Tips to Make Flower Bath Bombs
- Be sure to let these rose bath bombs dry for at least 24 hours to get the most fizzy for your effort.
- Store or gift these in an air-tight container.
- Never use food coloring as it can stain skin and the bathtub. Use mica powder or soap colorant.
- If you’re having trouble getting a bath bomb to hold it’s shape, its likely because it’s not wet enough. See this article on trouble-shooting bath bombs and shower fizzies to find out your options to remake them.

Rose Petal Bath Bombs
I love how easy it is to make rose petal bath bombs. They're fun and smell so beautiful, I just loved giving these to my neighbor!
Materials
- 1 cup baking soda
- 1/2 cup citric acid
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 cup solid coconut oil
- Rose essential oil
- Pink mica powder
- Dried roses
Tools
- Spray bottle of rubbing alcohol
- 1 large mixing bowl
- Bath Bombs molds
Instructions
- Add all of your dry ingredients to a large bowl and whisk them together.
- To the whisked together dry ingredients, add the mica powder, essential oil and about 1/8 of a cup of the dried rose petals. If you need to make your rose petals smaller and easier to manage, you can put them in the food processor to break them down some.
- Whisk together the mixture again until it feels like wet sand and can be pressed together and it stays together. To make the mixture wet enough, you may want to spray it with the rubbing alcohol.
- Add a small pinch of roses to one side of a mold and then pack in the bath bomb mixture on top of it until the mold is overflowing. Add the bath bomb mixture to the other mold and fully press the two halves of the bath bomb mold together, using a twisting and grinding motion. After you have the bath bomb mold together, gently tap the top of each mold and gently pull the bomb from mold. Place the bath bombs onto parchment paper lined baking sheet. Allow the bath bombs to dry fully. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.
