Luxurious Midas Touch Bath Bombs

Ingredients

• 3 cups baking soda
• 1½ cups citric acid
• 2 teaspoons of ginger root essential oil
• 1.5 oz. meadowfoam seed oil
• 1 oz. cocoa butter
• Shimmer sparkle gold melt and pour soap color block

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, add the baking soda and citric acid. Break up the clumps with your hands.
2. Pour the meadowfoam oil and cocoa butter in a microwave safe container and completely melt the cocoa butter. Microwave and stir every 30 seconds.
3. Combine the wet and dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Stir in the ginger root essential oil. Allow the oil to cool as it can be extremely hot and possibly burn your hands.
4. Use your hands to work the ginger oil throughout the mixture. Continue to mix until the oils and dry ingredients are completely combined. This may take several minutes.
5. Melt the shimmer sparkle gold melt soap till it is a fine, smooth liquid. Mix in the melted soap in the mixture. Start with a few tablespoons. Add more if you want a more saturated color and sparkle.
6. Check the moisture of your bath bomb mixture. They should be of the texture of wet sand and hold their shape when squeezed with your hands. If they are too dry, you can gently spray them with water or witch hazel.
7. Fill your bath bomb molds with the mixture by gently pressing in mixture into both halves of the molds. To avoid imperfections, apply pressure to the edges of the mold when pressing together the eyelets.
8. Allow the bath bombs to harden in the molds for 24 hours before use.
9. Take the bath bombs out of the molds and put them into the bath water and enjoy. Keep unused bath bombs in the molds as humidity in the air can trigger their fizzing reaction.
