BUT, we were still able to do a fun demonstration and record it for you to see the general idea. Inspired by the illuminating charm, Lumos, these shimmer drops will help give your skin some extra sparkle. Harry Potter lip crayons So why don’t bath bombs react right away like they do in our other experiments? For the reaction to happen we need to add water. In our other experiments we usually use vinegar as our acid which already has water to activate the reaction. When making bath bombs our citric acid and baking soda (base) are in dry powder form. They can mingle without any reaction. That is until we add the all important… water!

In the microwave safe container melt the coconut oil in the microwave. Just heat until it becomes liquid. Don’t let it boil. Now a few of these started out with one inspiration, but over time have taken on a new Harry Potter themed inspiration. Sometimes I write the articles using a non-Harry theme, but today I am sharing our magical interpretations of some tried and true bath bomb recipes! Pour the liquid ingredients into the large bowl with the dry ingredients. Using your hands mix everything together. This may take a few minutes of really working the mixture to evenly disperse all the oils throughout the dry ingredients. Break up any lumps.

Add water, 1/2 teaspoon at a time, mixing after each addition of water. Do not add too much water or it will not set properly! If you are trying to reduce your footprint, I highly recommend using a biodegradable glitter or not using glitter at all in your bath bombs.
