Next, moving on to the wet ingredients, mix 3 tsp castor oil, 1 tbsp essential oil, some soap coloring (or food coloring), and 1 tbsp of water. Mix them nicely. After this, mix everything.

Put the two sides of the mold together. make sure it snaps. Let them dry overnight. (If you want to use the bath bombs right away, put them in the fridge for about 30 minutes.)
