There are bath recipes that utilize Lemon Sunshine Fragrance oil. This fragrance oil has scent similar to that of pure lemon leaving a citrusy and fresh finish. Using this fragrance oil as a bath bomb is best for its invigorating effect that will energize you even if you have a hectic schedule or it is that time the rain brings in some gloom.

What is Bath Bombs ?

Bath Bombs is a mixture of several components that makes fizzing sounds when it hits your tub of bath water. It is stimulating for it is composed of citric acid, baking soda and other elements.

With the components of this blend it takes the bathing experience to a whole new level! It makes bathing not just another bath you take regularly but a more gratifying one!

Ingredient:

1 1/2 Cup of Baking Soda
1/2 Cup of Citric Acid
Witch Hazel
¼ teaspoon Fragrance Oil, you can have Lemon Sunshine or any fruitty flavor
Soap mold in Sunflower model, or if you don't have it, you can put in a bar type mold
Yellow 5 colorants, it's the powder type and put it around 1/8 teaspoon
Mist sprayer

Instructions:

Mix the components thoroughly to ensure the uniformity of the substance. Add the baking soda and the citric acid first. Then, you may add the coloring agent.
Finally add the fragrance oil. You may customize the intensity of the bath blend by adding more of the fragrance oil as desired.
The combination is ready to be spritzed. Spritzed the mixture up to 3-4 times and then stir. Be very careful not to spritz too much before stirring this will ensure the proper consistency of the mixture. It is recommended doing this repeatedly to up to 10 minutes.
The mixture is now ready to be packed into the mold. Make sure that the mixture is pressed properly.
It is recommended that the pressed material be left on the molds or you may put it in the fridge for an hour. After the duration you may tap out the content of the mold and then spritz it with Witch Hazel to create a crust. Though the substance is still fragile the Witch Hazel added will help increase its tenacity.
Store the materials created in a dry place to allow them to dry up. With the standard sized molded bath bomb it may take up to 4 days. If the created bath bombs are smaller than usual it may dry-up up to two days only. Once completely dried the bath bombs may then be packed.

Bath bombs can simply be dropped into the tub of water after you get into it. The fizzling of the bath bomb will induce a release of the desirable scents you personally made yourself ensuring a wonderful and relaxing bath session.

Where to buy the ingredients?

For this recipe, I use fragrance essential oils instead of pure essential oils. Since mountain rose herb doesn't sell fragrance oil, then you have to look for other company. I'd suggest you goto From Nature With Love. They usually have a wide variety of fragrance oils. If they don't have this scent unless you can choose your favorite! For soap molds and the colorants, I think they should have too. Others ingredient can be found in our favorite store. You can take a look at picture below.
