These quick & easy DIY Citrus Fizz Bath Bombs are super simple to make, and they’re a fantastic homemade gift idea for Mother’s Day, birthdays and more! 

Grapefruit Citrus Fizzy Bath BombsThis post may contain affiliate links

What You’ll Need: 

  • 1/2 cup Citric Acid
  • 1 cup Baking Soda
  • 2 tbsp Shea Butter, melted
  • Essential Oils (I used Grapefruit and Citrus Fresh, 10 drops each)
  • Bath Color Tablets (optional), crushed
  • Spray bottle with a small amount of water

Making Citrus Fizzy Bath Bombs for an Easy DIY Mother's Day Gift

Mix together the citric acid and baking soda. Melt the shea butter in the microwave, and add it to the dry mixture along with the essential oils. Stir in the crushed color tablets if desired. The mixture will likely be too dry and crumbly to hold together, so you’ll need to add just a teeny bit of water. Spray the mixture 3-5 times with the spray bottle of water, stirring well after each spritz, until you are able to squeeze the mixture and have it hold together (it will still look dry and powdery though!). Adding water is the catalyst to the fizzing reaction, so make sure that the bottle is set to spray a fine mist, and only use the minimal amount necessary to achieve the correct consistency.

How to Make Your Own Easy DIY Fizzy Bath BombsFirmly pack the mixture into mini muffin tins or shaped silicone molds. Allow to dry for at least 4-6 hours before removing from the molds (I like to leave mine to dry and harden overnight).

Grapefruit Citrus Fizzy Bath Bomb HeartsThese are SO simple to make that my 4-year-old made this batch almost entirely by himself!

Easy DIY Gift Idea - Fizzy Bath BombsStore the bath bombs in cellophane or a plastic bag to keep moisture out until bath time.

    What other things can you use in place of the Shea butter?

      The number of bath bombs that this recipe will yield depends entirely on the mold that you use. This recipe made 21 bath bombs when I used it with a mini muffin tin and a heart pan of similar size. ๐Ÿ™‚
