Fragrant bath bombs make bathing so much more fun and enjoyable. For this project, I used a small muffin pan, lavender pure essential oil for a relaxing effect and some purple food colouring for my desired colour. But feel free to get creative! Discover other molds to create floral or heart shapes. Select your favourite pure essential oils for the scent you’re looking for. And add food colouring to give each lavender bath bomb some colour. These Homemade Lavender Bath Bombs are also perfect for gift giving like Mother’s Day or for a spa party with your friends!
How to Make a Luscious Lavender Bath Bomb
Ingredients
- 4 ounces Cream of Tartar
- 4 ounces Corn Starch
- 8 ounces Baking Soda for your skin and the bath water
- 4 ounces Epsom Salts
- 3/4 tsp. Water
- 2 tsp. Lavender Essential Oil for scent
- 2 tsp. Coconut Oil
- Food colouring to make purple coloured bombs
Equipment Needed
- A mini muffin pan
- A bowl
How To Make The Bath Bombs
In a large mixing bowl, mix all dry ingredients: baking soda, cream of tartar, cornstarch, and Epsom salts.
In a separate small bowl, mix all wet ingredients: water, lavender essential oil, coconut oil, and food colouring.
Mix wet and dry ingredients. Your mixture should resemble wet sand. Adding the food colouring helps you figure out if you combined all the ingredients well. An even colour means a good mix! When you squeeze some in your fist, it should hold together. If it doesn’t, add water—just a few drops at a time until a desired consistency is reached.
Tightly pack mixture down into your mold.
Let it dry for 24 hours. Do not remove your bath bombs from the mold until the mixture is completely dry.
Recommendations
To make your bath bombs extra special, add dried flowers, non-toxic glitter, and/or sugar cake decorations

I never would have thought of making my own bath bomb — or that it was so easy!
This sounds like fun to make and use. It also doesn’t sound too difficult to make and it certainly looks good as a present too.
Wow,this sounds easy enough for me to try it also looks so pretty
What a nice home made gift idea! I imagine it would work well with other essential oils, no? Lavender is a scent that is very low on my preference list!
Sounds lovely. I’ve never tried making my own before!
thank you for this i will now be making my own bath bombs:)

There is nothing as nice as Lavender scents.We will enjoy making these and gifting some too.Thanks for the great post.
I had no idea that making these bath bombs was so easy but I’d have to find a different scent because I don’t like lavender
This is a wonderful idea! I especially like the recommendations of mixing in dried flowers and/or non-toxic glitter; I can imagine how truly pretty that would be!
I have wanted to make bath bombs for awhile now and am so glad that I checked out your post. I did not know it was this easy to make them and lavender is one of my favourite scents.
It’s definitely that difficult! Let me know how you liked it when you make it!
These bath bombs are so easy to make and made for an enjoyable spa bath.
