So you get the wonderful bath fizzy fun, followed by a silky, soothing foam bath. Lemon– Is also a winning oil for colds as well as attention and focus. It promotes positive energy.

First, your mixture may be too dry. Here in Canada our air is so dry that if I follow this recipe my mix is too dry right from the beginning, so I need to add a little extra coconut oil. It is very easy to over do this. So just add a teaspoon at a time and mix well until you get the wet sand consistency. Carefully remove donut-shaped bath bombs from mold. Spread them out onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
