Steps: DIY Bath Bubbles Powder
1- Begin with 1 cup of sodium bicarbonate in a large bowl.
2- Add 1/2 cup of corn flour.
3- Add 1/2 cup of citric acid.
4- Thoroughly mix the ingredients using a small silicone spatula. Ensure a uniform blend by breaking down any clumps and making sure all components are well incorporated.
5- Add 2 tablespoons of sweet almond oil.
6- Mix thoroughly with the spatula.
7- Add 2 more tablespoons of sweet almond oil (total so far 4 tablespoons of almond oil).
8- Mix with the spatula, then with your hand, kneading the contents repeatedly to break any lumps that might have formed.
9- Add 1 tablespoon of shampoo or shower gel.
10- Mix the shampoo (or shower gel), kneading the ingredients thoroughly by hand.
11- Split the contents into four parts as shown in the image below. We will apply different colors.
12- With the tip of a wooden popsicle stick, add a touch of purple mica color powder to one part.
13- Mix thoroughly with the popsicle stick.
14- Similarly, add a hint of orange, blue, and pink mica color powder to the remaining parts, and mix thoroughly.
15- Add 6 drops of fragrance oil to each part. Here, I am using jojoba fragrance.
16- Mix rigorously each part with a popsicle stick.
17- The DIY bath bubbles powder, in its four colors, is now ready. Before storing the powder in a container, allow it to ventilate for a short period to ensure any lingering moisture dissipates.
18- Let’s put two colors in each container:
- With your fingers, scoop one color into a small container, pressing the powder down to fill half of the container.
- Top the container with another color.
- Again, use your fingers to compress the powder, ensuring an even distribution and filling the container.
- Repeat for the other container, using the remaining two colors.
19- And that’s it. Enjoy!
