Wanna learn how to make fresh-scented DIY bath bombs that are inspired by the crisp, refreshing feeling of the ocean? These bath bombs are scented with a cool, fresh blend of apricot, geranium and cucumber, making them great pick-me-ups. You’ll imagine yourself on a sandy beach somewhere beautiful.
I love the ocean. It never fails to energize and refresh me. Whenever I’m feeling low, a trip to the beach lifts my spirits every time. Not surprisingly, the sea contains numerous resources that provide exceptional benefits to the skin, such that they’re widely used in cosmetics and skin care products.

Dead Sea salt and sea clay add the ocean’s skin care benefits to this bath bomb recipe, and blue mica powder provides a touch of color.
This DIY bath bomb recipe was inspired by the ocean’s natural wonders. Dead Sea salt and sea clay make these nourishing ocean surf DIY bath bombs a pleasant way to tap into the sea’s special energy, even when you can’t get to the beach.
Ocean Surf DIY Bath Bombs
Makes about 2 large or 5 small bath bombs.

Ingredients:

- 1 cup Baking Soda
- 1/2 cup Citric Acid
- 2 tablespoonfuls Dead Sea Salt
- 1 tablespoonful Sea Clay
- 1 tablespoonful Shea Butter, melted
- 1 teaspoonful Calamondin or Calming Water Fragrance Oil
- 5-7 scoops (0.15 mL each) Blue Mica Powder
Directions:
Watch this short video to learn how to make these DIY bath bombs.
- If using coarse Dead Sea salt, grind it into a powder. If using fine Dead Sea salt, you can skip this step.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the baking soda, citric acid, Dead Sea salt, sea clay, and blue mica powder. Mix well, making sure to break up any clumps.
- Drizzle the fragrance oil onto the powders, making sure to distribute them throughout the ingredients. Mix again.
- Using a dropper, slowly drizzle 1/4 teaspoonful of the melted shea butter onto the mixture and mix quickly. (Note: It’s important to spread the shea butter throughout the mixture. If too much is poured at once, the mixture will start to fizz.)
- Check your mixture by squeezing it with your hand. If the mixture is moldable, then you are ready to mold. You want it to be wet enough to clump together, but not too wet. If the mixture crumbles or it doesn’t hold together, slowly add more shea butter until moldable. (Note: The mixture is moldable when it looks like loose powder when sitting in the bowl, but will form nicely when squeezed. The squeezed mixture should be able to handle a gentle poke without crumbling.)
- Carefully mold the bath bombs using molds, cups, an ice cream scoop, or even an egg poacher.
- Allow the bombs to dry for 4 – 6 hours, or until they have hardened completely.
Store your bath bombs in an airtight package. If you’re giving them as gifts, they look lovely in cello bags with some decorative ribbon.

How To Use
Drop one bomb into warm bath water and enjoy.
