Welcome to our guide on DIY Musk Bath Bomb! Elevate your home spa experience with this delightful creation that promises relaxation and rejuvenation. Crafted with a blend of natural ingredients, including musk essential oil, this bath bomb is designed to turn your bathing ritual into a serene retreat.

So, let’s dive into the step-by-step process of making this DIY Musk Bath Bomb and treat yourself to a spa day at home. Get ready to immerse yourself in a world of tranquil moments of pure relaxation.

Ingredients Needed

  • Sodium Bicarbonate
  • Cornstarch
  • Citric Acid
  • Coarse Sea Salt
  • Olive Oil
  • Essential Oil (concentrated): Here, I use musk essential oil.
  • Oil-soluble Color Powder
  • Distilled Water

Notes on Ingredients

Choose high-quality ingredients to boost the effectiveness and safety of your DIY beauty products.

When an essential oil is included, I use either concentrated or diluted essential oils. If using concentrated essential oils, use up to 0.5% by weight to ensure safety for all skin types. To use diluted essential oils, mix 1 gram (0.035 oz) of concentrated essential oil with 100 grams (3.5 oz) of sweet almond oil or jojoba oil.

If a recipe calls for fragrance oil, you can use diluted essential oil instead to benefit from both its scent and therapeutic effects. This provides a natural alternative to synthetic fragrance oils and offers additional benefits.

Tools Needed

  • Scale to Weigh Quantities
  • Medium-sized Bowl
  • Small Bowl
  • Tablespoon
  • Teaspoon
  • Small Whisk
  • Bath Bomb Molds. When you buy a set, it comes with different sizes.

Prior to use, ensure that both your utensils and containers are properly cleaned and disinfected. Wash them with warm soapy water, dry with a tissue, and then sanitize by spraying with 70% medical alcohol. Wipe them clean and let them air dry before use.
