With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, I thought it would be fun to post a simple yet luxurious recipe you can use to treat yourself or share as a gift. The Epsom Salts and Baking Soda are great for relieving tired, sore muscles. Not only are all the ingredients derived from natural sources, the relaxing aroma is sure to leave you and/or your loved ones feeling completely blissed out. In-joy!
Ingredients:
– 1 cup Baking Soda
– 1/2 cup Citric Acid
– 1/2 cup Epsom Salt
– Approx.1 TBSP Rose Hydrosol or water
– 1 tsp Olive oil
– Dried Rose petals
– 20 drops Geranium essential oil
Instructions: Combine dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Slowly drizzle in Olive Oil and essential oil while stirring to prevent fizzing. Slowly spritz with hydrosol while stirring constantly until the mixture begins to clump together. The blend should be just moist enough to hold when pressed together with your hands, be careful not to add too much moisture.
Add rose petals, press into molds, and allow to dry 2-3 hours before unmolding. Let bath bombs cure for one week before using them, then store in an airtight container.
You can shape your bath bombs by using a melon baller, ice, candy or soap molds, clear plastic two-sided Christmas ornaments, egg cartons, or anything else you have on hand.
