How to Make Strawberries and Cream Bath Bombs
If you have never made a bath bomb before, you’re about to learn how. I promise it’s so easy, you’ll wonder why you haven’t done it before. Did you know that the first bath bomb was created in 1989 by Mo Constantine? We have her to think for her awesome contribution to making our baths that much better. Nowadays, you don’t need to go to a store to buy them though. You can simply make it yourself.
One of the main tools you’re going to need for this bath bomb recipe is 4-5 large bath bomb molds. These molds will help ensure you have proper bath bombs.
Whisk together the baking soda, citric acid, cornstarch, and Epsom salts.
In a second bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, essential oil blend, and alcohol, 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.
Separate about ⅓ of the bath bomb mixture into a second small bowl. To this smaller bowl of bath bomb mixture, add the green mica powder and mix well. If you want more color, add some additional mica powder in 1 tsp increments.
To the larger bowl of bath bomb mixture, add the pink mica powder and mix well. If you want more color, add some additional mica powder in 1 tsp increments. Dust the bottom of one side of one of the bath bomb molds with cornstarch. The sprinkle side tends to come out on its own, so do not bother to dust that side with cornstarch.
Place about 1 tsp of sprinkles in the non-dusted side of the bath bomb mold. Immediately pack the bath bomb mold with the sprinkles overly full of the pink mixture. You want there to be an excess mixture to help bond the two sides of the mold together. To the cornstarch-dusted half of the bath bomb mold, fill it about ½ full of green bath bomb mixture, then finish filling it with the pink mixture, overfilling as with the other half of the bath bomb.

Press the two sides of the bath bomb mold together, grinding and pressing them to force the two together. Allow the bath bombs to rest in the mold for up to 24 hours before gently tapping the side of the mold to release the bombs. Use your bath bombs immediately or store them in an airtight container until you’re ready to use!

Should You Shower After Using a Bath Bomb?
My only suggestion to consider is that if you use a dark-colored bath bomb, you may want to consider taking a shower. The shower can help you rinse off any of the darker colors. It’s not necessary to shower though, that is a preference.
