How To Make CBD Bath Bombs
These CBD bath bombs combine the relaxing effects of CBD with the skin-soothing and hydrating effects of lavender essential oil, Epsom salts, and coconut oil.
Yield: 2 bath bombs
Cost: $10
Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Bath bomb mold (or a mold of your choice, such as a muffin tin, clean yogurt cup, silicon mold, ice cube tray)
Materials
- 2 cups baking soda
- ¾ cup citric acid
- ½ cup Epsom salts
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil (add more if needed)
- 1 teaspoon sweet almond oil (or jojoba or olive oil)
- 30 drops lavender essential oil
- 25 milligrams CBD oil
Instructions
- Combine the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Whisk well to remove any clumps.
- Slowly add the oils and mix again. You may want to use your hands to break apart any clumps and ensure the oils get evenly dispersed.
- If needed, add more coconut oil until the mixture is the consistency of wet sand.
- Sprinkle some Epsom salts into one side of your bath bomb mold.
- Scoop spoonfuls of the baking soda mixture into both sides of the mold, packing it down every now and then, until slightly overflowing.
- Press the two sides together and brush away any extra baking soda mixture around the seam.
- Let your bath bombs rest overnight (if you’re in a hurry, place them in the refrigerator for 30 minutes) before removing from the mold.
Notes
Most bath bombs I have seen on the market contain between 25 mg and 100 mg of CBD. To be safe, I recommend starting with 25 mg and seeing how it affects you. If you’re especially stressed and 25 mg isn’t enough, go ahead and add more. But since CBD varies widely in terms of strength, the exact amount you’ll need will depend on the brand.
To use, fill the tub with water. Drop a bath bomb into the water, either before or after getting in. Then, relax!
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.
