I use the same amount of Polysorbate 80 as oil in my bath bombs. This allows all the oil to mix with the water. Without the polysorbate 80 the oil will sit on top of the water and make the tub slippery when getting out. It also helps bright colorants to mix with the water and no stain the tub.

Howdy and Welcome

Very Nice!

I think it would be an awesome idea for us to all share our Instagram names so we can follow each other. If there is already a thread about this , i didn't see it. Mine is @naturecoastbath

Cream of tartar can be used in small amounts to help harden bath bombs as well. Also your shea butter could be hardening back up before you get your bombs formed. I like to split my oil weight up in 3 parts: 1 part shea butter, 1 part coconut oil, and one part sweet almond oil. This oil blend...

Gorgeous!

Welcome!

Ophelia's soapery is relaxing to watch, just music and great soap making.

I just made a melt and pour project and needed white but only had clear. I mixed some TD with a teaspoon of melted coconut oil and added it it. Im not sure on the exact amounts, however the end result was lovely.

I love the soaps that Katie makes on Royalty soaps , but like GML said the goofiness is tiring and overshadows the cute soaps. I really like Ariane in Quebec. The professional quality of Brambleberry's videos make them nice to watch. I would like to hear of some other good channels to check out.

Very Nice!

Thanks! I love your website by the way. Very nice. Being from north Florida I really appreciate all the southern charm. I get customers that say the same thing. Usually when people buy those items it's as a gift for someone else. When properly packaged salts and botanical items make gorgeous...

Yes i agree about having stuff floating in the tub! I like the look of it but not the clean up. I have some bath tea bags i purchased from whole supplies plus. I'll use those.

Love it!

I'm preparing to make a few different bath teas this week and i'm wondering if any of you have any favorite ingredients you like to use. I'm also wondering about how popular bath teas (either loose, or tea bags) have been for you all. Do you sell a lot or do you find people aren't that...

Today i'm restocking my lavender basil soap and also making Pet Paw balm for my craft market next week. Might work on some new labels but we will see how long i stay in the soap kitchen.

I like to use aloe juice in my soap and have also used aloe powder in my soaps and bath bombs before. While i'm not sure if it soothes or boosts lather , it certainly doesn't hurt and the has great label appeal. I find that additive positive benefits are hard to measure especially in rinse off...

I mix my micas all the time and get great results.

In my experience bath bombs do need to be packed hard which is what keeps them in tact. I use kaolin clay and cream of tartar to harden up my bath bombs as well. You mentioned replacing the cornstarch with kaolin clay but try only replacing half of the cornstarch with clay. I would think that...

Howdy and welcome!
