Ingredients Needed
- Sodium bicarbonate
- Corn flour
- Citric acid
- Ground sea salt, a bit coarse
- Olive oil
- Essential oil, here I will use musk essential oil
- Oily color powder
- Distilled water
Choose high-quality ingredients to boost the effectiveness and safety of your DIY beauty products. When an essential oil is included, I use either pure or diluted essential oils. If using pure essential oils, use 1-2% of the product by weight—e.g., add 1-2 grams of pure essential oil to 100 grams of body scrub. Adjust the amount if using diluted oils or blends.
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.

10- Add 1 teaspoon or 4 grams (0.14 oz) of distilled water.
Note: The densities of the olive oil, essential oil, and water are different, that is why a teaspoon of them weighs differently.
