Easy Magical DIY Unicorn Bath Bombs Recipe

One of the reasons I love using bath bombs is that you can incorporate nourishing oils and butters plus beneficial minerals to help moisturize and soothe skin, relieve tense muscles, and relax your mind, body and soul. And it doesn’t cost a lot to transform your bath into a spa-like experience with skin-loving benefits to boot.

So pour yourself a glass of wine, light some candles, take a dip in the tub, and relax with these easy magical DIY unicorn bath bombs. You won’t be sorry you did.

Makes about 4 unicorn bath bombs.

Ingredients:

1 cup Baking Soda
1/2 cup Citric Acid
2 tablespoonfuls carrier oil of choice (I used 1 tablespoonful each of coconut oil and shea butter, both melted, for their skin-loving properties plus they help the bombs stick together)
1 tablespoonful Epsom Salt
30-40 drops of essential/ fragrance oil (I used cotton candy fragrance oil to go with the unicorn theme)
Blue, Gold, Red & Sparkle White Mica Colors

Directions:

Combine the baking soda, citric acid, and Epsom salt in a large bowl and mix well until combined. Make sure you break up any clumps. (Note: To help prevent clumps, sieve the powders before adding to the bowl.)
Divide the mixture into 3 mixing bowls. Add blue mica to the 1st bowl, gold mica to the 2nd bowl, and red mica to the 3rd bowl. Stir to combine.
Slowly drizzle the melted coconut and fragrance oils, and half of the melted shea butter onto each of the powders and mix quickly. Make sure to distribute them throughout the ingredients. (Note: It’s important to spread the oils throughout the mixture. If too much is poured at once, the mixture will start to fizz.)
Check your mixtures by squeezing them with your hand. If the mixtures are moldable, then you are ready to mold. You want them to be wet enough to clump together, but not too wet. If the mixtures crumble or they don’t hold together, slowly add more shea butter until moldable. (Note: The mixtures are moldable when they look like wet sand.)
Place your mold onto a cookie or baking sheet for stability. Sprinkle sparkle white mica into your molds.
Press the baking soda mixtures into molds. Start with the gold mixture then layer the blue mixture on top and finish off with the red mixture. Sprinkle some more sparkle white mica on top of the mixture and press in.
Allow the bath bombs to dry for 4 – 6 hours, or until they have hardened completely. (Note: I let mine dry overnight.)

When dry, unmold your bath bombs and store in an airtight container or bag. If you’re giving them as gifts, they look lovely in cello bags with some decorative ribbon.

How To Use

Drop one bath bomb in a warm bath. It releases a super-sweet scent of sugared strawberry, sweet peach, ripe raspberry and cotton candy — you’ll enjoy a fragrant, relaxing and truly magical soak! It also gives the water a soft blue, gold and pink hue. Plus some sparkle!

Enjoy!

Benefits

Epsom salt contains magnesium which improves skin quality and leaves your skin feeling silky smooth. It also has amazing relaxation benefits. Plus it can help inflamed skin and relieve sunburn, remove oil and product buildup that weigh down hair, and has natural exfoliating properties making for a super-effective body or lip scrub.

Coconut oil is my beauty cure-all. This amazing sweet-smelling oil has a number of health benefits. It’s sort of a jack-of-all-trades. It can remove makeup and clean your makeup brush, and it freshens breath. It’s an effective moisturizer for both your body and face as it absorbs quickly, making your skin soft, radiant and more glowy. It’s also an ideal ingredient for homemade lip scrubs and lip balm plus body scrubs and much more. Coconut oil can be used for almost everything — from healing scars to moisturizing dry skin patches.

Shea butter is incredibly moisturizing and nourishing for the skin. It’s great for softening skin and even has anti-inflammatory and healing properties. It conditions, soothes, and tones your skin, and is often used as a remedy for acne and dry skin plus to protect skin’s natural oils.
