I am a bath fanatic. I adore bubble bath, bath bombs, bath salts, and anything else that makes my bath feel more like an amazing spa experience.
I also really love making my own homemade bath and beauty products like this coconut oil sugar scrub that smells just like a sugar cookie! It's relatively quick and easy, and more affordable than shopping at an expensive bath and body store.

- baking soda
- epsom salt
- cornstarch
- citric acid

How to Make Rose Petal Bath Bombs
Here's how to make your own DIY bath bombs using dried rose petals.
- In a small bowl, combine the baking soda, Epsom salts, corn starch, and citrus acid. Mix to combine.
- Slowly whisk in the wet ingredients.
- Add the essential oil while stirring.
- Place some of the dried rose petals into the bottom of the mold.
- Gently spoon the bath bomb mixture into the mold. Press the mixture firmly into the mold.
- Allow the rose petal bath bombs to set for 4-6 hours.
- Carefully unmold the bath bombs and store them in an airtight container.
Variations
- If you don't have a bath bomb mold, you can ice cube trays instead.
- Add a little bit of vitamin E oil or rose hip oil.
- If you like, substitute the plain water for rose water.
- To add color to your homemade bath bombs, use a little bit of beet powder.
