People like to ask me what is a milk bath?
Milk baths have been around for a long time.
This is because adding milk to your bath can be beneficial to your skin.
However, simply adding a carton of milk to your warm water can be a mess and expensive to do.
Using milk bombs is a simple way to make a milk bath and it leaves virtually no mess.
Even better, milk bombs making for a convenient idea for adding milk and other helpful ingredients to your bath all at once.
You may be wondering what kind of milk do you use in a milk bath.
This homemade bath bomb is made using powdered milk.
We are using powdered milk however, when the bomb becomes moist with bathwater, it is just like most any other milk that would be used in a milk bath.
Why use dry milk to make bath bombs and not fresh milk?
Dry milk holds together well which is nice when you are making a cute round ball to give away to others. Also, using powdered milk means that the bombs are shelf safe.
Tips for making homemade bath bombs.
When they hit the water, these bath bombs give a bubbling effect more than a fizzing effect due to the milk. This will go away.
However, milk baths can help to hydrate and soothe your skin.
More tips for you
- Using fresh ingredients is recommended for this project. This is especially true with the citric acid that is added.
- Using dry whole milk is also recommended for this project. Whole milk is more moisturizing to the skin.
- I am using liquid coconut oil as a moisturizer in this bomb. Feel free to use another similar oil such as almond oil if you prefer.

How to make DIY Milk Bath Bombs
Step One: prepare the ingredients.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the baking soda, citric acid, and powdered milk until blended.
This should take about two minutes.
Next, in a clean glass jar that has a lid, blend together the coconut oil and water.
Shake this very well.
Step Two: combine the ingredients.
We are going to add the liquid from the jar to the dry ingredients in the bowl.
I suggest that you do this slowly and while whisking the entire time (takes two hands!).
Continue whisking until the ingredients are all completely combined together.
Step Three: finish the bombs.
Transfer the blended ingredients to the mold halves.
You will need to overfill one of the mold halves.
Then push the mold halves together to make a bomb. Use a slight twist to secure the halves together.
