How to make DIY Snowflake Bath Bombs
To start, preheat your oven to 140°. Whisk your baking soda, citric acid and corn starch in a large glass or metal bowl. Add the coconut oil, peppermint essential oil and blue soap colorant. Stir well until you have achieved your desired shade of blue.
Transfer the mixture into the silicone mold and fill each mold, up to the top. The mixture will look and feel like sand granules. Place the mold on a cookie sheet and into the preheated oven. Turn the oven off and leave the door closed for 1 hour. Remove the silicone mold from the oven and immediately place the snowflake icing decorations into the middle of each bath bomb, pressing down gently.
Allow the bath bombs to air dry for an additional 8 hours. Carefully pop the bath bombs out of their molds and store in a mason jar or other airtight glass container.
