It’s incredibly easy and makes me wonder why I didn’t try making my own a long time now. But no matter, I know now. So, in case anyone else may like to try, here is is super simple recipe. I did need to buy in things to make it, but they aren’t that expensive for what you get and they go a long way.
128g – Baking Soda / Bicarbonate of soda
64g – Cornstarch / Cornflour
64g – Epsom salts
64g – Citric acid
3/4 tbs water
1 tbs essential oils – whichever ones you like, depends on if you want to wake up, relax, destress…
1 tbs jojoba oil / coconut oil
And some food colouring if you would like it to have colour.
- Apart from the citric acid, mix all the dry ingredients together with a whisk.
- Get a small jar or container with a lid and pour in the water, oils and colour and shake well.
- Pour the liquid into the dry mix and use your hand to combine, then add the citric acid.
- The texture should feel something like wet sand.
- Mash the mixture into moulds tightly (i used silicone muffin mould), push in as much as possible.
- Immediately loosen from the moulds onto wax paper/tray so they can dry for a couple of days.
- Then store in a box for use.
