🛁 Basic Kratom Bath Bomb Recipe (makes about 4–6, depending on size)

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup citric acid

  • 1 cup baking soda

  • 1/2 cup cornstarch (or potato starch)

  • 1/4 cup Epsom salt (optional – softens the skin)

  • 1–2 tsp water (use sparingly!)

  • 1–2 tsp carrier oil (e.g. coconut oil, almond oil, or olive oil)

  • 10–20 drops essential oil (e.g. lavender, lemon, eucalyptus)

  • 1–2 tsp Optional color (e.g. Kratom, Sakea naa, Javanica)

  • Bath bomb molds or silicone molds (you can use plastic Christmas ornaments or muffin tins)

🛠️ Instructions:

  1. Mix dry ingredients:

    • In a large bowl, mix the baking soda, citric acid, cornstarch, kratom, and Epsom salt.

  2. Mix wet ingredients in a separate bowl:

    • Combine the oil, essential oil, color, and water.

    • Stir gently — too much liquid or adding it too quickly may cause the mixture to fizz prematurely.

  3. Slowly combine wet and dry ingredients:

    • Add the liquid mixture slowly to the dry ingredients, stirring constantly to avoid fizzing.

    • The final texture should feel like damp sand — it should hold its shape when pressed together.

  4. Mold your bath bombs:

    • Firmly press the mixture into your molds. If using two halves (for a round bomb), press them together tightly.

  5. Let them dry:

    • Leave the bath bombs in the mold to dry for at least 24 hours. Once hardened, remove and store in an airtight container or wrap in cellophane bags.

💡 Tips:

  • Use gloves if you have sensitive skin (citric acid can be irritating).

  • Don’t let children handle citric acid unsupervised.

  • Want to add glitter or dried flowers? Place them at the bottom of the mold before packing in the mixture!
