Your bath time needs this unicorn bath bomb
Sure, you could just buy a bath bomb at the store, but that's so boring! Bath fizzes are so fun to make, and this unicorn-inspired bomb is actually the bomb and will get you tons of likes on Instagram. Watch this video and follow the recipe below from Soap Chérie to learn how to DIY one for your next bath.
Ingredients:
1 cup citric acid
2 cups baking soda
2 ounces shea butter
2 teaspoons essential oil of your choice
1/2 teaspoon pink colorant
1/2 teaspoon yellow colorant
1/2 teaspoon blue colorant
Water
Iridescent Super Sparkle Glitter
1 ounce glycerin melt and pour
24k gold mica
Materials: spray bottle, bath bomb mold; unicorn horn mold
All supplies can be found at Wholesalessuppliesplus.com.
Instructions:
1. Start with citric acid and baking soda. In a large bowl, add citric acid and baking soda, and mix thoroughly.
2. Add oils. Using your hands, mix 1 ounce shea butter (to soothe and moisturise your skin) and the essential oil (to add a scent) into the citric acid-baking soda mixture.
3. Divide and colour. Split the mixture evenly into three bowls. In each bowl, add a different colorant. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is evenly coloured.
4. Spray water into the mix. Use a spray bottle to spritz your mixtures a little at a time. Continue to use your hands to mix it all together until it is at a consistency where it's a little crumbly but can hold its shape when you tightly squeeze it.
5. Pack the mixture into the mould. Sprinkle a little of each colour into the mould until it's full. Then use the palm of your hand to press it in tight.
6. Let it dry. Tap the mould to release the bath bombs and set them aside somewhere warm and dry for a few hours to dry.
7. Glitterfy your bomb. Once the bombs are dry, sprinkle the iridescent glitter on top.
8. Form the horn. Melt 1 ounce shea butter and pour it into the horn mould. Let it harden before removing from the mould.
9. Dip it in gold. Once hardened, dip each horn in mica to create a magical sheen.
10. Attach the horn. Heat the glycerin in the microwave a few seconds at a time until melted. Dip the bottom of the horns in the glycerin and stick them to the top of the bombs to finish.
11. Toss it in when your bath is ready and live your best unicorn life.
