Ingredients & Supplies: (may contain affiliate links)
- 1 cup baking soda
- ½ cup citric acid
- ½ cup Epsom salt
- ½ cup corn starch
- 1 teaspoon water
- 3 tablespoons. oil (olive, coconut, or castor oil)

Steps to Make Valentine's Day Bath Bombs
Step 1 - Mix Dry Ingredients
Place the dry ingredients in a bowl and mix with a whisk.
Step 2 - Mix Liquid Ingredients
In the small bowl, mix the liquid ingredients together until well blended.
Step 3 - Add Liquid Mixture to Dry
In the large bowl, slowly add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients a little bit at a time. The mixture should hold together when squeezed without crumbling.
Pro Tip: Don't mix the wet and dry ingredients too quickly. This will activate the mixture and it will begin to fizz.
Step 4 - Pack Mixture Into Mold
When well mixed, pack the mixture into your heart-shaped bath bomb mold, pack it tightly, and then dry. Make sure you work quickly, so the mixture doesn't dry out.
Bath Bombs need a day to several to harden fully. If they're not quite hardened enough, they may crumble when you handle them, so check to make sure before taking them out of the mold.
Heart-Shaped Bath Bomb Molds
Here's a great heart-shaped mold to make the bath bombs that you can also use for baking and candy making.
These heart-shaped bath bombs make pretty little presents for Valentine’s Day when wrapped in tulle or a plastic bag with some pretty ribbon or twine.
Everyone loves a pampering gift!
How To Use
To use your bath bomb, fill your tub with warm water and drop in your bath bomb. It will fizz and release the scent (if you used essential oils) and all the skin-softening agents.
Soak for about 20 - 30 minutes.

Hi there
Do you leave the patterns on the bath bomb while it’s in the bath
As there little bits in the bath
Is that alright.
Erin Henry says
We are not sure what you mean by patterns, but the bath bomb is all-natural so all ingredients can be washed down the drain. You do take it out of the mold before using it.
