My kids and I both love baths. They like to play in the tub, I like to soak! We all love bath fizzies though! And these Heart DIY Bath Fizzies make great gifts! All ages love these heart bath fizzies. Kids love the cool effect of the fizz and adults enjoy the spa like feel and the natural, relaxing scent from the essential oils used. What makes this recipe great is that all natural ingredients are used so these natural bath fizzies are great for the skin. It is easy to make bath fizzies and these moisturize and soothe dry skin as well as leave it soft and nourished after you get out of the tub.
You can make bath fizzies in about 10-15 minutes but you should let them dry out overnight before you use them. If you read the DIY bath fizzies ingredients list, it is all stuff you probably have around the house except for citric acid. You can order that online or pick it up at some grocery stores. Citric acid is naturally found in juice of citrus and it actually really good for the skin. It is thought to be beneficial everything from mild acne to lessening wrinkles and dark spots. It is a completely natural ingredient in this bath fizzy recipe.

Instructions For How To Make Bath Fizzies:
Grab all your materials and head to the kitchen counter to make bath fizzies. This recipe makes 5-6 homemade bath fizzies.
Start with your dry ingredients. In your mixing bowl, add 8 oz of baking soda, 4 oz of epsom salt, 4 oz of corn starch and 4 oz of citric acid. Gently mix those together.
Next, in a small bowl, add your wet ingredients. 2 tsp of lavender essential oil, 3/4 tsp of water and 1 tsp of coconut oil are mixed in the small bowl.
Feel free to use a combination of essential oils that are fragrant and good for the skin like lavender and orange or lavender and lime. I am a Young Living distributor so if you want to order them though me, you can do so here.
Once those are mixed well, add the liquid to your dry ingredients and stir together very well. Once everything is mixed, start packing the mixture into your molds.
I grabbed my mold at Michael’s Craft Store. It’s actually a heart muffin pan. You can use whatever mold you would like but I suggest it be metal and not flimsy.
Once the mixture is packed, lay out a soft towel on the counter and a piece of parchment paper on top (this helps prevent towel marks from being left on your fizzie). You will use this in the next step.
After you have let your fizzies dry for 10-15 minutes, flip your mold over on to the parchment paper and the fizzies should fall right out. You might have to gently tap the bottom if one or two are stuck.
Let them dry on the towel and parchment for 24 hours before sending them out as gifts or before using one.
