Ingredients & Supplies For Chocolate Rose Bath Bombs

Before you get started, gather all of your ingredients and supplies. Here’s what you’ll need:

Supplies

Bath Bomb Molds – I used the medium size of these molds. You can use any size you like. If you use the same size, you should end up with 3 and 1/2 bath bombs.

You could make this without the molds and just your hands to press the mixture into a compact ball, just know they won’t be quite as uniform looking.

Ingredients for Rose Chocolate Bath Bombs

You’ll need the following ingredients to make these Rose Chocolate Bath Bombs:

• Cornstarch
• Baking Soda
• Epsom Salt (unscented)
• Citric Acid
• Carrier Oil (ex: Jojoba Oil, Avocado Oil, Fractionated Coconut Oil)
• Rose Essential Oil – True Rose Oil can be pricey. Geranium is a less expensive option.
• Cocoa Powder
• Raw Cocoa Butter
• Dried Rose Petals

I recommend gathering all your ingredients and having them ready to go to make the process of making these go smoothly.

How to Make Chocolate Rose Bath Bombs

The first step is to combine the cornstarch, baking soda, and Epsom salt in a large bowl. Mix well and set aside.

Next, In a separate small bowl, add the essential oil drops to the carrier oil and stir to combine

Once the texture is right, gently mix in the citric acid.

Next, add the cocoa powder a little at a time, mixing until you reach your desired color.

Once you are happy with the color, it’s time to pack the mixture into the bath bomb molds.

You want to pack the mixture tightly into both halves of the bath bomb mold, slightly overfilling each side. I like to press down with the palm of my hand to make sure it’s packed tightly.

Then, press the two halves together firmly and twist together until the mold edges touch. Press firmly to make sure the mixture is packed tightly so that it doesn’t fall apart once you remove the mold.

Now, it’s time to unmold. To do this, carefully remove one side of the mold, then the other, and place the bath bomb on a flat surface. I usually line a cookie sheet with unbleached parchment paper and set them on this.

Allow the bath bombs to dry undisturbed for at least 24 hours, or until fully hardened. If they feel crumbly, let them sit longer.

Once the bath bombs have dried, it’s time to drizzle the cocoa mixture on top.

To do this, melt a small amount of cocoa butter with a teaspoon of cocoa powder. You can do this using either a double boiler or in the microwave for a few seconds at a time stirring in between.

Let it cool for a few minutes, then drizzle over the tops of the bath bombs.

Have your dried rose petals on stand by and sprinkle some on tip before the drizzled mixture cools and hardens.

Voila – the finished product:

To use your bath bomb, simply set one or two in warm bath water. You can sprinkle more dried rose petals to your bath water for even more of an indulgence.
