What is CBD?
Before we get into the CBD bath bomb recipe, allow us to offer a refresher of exactly what CBD is and its health benefits. CBD or Cannabidiol, is a chemical compound found in the hemp plant; the compound is heavily sought after because of its uncanny health-promoting benefits. Subsequently, as a result of CBD’s popularity, the hemp plant is planted and cultivated for the expressed purpose of extracting the lone chemical compound—cannabidiol. And if you are worried about the substance causing you to feel intoxicated, you can rest assured because tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is removed from the product ever before the product gets to you.
How is CBD beneficial?
CBD contains many healing properties—capable of treating the symptoms of serious maladies like rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, muscle soreness, depression, and much more. However, for the purposes of the bath bomb we will focus on the benefits relevant to it. CBD is an all-natural anti-inflammatory; this means that CBD is remarkable at reducing swelling. As you can imagine, this property does a number of sore muscles and body aches. Not only this, but CBD bath bombs also relax your body and significantly reduce any muscle pains that may have occurred throughout your busy day.
CBD bath bomb ingredients:
For your CBD bath bomb you will need the following ingredients: 2 oz (60 ml) corn starch, 2 oz (60 ml) Epsom salt, 1 tsp coconut oil, 4 oz (118 ml) baking soda, 5-10 drops of essential oil of your choice, 2 oz (60 ml) citric acid, 1 tsp water, 200 mg CBD (store-bought CBD bath bombs usually contain 100mg each) and the food coloring is optional. You will also need a mixing bowl and bath bomb moulds.
Next, you will mix the dry ingredients together. Afterward, you will melt some coconut oil so that it is liquid; then mix the melted coconut oil with the other liquid ingredients. Mix the remaining liquid ingredients into the bowl. Take this mix and place it into the molds and fill each side of the bath bomb moulds with the mixture so that they’re slightly overflowing. Then press the two sides of the bath bomb mold together. Gently take off the top half of the mould, and leave the bath bomb to dry out a little, sitting in the bottom half of the mould. Finally take the last of the mould off and allow the bath bomb to dry. Be sure to leave your mould in a dry place until you are ready to use it.
