Step 1: Prepare Bath Bomb Ingredients

Our fizzy bath bomb recipe uses natural ingredients and is easy to prepare. In a large bowl, mix all dry ingredients, including the dried flower petals. In a separate small bowl or measuring cup, mix the wet ingredients and stir well. Add a few drops of coloring to the wet ingredients, until you reach a shade you like; keep in mind that the shade of the liquid will lighten slightly when added to the dry ingredients. We used a combination of lavender and eucalyptus for the essential oils, and added a few drops of red coloring to make pink bath bombs.
