Bath Fizzies recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon fractionated coconut or olive oil
- Several drops essential oil (4-10 depending on the oil and how strong you like it)
- 1 cup baking soda
- 1/2 cup citric acid
- 1/2 cup corn starch
- 1 tablespoon water
- Cellophane bag/ribbon
Directions
- Mix fractionated coconut oil and essential oil together in a bowl.
- Mix baking soda, cornstarch and citric acid together in a separate bowl.
- Make an indention in the center of the mixture and drizzle the coconut oil mixture into the indentation, then mix well.
- Add water a little at a time and blend. Adding water causes the fizzing. The cornstarch works as a dry filler. You want it to absorb the water into the cornstarch as much as possible so the fizzie does not fizz while you are mixing the ingredients.
- Once blended, scoop out 1 tablespoon of mixture. Shape into balls squeezing tightly. You can also use a mold, such as a decorative cookie mold. Great activity for kids! (You can even pack the mixture into paper cups.)
- Allow to dry overnight before packaging.
- Place in cellophane bags and tie off with ribbon or use the self-sealing bags from Dollerama.

- Carrier oil to fill 80% of bottle of choice.
- Copaiba
- Essential oil to pair: Choose from Roman Chamomile, Cedarwood, Frankincense, or Ylang Ylang oil

Directions:
1. Add Copaiba essential oil with other choice of essential oil to roller bottle.
2. Top of the bottle with carrier oil.
