“Holly Berries Bath Bomb”
By: Emilee Hughes, Certified Aromatherapist
KidSafe: Yes
After the stressful days of holiday shopping have come and gone we could all use a bit of a reprieve and what better way to relax than by soaking in a soothing and calming bath. Holly Berries is the perfect blend to bring peace to the mind and enhance comfort. When used in a bath bomb this can truly be a gift that keeps on giving.
Holly Berries Description:
Often used during meditation, Juniper Berry provides a sense of calming tranquility. When used in a bath it provides relief from discomfort and aids with the clearing of congestion. Fragonia instills a sense of peace and balance allowing us to feel relaxed and centered. It offers respiratory support to this blend and provides relief from muscle soreness. The addition of Bergamot and Orange Blood uplifts the spirit, discourages sadness, and brings a cheerful note to the mix. The synergy of these joyous and relaxing oils would put a smile on the face of even the Grinch himself.

When you say, “I added my oil in three different parts”, do you mean you mixed 1/3 of the oil into the dry mixture until thoroughly mixed, then did the same with the second 1/3, then again with the final 1/3?
Yep!
How many bath bombs do you get out of this recipe??? How big are your molds?
We used three different sizes so how many you get would depend on the size of your mold. Here’s the set we used with this recipe; https://www.amazon.com/Homemade-Relaxation-Handmade-Chocolate-Fabulous/dp/B01CN6OHR0?ie=UTF8&keywords=bath%20bomb%20molds&qid=1465231390&ref_=sr_1_14&sr=8-14&tag=africaheorg-20
Hope this is open to Canadian fans too!!
Would love to win these oils! It sounds amazing!
I could share the love by making roller bottles with this blend for gifts!!
Personal inhalers and roller bottles are two of my favorite ways to share amazing scent blends with my friends. Great idea!
What oil could I substitute for avocado oil as I’m deathly allergic to avocados? Thank you!
Yikes!! We definitely do not want that!! You might consider Hemp Seed or Jojoba instead.
Step 4 says – Firmly press mixture into each side of the mold with extra.
did something get cut off? Firmly press mixture into each side of the mold with extra. ~ what??
help! I want to make this soon! Love it!
Great question Theresa! You just want to be sure to have extra mixture in the mold (maybe heaping would be a better term) so that when you press the molds together all the nooks and crannies of the molds are completely filled 🙂
Wonderful!! Thank you 🙂
I can almost smell that wonderful aroma from here! Thank you for doing this! Woo Hoo!!
