fragranced oil
  • dried flower petals
  • water in a spray bottle
  • molds

 

Preparation

  • Add the citric acid and baking soda to a dry mixing bowl. Mix for 5 seconds on turbo mode.
  • Add the oil and the aroma, set the Thermomix to 1 minute on speed 3. You should get a consistency of wet sand
  • Transfer your mixture into a separate bowl (not a Thermomix mixing bowl), add in flower petals and mix by hand
  • Transfer the mass into molds, pressing down firmly. If we have two-piece molds, put the mixture in both halves and then join together by pressing together
  • Gently remove from the mold- If the ball crumbles when taking it out, spray the crumbled parts with water from a distance and press back together. Do not spray too much, because the acid and baking soda will start to dissolve and foam.
  • Wrap your finished bath bombs in cling film so they do not come into contact with moisture and do not fall apart during transport and storage.

And when your flower bath bombs are ready, treat yourself to a wonderful, relaxing, and aromatic flower bath, which will additionally beautifully moisturize your skin.
