Get ready for fizzy fun: we are making bath bombs! It often takes more than six months and a team of chemists to develop personal care products. We will make bath bombs while learning about product development and the chemistry behind these fizzy products!

Preparation for 2 bath bombs: baking soda (1 cup), citric acid (3/4 cup), cornstarch (2/3 cup), water, measuring cups (1/4 cup, 1/3 cup), measuring spoons, gloves, clean surface to work on, silicone molds (or cookie cutters with plastic wrap or small bowl with tin foil), one (1) large mixing bowl, three (3) small bowls, mixing spoons. Optional: Epson salt (1 cup), food colouring.

Expert: Lexie Griffith is a cosmetic chemist whose work involves formulating cosmetics and personal care products.
