How to Use Bath Bombs
Are you curious about how to use bath bombs? I promise it’s easy. Simply fill the bathtub with warm water, plop in the bath bomb, and sit back and enjoy.
You only need to be careful not to get the bath bomb wet before you’re ready to use it. If water gets to the bath bomb before you do, it can disintegrate.
How to Make Mexican Fiesta Bath Bombs
This is a bath bomb that you most likely haven’t heard of before. You’re not using guacamole to make this bath bomb, but it looks like it. You’ll find out the different types of ingredients that I use to make this. It’s easy, I promise. Follow the tutorial to learn how to make it!
Tools
- 4-5 large bath bomb molds or
- 4-5 small bath bomb molds
Whisk together the baking soda, citric acid, cornstarch, and Epsom salts. In a second bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, essential oil blend, and witch hazel, mixing well.
Add liquid ingredients 1 tsp at a time to the dry ingredients, mixing them slowly so as not to start the fizzy reaction. Split out 1 cup of the mixture into a second small bowl. I
In the remaining larger portion of the bath bomb mixture, add the green mica powder and mix well. If you want a more green color, add more mica powder in 1 tsp increments. Add the silver/black and nut brown mica powders in the smaller bowl and stir until the color is consistent throughout.
If you want a darker avocado pit color, add mica powder in 1 tsp increments.
Dust the insides of the smaller bath bomb molds with cornstarch. Pack both sides full of the dark brown mixture, overfilling each side. Press and grind the two filled halves of the small bath bomb molds to compress the two sides into one ball. Gently tap the sides and remove the small bath bomb from the middle.
Perhaps the most amazing part of this guacamole bath bomb is its interior. Look at how much it resembles the inside of an actual avocado!
Immediately fill the bath bomb mold with sprinkles about half full of the green mixture, pack it up the sides, and place one of the small dark baths in it.
Packing the Guacamole bath bomb is very satisfying. Place about 1 tsp of sprinkles in the non-dusted side of the bath bomb mold.

How to Make Fizzing Bath Bombs
If you want your bath bombs to fizz like these, you need to make sure you use citric acid! Citric acid is the best way to ensure fizziness. The fun part of bath bombs is putting them in the water, and then they fizz!
Where Can I Buy Citric Acid?
If you’re looking for citric acid and don’t know where to look, I have a few suggestions. You can head to Walmart and buy it in person or go online and buy from a place such as Amazon.

Mexican Avocado Bath Bombs
Say hello to these vibrant Avocado Bath Bombs!
Materials
- A cup of baking soda
- Half a cup of citric acid
- Half a cup of cornstarch
- One-fourth cup of Epsom salts
- Two tablespoons of melted coconut oil
- Half teaspoon of desired essential blend, or you can use avocado oil which what I used
- Two teaspoons witch hazel
- A teaspoon of mica powder - green
- A teaspoon of mica powder - silver/black
- A teaspoon of mica powder - nut brown
- Two to four tablespoons of blended guacamole sprinkles
Tools
- 4-5 bath bomb molds, prepare both large and small sizes.
Instructions
- In one bowl, whisk together baking soda, citric acid, cornstarch, and Epsom salts. In another bowl, we're blending melted coconut oil, an essential oil blend (because who doesn't love a bit of aromatherapy?), and witch hazel. Mix it all until it's smooth and fragrant, like a potion ready to enchant your senses.
- Slowly add the liquid mixture, just one teaspoon at a time, to the dry ingredients. Take it easy and mix slowly to avoid a premature fizzy reaction. Set aside one cup of the mixture in a separate small bowl. This portion will play a special role in our bath bomb adventure later on.
- Take the larger portion of the mixture and sprinkle in the green mica powder, stirring it in thoroughly until you achieve a green hue. If you're craving an even more vibrant green, feel free to sprinkle in some additional mica powder, adding it gradually, teaspoon by teaspoon, until you reach your desired shade. In the smaller bowl, hold the reserved portion of the mixture. Mix in the silver/black and nut brown mica powders, stirring until the color is consistent.
- Dust the insides of the smaller molds with a light coating of cornstarch. Fill both sides of the small molds to the top with the dark brown mixture, making sure to overfill each side slightly. Press those two filled halves of the small bath bomb molds together firmly, grinding them together to meld the two sides. Then, gently tap the sides of the molds to loosen any trapped air bubbles and help release the bath bomb from the middle.
- Immediately after removing the small bath bomb from the mold, pack the remaining space in the bath bomb mold with the green mixture, filling it about halfway. Carefully place the small dark bath bomb into the center of the mold.
- Finally, add about one teaspoon of our colorful sprinkles and place them in the side of the bath bomb mold that hasn't been dusted with cornstarch.
