Supplies Needed for Lavender Bath BombsTo embark on your DIY lavender bath bombs journey, you'll need:
Ingredients for a Luxurious Bath Experience- 2 lb Bath Bomb & Fizzy Base
- 2 oz Shea Butter
- 7.5 ml (1½ tsp) Purple Liquid Colorant or Water-Soluble Liquid Colorant of Your Choice
- 2 oz 99% Isopropyl Alcohol (available at pharmacies or online)

Step-by-Step Guide to Crafting Your Bath BombSafety First: Before beginning, ensure you've read all instructions thoroughly. Handle melted oils with care to avoid burns, and always measure fragrance oils in glass or stainless steel containers. Wear gloves to protect your manicure during the mixing process.
- Prepare the Bath Bomb Base: Melt shea butter in a microwaveable bowl until liquid, stirring halfway through. Allow to cool slightly before adding the fragrance oil. Combine the shea butter mixture with the bath bomb base thoroughly by hand.
- Color and Scent: Blend the liquid colorant with isopropyl alcohol in a small container, then incorporate this mixture into your bath bomb base. Mix well by hand, adjusting the consistency with a bit of isopropyl alcohol if needed.
- Mold Your Bath Bombs: Overfill each half of your mold with the bath bomb mixture without packing. Press both halves together, clean off any excess, and gently release the bath bomb onto a plastic-wrap-lined muffin pan.
- Decorate with Mica Drizzle: Mix ½ tsp. of each mica color with 1½ tsp of isopropyl alcohol in a paper cup. Adjust the thickness as desired and drizzle over your bath bombs in a whimsical pattern.
- Dry and Enjoy: Allow the bath bombs to set for two hours before handling, and a full 24 hours before use. To use, simply drop one into a hot bath and revel in the fizzy spectacle.
