I'm going to make bath bombs for the first time this week and I've seen various recipes online. Some use Corn starch and am I right in thinking this is the same thing as corn flour or corn meal? I'm a little bit confused
 
Corn starch is different .It is a white powder usually used for thickening gravies etc. you might have some in your cupboard ? Cornflour and cornmeal are totally different , used for baking muffins etc.

Cornflour is sometimes called Maize flour here - it's a very finely, finely ground form of cornmeal. I think you could grind cornmeal superfine in a coffeemill. I once needed very fine salt and I took regular table salt size granules and milled them into such a fine powder that I had to wear a dust mask cos I kept breathing the super fluffy salt. Over here Cornmeal is the same as Cornflour except that Cornflour is ground superfine. Be careful though - there is also something called Baking Cornflour / Maizena - that has added baking soda bicarbonate of soda added to id.
