Bath bombs are easy to make!
A bath salt that brings you more relaxation during bath time. When I was a kid, I liked to gently wrap the "bab" in my hand and watch over the disappearing moments.
By the way, did you know that you can easily make a bath salt that melts like that bab (it's called a bath bomb) at home? This time, I will introduce the bath bomb that was posted on the official website of the 100-yen shop "Can Do".
The ingredients (amount that is easy to make) are 100 g of baking soda, 50 g of citric acid, 50 g of potato starch, and a little water. Prepare your favorite bath salt and aroma oil (5 to 10 drops depending on the amount) for scenting.
All can be purchased at 100-yen stores. Cleaning baking soda and citric acid are fine, but food products are safer.
First, mix baking soda, citric acid, and potato starch well.
Potato starch seems to play the role of "connector"
Add your favorite bath salt and spray with water about 5 times each to mix. If the water concentrates in one place, it will foam, so the point is to spray it evenly.
With this amount, 2-3 bags of bath salt
Sprinkle water little by little and mix.
Some put mint oil. Recommended for summer as it is soothing
When the whole is a little damp and it hardens when you press it tightly with your fingers, pack it firmly in a mold and dry it. Using a silicone mold will make it easier to remove later.
This is a guide. If you squeeze it, it's too much
Silicone mold (right) makes it easier to remove later
Leave it for half a day to a day, and when it hardens, remove it from the mold and complete. Put it in the bathtub and enjoy how carbon dioxide is generated!
I had a little trouble getting the plastic mold out
I think it's easy to crumble, so it's hardened so much that even children can make it without fail ♪ Why don't you try making it during the summer vacation using various bath salts and scents?
