2. Stir in the cup of corn starch. Mix well. You will notice that the VapoRub takes a little time to soften. Just be patient and continue to stir until it meshes well with the corn starch.
3. Add in the two tablespoons of water. As you mix, you may feel the need to add more. If so, don’t add more than a teaspoon at a time.
4. When your mixture is smooth and even, add in a drop of green and a drop of blue soap colorant. Continue to stir. This step of course is optional. Adding the color will not harm your bathtub or your water, so feel free to use it or omit it.

Yes, you can keep your shower bombs in an air tight container and keep them in the freezer until you are ready to use. I recommend using them within 6 months of making them.
Will Vicks Vaporub clog my drain?
I think the amount of vaporub in each shower bomb is so small that the water flushes the drain clear of any vicks that tries to linger. If you are nervous about it you can sprinkle a little baking soda in the drain followed by some vinegar. That will cause a happy reaction that helps keep your drains clear of hair and gunk. Best of all it’s safe for septic tanks.
