- Measure 1/2 cup of citric acid and add it to the bowl with the baking soda and the SLSa.
- Using a stand mixer, mix all the ingredients together on low speed for 2 to 3 minutes to make sure they are blended well. As an alternative, you can use a spatula to stir all the ingredients together.
- Measure 1/4 cup of Babassu oil and add it to a separate small bowl.

- Pour the babassu oil and polysorbate mixture into the bowl that contains your baking soda, SLSa, and citric acid. Use either a stand mixer or a spatula to mix the ingredients together.
- Once the desired consistency is reached, separate the bath bomb mix into 4 separate bowls.
- Add your first color into one of the 4 bowls that contain the bath bomb mixture and mix in the color by stirring with a spoon or you can use your hands to mix in the color if you are wearing gloves. Repeat this step for each of the remaining bowls until you have 4 different colors.
- Start adding each color of the bath bomb mixture into the mold until each half of the mold is filled.
- Once each half of the mold is filled and packed tightly with the bath bomb mix, press each half of the mold together and place it in a safe location for the bath bombs to dry for 24 hours.
- After 24 hours remove the bath bombs from the molds.
