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.
