In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients and the olive oil until it is the consistency of pastry dough. Add the fragrance oil, mix until evenly distributed. Form balls about 2 inches in diameter and wrap them in individually in cellophane. Tie a pretty bow. You can use a few drops of red food coloring. Makes 12 balls.

This is a nice idea but where do I get citric acid and when do you add it?
Citric acid can be bought locally however get your wallet out, I suggest ordering from amazon prime, great bulk price and free shipping. I pay around $25 for 5 lbs.
You can mix all your dry ingredients together than slowly, slowly add your liquid being sure you don't startbthe reaction. You may also mix your liquid in all the dry ingredients mibusbthe citric acid, then add your citric acid after its mixed, it is a little harder to do butnit doesn't react. Hope this helps
Looking atbyour recipe I'm left baffled that your bath bombs are even drying, that seems like a hell of a lot of oil for your dry mixture. 1/2 cup ??????? Wow I could be wrong who knows, this is my mix
1 cup baking soda
1/2 to 3/4 cup citric acid
1/2 cup corn starch
1/8 to 1/4 cup SLSA
1/2 cup Epsom salts
To this I add 4 to 5 tablespoons of oil
