How to Make Bath Bombs: Step-by-Step

1. In a bowl, mix dry ingredients with your fingers, breaking up lumps for a sandy texture.
2. Gradually add liquids, mixing gently to avoid premature fizzing—the mix may sizzle slightly.
3. Lightly oil the mold halves. Pack mixture firmly into each, pressing tightly for solid bombs.
4. Let set for 24 hours, then gently tap to release. If stuck, tap lightly until it pops free.
