By now, you all know that I try to find as many ways to incorporate coconut oil into our daily lives. Since I enjoy a good bath (it’s my only chance to get 15 mostly uninterrupted minutes a few nights a week), I like to make a large batch of bath bombs using coconut oil. My other secret ingredient is herb infused water!
These coconut oil bath bombs feel incredible once they dissolve in the water. They are fun to make and easy for children to help with. They are also a great addition to your children’s bath as well, especially since you can make them with soothing herbs and essential oils.

How to make herb infused water
Notes
One of my favorite herb blends is thyme and lemongrass with lavender essential oils. This is a divine bath experience! Another great one is cinnamon and clove infused water with patchouli essential oil.
Where can you find the herbs to make these coconut oil bath bombs?
I get most of my herbs from my affiliate partner Amazon. I love the Frontier brand and Starwest Botanical brand available from Amazon.

Hi! This looks like an awesome recipe and I cannot WAIT to try it out! I have been slightly confused about the stability of extra virgin coconut oil though…and since I plan on selling bath bombs at craft shows and online I am trying to find out..how long can a product such as this made w/ coconut oil be kept without the oil going rancid? And is there any specific storage precautions I should take? Thank you!

Hi Claire! Coconut Oil is a great oil to use because of its stability. It certainly could go rancid but in general, it is shelf stable for decades. As a rule of thumb, when it comes to homemade bath and body products, I suggest using it within 6 months. You always want to store homemade products in an airtight container way from light and in a cool location.

This worked great. To make the infused water I used fillable tea filters (from our $ store) so I didn’t have to strain the tea. Also I put the infused water in a spray bottle (also from the $ store). This spray method seemed to work better for me as I had more control over the amount being added.
Jennifer says
Great idea with the tea!

I wanted to make these for stocking stuffers at Christmas this year unfortunately this recipe was a total bust 😛 !! I followed the directions to a T but after pressing the mixture into moulds, it kept reacting for hours to follow, spilling out over the moulds … I kept trying to press them back down after a while but no luck. What a bummer!
Jennifer says
So weird! Someone literally commented a few hours before you indicating how great they turned out. I am of course always curious when things don’t work right. I am terribly sorry that happened!
