Shark Bath Bombs

About This Recipe:

We were inspired by shark week and made shark inspired bath bombs. These bath bombs include red embeds that are noticeable when the bath bomb is used. It appears as though there was a shark encounter! There are also luxurious ingredients such as shea butter and argan oil in the recipe.
