Like everyone else, we were infinitely impressed by that mesmerizing video of a black bath bomb in action. However, because that short clip went viral, it quickly became impossible to snap up a similar product for ourselves. We (and our dreams of becoming a gothic bath beauty) were crushed!
Thankfully, the DIY-obsessed team behind the YouTube channel ThreadBanger came up with a video tutorial on how to whip up your own brooding bath bomb at home. After a few (hilarious) failed attempts, they came up with the perfect recipe that dramatically transformed the bathwater into a mysterious steaming cauldron. After watching the hilarious video, use the instructions below to make your own, then learn to make more bath bombs here.
Black Bath Bomb DIY
- 1/2 cup of baking soda
- 1/4 cup of citric acid
- 1/4 cup of cornstarch
- 1/4 cup of epsom salt
- 1 tablespoon of activated charcoal
- 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon of water
- Approximately 1 teaspoon of black gel food coloring - ThreadBanger used Wilton Black Icing Color ($2)
In a large bowl, combine your dry ingredients with a whisk. Set aside. Pour the vegetable oil, water, and 1/2 a teaspoon of the food coloring into a spray bottle and shake to mix. Carefully spritz your dry ingredients with the liquid, mixing with the whisk until the consistency is similar to that of damp sand. Pack your mixture tightly into a bath bomb mold (you can buy some on Etsy here) and let it set for 10 minutes. Remove your finished bomb from its mold and let it dry overnight, then enjoy!
