Supplies needed to make this Homemade Lavender and Eucalyptus Bath Bomb Recipe
- 2 ounces of Epsom salt
- 4 ounces of baking soda
- 2 ounces of citric acid
- 2 ounces of corn starch
- ½ tablespoon of water
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of dried lavender
- 20-30 drops of Lavender essential oil
- ⅛ teaspoon Purple Mica Powder
Supplies:
- Large bowl
- Whisk
- Small jar and lid
- Bath Bomb Molds – 2.2 inches in size
- Measuring cups and measuring spoons
Start off by mixing all of the dry ingredients first. This would be the Epsom salt, baking soda, cornstarch and citric acid. Be certain to use a whisk! Whisk until there are no clumps.
Once this is done, go ahead and add all the wet ingredients and the mica into the jar. Put on the lid and shake.
After you’ve given it a good shake, slowly add the liquid mixture into the dry mixture – just a few small drops at a time. You’re also going to want to be whisking this whole time as well. (If it starts to fizz, it’s not good and means you’re going too fast!)
After you’ve combined the wet and dry, mix well until the color is the same throughout.
Add dried lavender into the bottom of 4 of the molds.
Put the bath bomb mixture into the molds asap and firmly stuff each side.
Put the two sides of the mold together and secure, give a twist and let it set to harden. Waiting 24 hours is the best way to be certain it’s dry and ready.
Take the bath bombs out after the time has passed and store them in an airtight container or bag.
See how simple it can be to make your own bath bombs? These bath bombs are great to make for yourself but also make great DIY gifts as well. Just put them in a cute bag with a ribbon and you’ve got the perfect holiday gift for your family and friends!

I’m confused. Is this recipe supposed to be a mixture of lavender and eucalyptus or for either by substituting the eucalyptus for the lavender? I’m not seeing eucalyptus within the recipe. If a mixture, then how much of each essential oil?
Also, I prefer to use jojoba, vit e, etc. oil as a carrier and witch hazel or rose water for “water”. Will these ingredients alter the bomb?
Thank you for your help!
