Bath bombs are a ton of fun, but they can be a bit of a pain to make. It's been humid here, so making any is completely out of the question as the humidity is just too high.
This DIY unicorn bath powder recipe is kinda like a bath bomb in a jar, and it's so easy to make. It's just as fun with the fizzy action, but you don't need any molds or special equipment to make it.
This is sometimes called a bath crumble recipe because it's little crumbles that you add to the bath. Sometimes it's called a bath bomb powder recipe since it has the same ingredients.

BAKING SODA
The main ingredient in this homemade bath powder is baking soda
So, yes, this bath powder will fizz like a bath bomb when you add it to the water.
Baking soda also helps soften water. If you have hard water, it will make a big difference in how the water feels.
It's also soothing and can help reduce irritation from the skin, including irritation from eczema.
EPSOM SALTS
Most people don't get enough magnesium, but it can be absorbed through the skin. That's why I usually add Epsom salts
Magnesium can boost serotonin levels in the brain, which boosts your mood. Adding magnesium can help boost your mood and energy.
They are also said to help reduce inflammation and promote skin healing.
CITRIC ACID
When citric acid
Citric acid will absorb moisture from the air, so it's important to keep this bath crumble recipe covered or otherwise sealed. They will turn to mush in just a few hours if it's humid.
MANGO BUTTER
Mango butter
I like mango butter because it's not very greasy. It's absorbed quickly into the skin in this bath dust recipe.
It moisturizes the skin, so it's a great addition to this bath crumble recipe.
You can also use coconut oil, shea butter, or cocoa butter for your bath bomb powder recipe.

UNICORN KISSES NATURAL FRAGRANCE OIL
Crafty Bubbles, which is changing their name to Right Note so expect to see both labels in the future, has some amazing new natural fragrance oils.
I love my essential oils, but I missed having some scents that weren't available in a natural product. Now they have a natural apple, blueberry, and more.
I asked the owner to make me a unicorn blend, and he just released Unicorn Kisses. It's a fun blend of fruits and berries.
It's only available in their catalog, but you can call or email them to order. It's also available in their Bakery set of natural fragrance oils and essential oils.
You can also make your own unicorn blend with essential oils. I would try
- 5 drops of grapefruit
- drops tangerine
- 2 drops spearmint
- 1 drop ylang ylang

PACKAGING
I used a cute jar that I had for this cute DIY moisturizing unicorn bath powder recipe. If I were selling it or giving it as a gift, I'd use the see through bags.
I think they are better suited for the bath because I don't like using glass in the bath.
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup baking soda
- 1/4 cup Epsom salts
- 1/4 cup citric acid
- 2 teaspoons mango butter
- Soap colorant
- 8-12 drops Unicorn Kisses natural fragrance oil
DIRECTIONS
STEP #1
Combine the baking soda, Epsom salts, and citric acid in a medium sized bowl. Stir well to combine.
STEP #2
Separate into smaller bowls to add the colorant. I used yellow, blue, pink, and purple for my unicorn bath powder recipe.
STEP #3
Melt and mango butter in the microwave for 30 seconds. Add the Unicorn Kisses natural fragrance oil blend and stir well.
STEP #4
Carefully pour the melted mango butter over the powder. I used a spoon so it would be easier to control.
You want to drizzle the melted butter over the dry to make clumps. There will still be some powder left. That's what gives this the fun texture.
STEP #5
Let sit until the mango butter hardens. I put the bowls in the fridge for 15 minutes.
STEP #6
Use a spoon to layer the colors in a jar or bag. Or combine them all. It's up to you. Be sure to cover or close these quick because they will absorb moisture from the air.
To use, add up to 1/4 cup to a bath. The citric acid fizzes, and the mango butter moisturizes your skin. Now you know how to make bath dust!
