Bath Bombs are Here!

The latest edition to my bath and body line needs little introduction.  Here comes fizzy fun in the form of fabulous bath bombs for your tub or shower.  I discovered that as the seasons changed from the colorful, brisk days of fall to the icy, chilled-to-the-bone days of winter, I was taking more baths than ever!  To my baths I'd add a sprinkling of mineral and epsom salts, as well as a hand-blended medley of oils and fragrances.  One day I encountered a recipe for bath bombs that incorporated both of these!  So off I went, yet again, into Chemist Mode.
From this simple recipe, I've added to my collection wonderful fizzy bath bombs!  They are nearly tennis ball in size, weigh in at approximately 4 hearty ounces and are an amazing addition to my line.  My favorite so far has been the kind I make for myself--I call it the Peppermint Ice Bath Bomb, and it's made with peppermint essential oil.  It leaves the bathroom smelling heavenly!  Sadly it doesn't want to mould well, so I create that guy only for myself at this point.  I will likely turn it into smaller bombs in the near future.

When you drop them in the bath tub, it's amazing what happens!  The chemical reaction between the citric acid (no, it's not dangerous), sodium bicarbonate and water makes for a bubbly, fizzy, effervescent good time!  The almond oil softens the water and the mineral blend is very refreshing and healthy for your skin.  I won't take a bath without one again!

Right now, I can create them in any fragrance you'd like!  However, these are what I have available in my shop:
Lavender
Warm Vanilla Creme (best seller at craft fairs this last holiday!)
Violet and Bergamot

Let me know if you'd like a bomb in any fragrance--I'm happy to make it happen. :)
