We have been planning to make Bath Bombs since the beginning of the year. After all, they are such a great gift for Mother’s Day. But clearly didn’t get round to it (again – so much to do, so much to make, not enough time!). One of the reasons, is that many Bath Bomb Recipes use Citric Acid and I just hadn’t had the chance to get hold of some. But you don’t need citric acid to make bath bombs. A Bath Bomb Recipe without Citric Acid contains that magical ingredient Tartar (also used for making playdough nice and smooth). So if you are a DIY household and have some Tartar in, you can make bath bombs with the kids – a great gift for friends and family in the run up to *cough* Christmas. Check out Me and My Shadow for the “traditional” bath bomb recipe.

Bath Bomb Recipe without Citric Acid:

Affiliate links added for convenience – if you purchase core items online, you can buy them in bulk and make this a super inexpensive craft!

  • 2 cups bicarbonate of soda (sometimes called baking soda) – US/UK
  • 1 cup cream of tartar – US  / UK
  • 1-2 table spoons of olive oil or plain oil (the oil gives it a nice soothness in the bath)
  • food colouring
  • essential oils (we used lavender)* (always read instructions) – US / UK
  • dried lavender (optional) US/ UK
  • Water in a spray bottle
  • Ice cube trays (silicon best – hearts work better than stars, don’t get shapes that are too intricate or have sharp corners that could break off) – US  /UK

*please always be careful when using essential oils and follow the instructions on the label

Bath Bomb Recipe How To

You can watch the video or follow the step by step instructions below!

Or follow the How to make Bath Bombs Step By Step instructions!

Bath Bomb Recipe without Citric acid

1) Mix your bircabonate of soda, tartar, oil, essential oils and food colouring until you have a colour you are happy with. As food colouring is “wet” it will form little dropplets and you just have to persevere in mixing it in. It will still look quite powdery.

2) Give it 2-3 sprays of water. It will start to sizzle as the bicarbonate of soda reacts with the water. But start mixing it and it will feel a little more “solid”, a bit like wet sand. When you can indent your spoon on the mixture and leave a nice “shape” behind without it crumbling too much you are ready to transfer to your ice cube trays. You can add a couple of sprays of water, if it isn’t lumpy enough yet. Using a SPRAY bottle really is important (we used a cleaned out cleaning bottle), as this disperses the water evenly and avoids, the bircab to just sizzle away in one part of your bowl!!

3) Mix in some lavender. We go carried away and added quite a lot. Less is more as a) you don’t want your bath bomb to fall apart and also, you WILL have a bath full of lavender at the end!!

4) Fill into your icecube trays (silicon REALLY IS BEST, else it is VERY HARD to get out in one go) and press down hard.

5) Let dry for 1-2 days. They get harder over time.

6) Remove gently and done. If you find, they break apart, you didn’t add enough water spray to begin with. You can crumble it all again, spray with more water and start again.

7) Have a nice relaxing bath! See our bath bombs in action!

    I want to do an all homemade Christmas gift giving this year and I think these would be perfect for post Christmas stress! In your opinion, which does more good for the skin – tartar method or bicarbonate method? How do the two textures differ? Does one hold up better than the other? And lastly, have you ever added Epsom salt to the receipe?

    Reply
    • Red Ted Art says

      August 9, 2014 at 8:38 pm

      Hello Dana – so sorry, I am not sure which is “better”. The Tartar tends to sink a little, whist the bicarbonate ones float better. I need to still try adding Epsom salt!

I’ve been reading a bit about them lately and looks like there’s a proportion that needs to be kept so you don’t damage your skin. Could you help with that? Thanks!

      Good question! Most essential oils give you a ratio? But always err on the side of caution, I think we added 20 drops or so. Which probably worked out at 2 drops per bath bomb?

      Hello, you can recrumble the mixture and start again. I am thinking yes, add a LITTLE more water (not too much – it is a tricky balance). Then pack it in as HARD as you can. Also the they get a LOT HARDER over time. So the longer you leave them in the molds before removing the better!

      The video is loaded under “Bath Bomb Recipe How To” section? Do you maybe have a video blocker on?

    Thanks Maggy for sharing such a good post on Bathing items and bathing furniture specially for kids. I have several customers need kids furniture occasionally and I found this post and tips for my business very useful. Thanks

    […] Spoon the mixture into your moulds. If you are using a mould in two halves pile more than you need in each half and press together firmly, brushing away the extra as it squeezes out. Gently unmould your bath bomb and place it in a pie tray to dry. Repeat until all the mixture has been used up. If you are using ice cube trays you can leave your bath bombs in the mould until they are dry and then carefully turn them out.  Maggy at Red Ted Art made some lovely ice cube tray bath bombs without using citric acid – you can see them here.
