VIDEO Bon bon bath bombs in action!

I've used tangerine essential oil and micas for the colours. I was afraid I have gone too far with the amount of micas : apparently they might turn the bath tub in a mess ! I've eventually used them and I have to admit that  it's true that micas leave a halo on the sink edge, but it gets away with a bit of clean tap water!!!

Lemon bath bombs made with Lemon Superb fragrance , food-grade yellow liquid colour, marigold (calendula) dried petals and edible gold flakes.

1. Mix Sodium bicarbonate and citric acid (3:1 or 2:1 work well) 2. Add Ultramarine violet powder , dried cornflower petals, strawberry fragrance, cristalline and silver glitters and mix well 3. Keep mixing and spritz some water (but not too much) 4. Spritz and mix until you can mold the mixture by squeezing it in a hand. 4. Put the mixture in the desired mold, press well the two halves of the mold, unmold 5. let the bath bombs dry on a layer of cooking paper 6. HAPPY BATHING!!!
