Warming Bath Bomb Recipe with Ginger & Oatmeal

Bath bombs sit on rolled oats with ginger root and a bottle of ginger powder nearby

The tropical plant known as Ginger (Zingiber offcinale,) has been grown and used since ancient times. Today, the spice has never been more popular and is used in culinary dishes, for health and wellness, and even for skin care. Ginger is a popular ingredient in bath products, especially in bath salts and bath bombs for its ability to boost energy, warm the body, and support stress. Ginger is a powerful ingredient that also increases circulation and allows the body to cleanse itself. Taking a ginger bath is the perfect way to relax your hard-working body at the end of a busy day. These fizzing bath bombs also contain oatmeal which is naturally soothing to your skin and can be used as a soap alternative for cleansing.  


Warming Bath Bomb Recipe with Ginger & Oatmeal

Yield: 16 ounces, approximately 6 bath bombs.


Ingredients


Directions

  1. Add baking soda, citric acid, oats, and ginger powder to a large mixing bowl and mix well. 
  2. Slowly add the coconut oil until you have a loose mixture that holds together when squeezed in the palm of your hand. It should resemble wet sand. 
  3. If after adding the oil, it still won't clump, slowly spritz mixture with witch hazel to help it bind.  Only do one or two mists as a time, you want it as dry as possible, while still being able to stick together. 
  4. Pack the mixture into muffin tins or bath bomb molds.
  5. Let sit for several hours or overnight until solid. 


To Use: Drop one bath bomb into a warm bath and soak for at least 20 minutes. Store extra bath bombs in an air-tight container in a cool, dry spot.
