These bath bombs provide a burst of freshness, ideal for starting your day with a boost or winding down with a rejuvenating soak. In this guide, we’ll walk you through making your own peppermint-infused bath bombs at home.

Why Use Peppermint in Your Bath Bombs?

Peppermint is a powerhouse ingredient with multiple benefits. It has natural anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, making it great for soothing irritated skin and reducing redness. The crisp, minty scent of peppermint essential oil helps clear the mind, boost concentration, and relieve headaches or muscle tension. Whether you need an energizing morning bath or a refreshing evening soak, peppermint bath bombs are the perfect solution.

Essential Ingredients for Peppermint Fresh Bath Bombs

To make these refreshing bath bombs, you’ll need:

• 1 cup baking soda – The base ingredient that creates the fizzing reaction.
• 1/2 cup citric acid – Essential for that satisfying bath bomb fizz.
• 1/2 cup cornstarch – Helps the bath bomb hold its shape and adds a silky texture.
• 1/4 cup Epsom salt – Relieves muscle soreness and enhances relaxation.
• 3 tablespoons coconut oil (or almond oil) – Moisturizes the skin and binds the mixture.
• 1 teaspoon water – Just enough moisture to help with shaping.
• 10-15 drops peppermint essential oil – Adds a cool, refreshing scent and skin benefits.
• A few drops of green or white food coloring (optional) – For a fresh, minty look.
• 1 tablespoon crushed peppermint leaves (optional) – Enhances the natural appeal and texture.

Step-by-Step Guide to Making Peppermint Fresh Bath Bombs

Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the baking soda, citric acid, cornstarch, and Epsom salt. Whisk the ingredients together to ensure an even distribution.

Step 2: Prepare the Wet Ingredients

In a separate small bowl, mix the coconut oil, water, peppermint essential oil, and food coloring. Stir well until fully combined.

Step 3: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients while stirring continuously. Be careful to add it gradually to prevent premature fizzing. The final texture should resemble damp sand and hold together when squeezed.

Step 4: Add Peppermint Leaves and Mold

Gently fold in the crushed peppermint leaves before packing the mixture tightly into bath bomb molds. If using a round mold, slightly overfill both halves before pressing them together firmly.

Step 5: Let the Bath Bombs Dry

Carefully remove the bath bombs from the molds and place them on a parchment-lined tray. Let them dry for at least 24 hours in a cool, dry place before use.

Using and Storing Your Peppermint Bath Bombs

Drop a Peppermint Fresh bath bomb into warm water and enjoy the cooling, revitalizing sensation as it fizzes and dissolves. The peppermint essential oil will awaken your senses, while the nourishing oils leave your skin feeling soft and refreshed. Store the bath bombs in an airtight container away from moisture to maintain their freshness and effectiveness.
