Bath bomb supplies for twelve party favors

Who this list is for

This supply list is for anyone making a dozen bath bombs as party favors. It’s ideal for hosts, crafters, or parents planning a party who want to create small, handmade gifts with cosmetic-grade ingredients. If you’re new to bath bomb making or want to avoid missing key supplies, this checklist will keep you organized from start to finish.

How to use this list

Start by preparing a dry, clean workspace. Lay out your ingredients: baking soda, citric acid, cornstarch, Epsom salt, melted coconut oil, and witch hazel in a spray bottle. Set out your tools—measuring cups and spoons, a large mixing bowl, and a fine mesh sieve for lump-free mixing. Gather metal bath bomb molds, disposable gloves, and cellophane treat bags for packaging. Cross off each item as you set it out to avoid missing anything mid-recipe.

Common mistakes

One common mistake is skipping the sieve, which can leave lumps in your mix. Don’t forget gloves, especially if you use colorants or fragrance oils. Using too much liquid can cause the mixture to fizz early—measure carefully. Another pitfall is not having enough molds or packaging, which can slow down the process or leave finished bombs unprotected.

What is on this list

You’ll find baking soda, citric acid, cornstarch, Epsom salt, coconut oil, witch hazel, fragrance oil, and cosmetic mica colorant. The tools include metal bath bomb molds, a large mixing bowl, a fine mesh sieve, measuring cups and spoons, and disposable gloves. For packaging, cellophane treat bags are included. Cross off what you already have in your kitchen or craft supplies before shopping.

After the session

Once you finish, let the bath bombs dry fully before packaging them in the cellophane treat bags. Clean your workspace and tools right away—citric acid and oils can leave residue. Store finished favors in a cool, dry place until your event. Double-check that each bomb is securely wrapped before handing them out.
