Nothing says luxury like a warm bath filled with milky bubbles, delicately scented with roses.
When Your Bath Bomb Mix Doesn’t Work
But what if your bath bomb mix doesn’t turn out as expected? it’s not the end of the world. No worries—¡no pasa nada! Just scoop it into your ice cream scooper instead, and voilà—you’ve made bath scoops! They still provide the same luxurious benefits, and they look just as cute in your bathroom.
Why Bath Scoop Bubbles?
Bath scoop bubbles are a twist on traditional bath bombs. They provide the same benefits but are molded into scoop shapes using an ice cream scoop, making them look adorable and easy to use. When you drop them into your bath, they dissolve slowly, releasing skin-loving ingredients that create milky, soft bubbles with a gentle hint of rose fragrance. Plus, they’re made with organic, natural ingredients like whole milk and goat milk for a rich, nourishing bath.

In Case You Want to Make the Mix from Scratch: Here’s the Recipe
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 cup Whole Milk Powder: Rich in fats and proteins, whole milk powder deeply hydrates and softens the skin, leaving it smooth and supple.
- 1 cup Goat Milk Powder: Goat milk is naturally high in vitamins and minerals, helping to soothe and moisturize dry, sensitive skin.
- 1 cup Baking Soda: This helps create that delightful fizz in the bath and neutralizes acids on the skin, leaving it refreshed.
- 1/2 cup Citric Acid: Essential for the fizzing reaction and helps soften hard water, making your skin feel silky smooth.
- 1/2 cup Cornstarch: Adds a silky texture to the bathwater, creating a luxurious feel.
- 2 tbsp Cocoa Butter: Melts into the water, deeply moisturizing your skin while adding a smooth, creamy texture to the bath scoops.
- 2 tbsp Coconut Oil: Helps to bind the mixture while providing additional moisture to your skin.
- 1 tbsp Emulsifying Wax: Ensures that the oils mix properly with the bathwater instead of floating on top.
- 2 tbsp Rose Petals: Adds a touch of elegance and a natural, light rose scent.
- 10-15 drops Rose Essential Oil: Enhances the scent and brings soothing aromatherapy benefits.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Prepare Your Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole milk powder, goat milk powder, baking soda, citric acid, and cornstarch. Whisk until fully blended.
Melt Your Oils:
In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, gently melt the cocoa butter and coconut oil together. Once melted, stir in the emulsifying wax until fully incorporated.
Combine the Ingredients:
Slowly pour the melted oils into the dry ingredients, mixing continuously with a spoon or your hands. The mixture should hold together when squeezed. If it’s too dry, add a tiny bit more coconut oil until it reaches the right consistency.
Add Fragrance and Florals:
Stir in the rose petals and rose essential oil. The rose petals add a subtle visual appeal while the essential oil infuses the scoops with a soft floral aroma.
Shape Your Scoops:
Use a mini ice cream scoop to form your bath scoops. Gently press the mixture into the scoop.
Then release it onto a lined baking sheet.
If your mixture is too crumbly to hold the shape, don’t worry—just add a tiny bit more coconut oil.
Let Them Dry:
Allow your bath scoops to dry for at least 24 hours. This helps them harden so they hold their shape until bath time.
