Place all the dry ingredients into a bowl - 250g Baking Soda, 120g Citric Acid, 120g Corn Starch, 120g Mineral Salts and approx a teaspoon of Mica Color Powder in a large glass bowl. Tip: it's best to weigh these measurements than use measuring cups, as this will give you a more accurate result.
Use a whisk to mix the dry ingredients. Remove the lumps in the mixture to prevent warts (bubbles and lumps) from occurring in the finished bath bombs.
Combine all the wet ingredients into a bowl - 3 tsp of Witch Hazel, 1 tsp (or more to preference) of Essential Oil and 3 Tbs. of Vegetable Oil.
Very slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix. If you see fizz, you are pouring too quickly - slow down. Continue kneading the mixture with your hands or mixing with the whisk as you blend.
Tip: I use witch hazel instead of water. Witch hazel is a binding agent, while you can still get "fizz" from adding it to the dry ingredients too fast, it is more forgiving than water.
You should finish when you have a mixture that is the consistency of slightly damp sand, it should clump together when you squish the mixture with your hands. Press the mixture into one half of the sphere mold.
Add a sprinkle of dry lavender into the bottom of the 2nd half of mold. Then add more of the bath bomb mix to pack this side of the sphere mold.
Pack a little extra in the middle of each side and then push the 2 halves of the mold together.
Leave the mold to sit for a minute before removing one half of the mold.
Let the bomb sit (with one side open) for a further 5 minutes. Then holding the bomb over your hand, gently tap the remaining side of the mold, releasing the bomb into your hand.
Let the bomb cure for 48 hours before wrapping them.
Place the cured bath bomb in a Medium Clear Cellophane Gift Bag. Seal the bag with a Personalized Die Cut Ornate Monnogrammed Sticker. Alternatively, tie the bag with bakers twine and place the sticker on the front of the bag.
Guests can then place the sealed bath bomb into a Large Clear Favor Box as well as other items from my Bridal Shower Bath Bomb Bar.
