Rose Gold Bath Bomb Project
These bath bombs are decorated with shimmery pink sea salt and scented with Rose Quartz Fragrance Oil. They're perfect for Valentine's Day and beyond!
The formula for bath bombs is pretty simple. A little Baking Soda, a dash of Citric Acid, a few spritzes of Witch Hazel – that’s all you need for a good bath bomb. But adding special touches set your recipe apart. These Rose Gold Bath Bombs illustrate what a few simple ingredients can do.
What makes them so special? They contain pink sea salt that is coated in Rose Gold Mica. The shimmery salt gives the bath bombs a lovely pop of color and creates a soothing experience in the bath tub. Polysorbate 80, an emulsifier, helps the mica and Coconut Oil disperse in the water rather than pooling on top. Finish them off with bright Rose Quartz Fragrance Oil and your bath bombs will show once and for all that lovingly-crafted handmade products are always the best option.

- Sodium Bicarbonate - 1 lb
- Citric Acid - 1 lb
- Pink Sea Salt - Extra Fine - 2 lbs
- Rose Gold Mica - 1 oz
- Coconut Oil - 1 lb
- Witch Hazel - 1 lb
- Pink Sea Salt - Coarse - 2 lbs
- Rose Quartz Fragrance Oil - 1.75 oz
- Polysorbate 80 - 1 oz
EQUIPMENT:
- Disk Mold and Package, Plastic - 10 molds
- Droppers With Suction Bulb - 1 dropper
Instructions
You will need:
- 10 Disk Mold and Packages
- 2 cups Baking Soda (Sodium Bicarbonate)
- 1 cup Citric Acid
- 1 cup Extra Small Pink Sea Salt
- 3 oz. Coarse Pink Sea Salt
- ¼ tsp. Rose Gold Mica
- 3 oz. Coconut Oil
- 9 mL Rose Quartz Fragrance Oil
- 0.3 oz. Polysorbate 80
- Dropper
- Witch Hazel in Spray Bottle
Follow these steps:
1
Mix 3 ounces of coarse pink sea salt with 1/4 teaspoon of Rose Gold Mica. Add a small amount of the salt to the bottom of the bath bomb molds and set aside. Tip: Don’t add too much salt to the bottom of the molds, or a majority of it will fall off when the bath bomb is removed.
2
Sift together 2 cups of baking soda and 1 cup of citric acid. Add 1 cup of extra small pink sea salt and mix to fully incorporate.
3
Add the remaining coarse pink sea salt to dry the ingredients. Mix thoroughly.
4
Melt the bag of coconut oil in the microwave using 30 second bursts. In a small heat-safe container, add 3 ounces of melted coconut oil, 9 mL of Rose Quartz Fragrance Oil, and 0.3 ounces of polysorbate 80. Mix well.
5
Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture. Use your hands to fully combine all the ingredients.
6
Test the consistency of the bath bomb mixture. The perfect consistency for molding is similar to wet sand and holds its shape when squeezed. If it’s too dry, use one hand to spritz the mixture with witch hazel and one to mix. Continue spritzing until the mixture holds its shape when squeezed.
7
Add the mixture into the bath bomb molds. Press it in firmly and use your hands to smooth the back. Allow the bath bombs to harden for at least 3-4 hours or up to overnight. Remove from the molds and enjoy!
