For the person who wanted to know where to find essiential oils - I find lavendar, eucalyptus and tea tree oils in the supermarket in the same aisle as the cough medications. The Chemist may also have a selection.
I have looked and looked but i can't find essential oil or fragrance oil anywhere! I really want to make my mom some Bath Bombs for her Birthday. Can somebody please give me some pointers as to where they would be found?
the citric acid is important it gives the fizzie effect when put in water
has anyone tried using cupcake papers or candy wraps for gifting?
awsome
It's lavender essential oil or fragrance oil.
Can I do this without the citric acid? What does the citric acid do?
