DIY Oatmeal Bath Bombs

Oatmeal baths are well known for their skin-soothing properties. These Oatmeal Bath Bombs are made with oat extract and colloidal oatmeal to create a soothing bath experience. Colloidal oatmeal is micro-fine and fantastic for dry skin.

Oatmeal Milk and Honey Fragrance Oil gives these bath bombs a creamy, comforting scent. Cocoa butter adds structure and a chocolatey scent. A touch of oatmeal on top gives the bath bombs a finishing touch.

If you’ve never made bath bombs before, we recommend getting a batch under your belt that does not require a two-part mold. It can be a little tricky to get the perfect molding texture that will stick together and not crumble. Great recipe options for beginners include Rose Gold Bath Bombs and the Sand Dollar Bath Bombs. Watch the Surprise Bath Bomb video for tips on using the Stainless Steel Bath Bomb Mold successfully!

Hidden Color Bath Bombs on Soap Queen TV

These bath bombs look plain white, but once you throw them in the tub they release a hidden color!
Bath bombs are one of my favorite projects. They are fast and easy to make and, they give the gift of instant gratification because you can use them right away. The combination of fizzing, color and scent creates a fun bath experience. These Hidden Color Bath Bombs introduce the element of surprise – on the outside these mondo bath bombs are white, but once you introduce them to the tub they reveal a hidden color!

The idea for these bath bombs came to me in 2013, right before I found out the gender of my second child, Lily. Check out the original blog post here. These fizzies make the perfect activity or gift for a gender reveal party. You can use pink for a girl or blue for a boy. But don’t feel limited to these colors! You can use any La Bomb Colorant in the center of these fizzies, or you can use a combination of colors for a unique shade.

What You’ll Need:
3 cups Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda)
1.5 cups Citric Acid
12 mL Baby Powder Fragrance Oil
Teal La Bomb
Rosy Pink La Bomb
Witch Hazel (in a spray bottle)
Droppers with Suction Bulb
2-3 Stainless Steel Bath Bomb Molds
