Instructions: Recipe 1

Mix 1 part citric acid (you can get this at a pharmacy) with 2 1/4 parts baking soda. Add several drops of essential oil and a few drops food coloring. Moisten by spraying with water or witch hazel (witch hazel is better since it evaporates much more quickly) until mixture just begins to stick together.

Recipe 2

2 T Citric Acid 2 T Cornstarch 1/4 c baking soda 1/4 t fragrance oil 3 - 6 drops of liquid colorant (if desired) 3 T Coconut Oil ( or any other emolient oil like Almond Oil, Avocado Oil, or Apricot Kernel Oil)

Place all of the dry ingredients (first 3) into a bowl and mix well. Add fragrance and colorant. In a small glass bowl combine oil then add fragrance and colorant. Slowly add oil mixture to dry ingredients and blend well. Take truffle sized scoops of the mixture and shape into balls.

Balls should be about 1" in diameter. Let balls rest on a sheet of waxed paper for 2 - 3 hours. Let the bombs dry and harden for 24 - 48 hours. Pack each bomb into its own candy cup. Store bombs in a closed container. To use drop, 1 -3 into warm bath water.
