Ingredients
- 1 cup baking soda
- ½ cup citric acid
- ½ cup cornstarch
- ¼ cup epsom salts
- 2 tbs fractionated coconut oil or almond oil
- ¼ teaspoon kids safe essential oil*
- 1 tbs water
- purple gel food coloring other deep color is OK, but I think the purple works best
Supplies for Toy Surprise Inside Golden Egg Bath Bombs
- large plastic egg molds/candy holders
- small toys that easily fit inside the eggs I used Toob pets
- 1-2 cans of Wilton edible Gold Color Spray
- ¼-1/2 teaspoon gold cosmetic glitter very fine glitter
Instructions
- Mix together the dry ingredients for bath bombs, then add the oil, essential oil and water. Take care to whisk quickly as you add the water so it can blend in before causing much reaction.
- Add the purple gel food coloring. Stir in well, and repeat until mixture is a medium to deep purple. It doesn’t have to be too dark, but helps make the gold over it look more realistic.
- Fill each side of a plastic egg candy holder with the bath bomb mixture, then insert a toy on larger side of egg.. Press down around the toy and opposite side to ensure the mold is well packed, then add more. Press down, once sides are full add an extra scoop on each side and press firmly together. Set the bath bomb filled molds aside to set for about ½ an hour, then remove to dry out for about another hour before painting (longer is fine).
- Once the purple egg bath bombs are dry, take a can of Wilton edible gold paint shake well and mist on the bath bombs. It will take a number of coats to fully cover the egg with gold paint. While the spray is still wet sprinkle on some gold cosmetic glitter to add more glisten to the Golden Egg bath bombs.
- The Toy Surprise Inside Golden Egg Bath Bombs should be left to dry overnight before sealing in airtight container or using.
Notes
* lavender, orange and lemongrass are three I use in my daughter's bath bombs and are generally considered safe for kids
