If you are a fan of Lush Bath Bombs, I have a DIY Bath Bombs with essential oils recipe you can make yourself. These Pumpkin Spice Bath Bombs are perfect for the fall season.

For me, fall is all about comfort. From comfort food, all things pumpkin and drawing a nice warm bath for some much-needed pampering and relaxation. Pop one of these bad boys in a hot bath to relax after a long day.

I love LUSH bath bombs. But I found the perfect recipe to make at home. Making bath bombs is really easy. You just need a few ingredients and pure essential oils which you can easily find online. Here is how to make your own pumpkin spice bath bombs with natural ingredients.

Bath bombs make great gifts. They are also a great way to pamper yourself at home and practice self-care. Add one to a hot bath for an in-home spa-like experience.

This basic natural bath bomb recipe can be tailored too. Simply add your favorite essential oil of your choice to the basic ingredients for a totally different scent.

Follow the simple tutorial below for how to make your own homemade bath bombs.

What Do I Need To Make Pumpkin Spice Bath Bombs?

Baking soda (this makes the bath bomb fizz)

Citric acid

Bath Bomb Molds (you can also use silicone molds)

Bentonite clay

Epsom salt

Coconut oil

Pumpkin spice essential oil (or pumpkin spice extract)

Polysorbate 80 (this keeps the colorant from sticking to the bathtub)

Red mica powder

Yellow mica powder

Fall sprinkles blend

Rubbing Alcohol

Cornstarch

How To Make Your Own Bath Bombs?

This easy bath bombs recipe is so simple to make.

Whisk together the baking soda, citric acid, clay and Epsom salts in a large bowl.

In a separate bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, essential oil blend and polysorbate 80 together and mix well. Add the liquid mixture one teaspoon at a time to the dry ingredients, mixing it together slowly so as not to start the fizzy reaction. The mixture will look like wet sand.

Add the red and yellow mica powder and stir until the color is consistent throughout. If you would like a more intense color, add more mica powder in one teaspoon increments, stirring between each increment until you have a dark color. Keep in mind that the color will fade a little when the mixture dries.

Dust the bottom halves of the mold with cornstarch. The sprinkle side tends to come out on its own, so do not bother to dust that side with cornstarch. Place about one teaspoon of sprinkles in the non-dusted side of the bath bomb mold.

Immediately pack each side of the bath bomb mold with the mixture. Pack extra bath bomb mixture between the two molds, then press the two sides together, grinding and pressing them to force the two together.

Allow the bath bombs to rest in the mold for up to 24 hours before gently tapping the top and side of the mold to release the bombs.

Use your bath bombs immediately or store in an airtight container until you’re ready to use! Store in a cool place.
