bath bomb

Yesterday I decided to finally try making bath bombs. I am using recipes from Swift Crafty Monkey's e-book BATH TIME FUN: BUBBLES & FIZZ. First I tried the recipe titled Bubbling Bath Bomb. The ingredients are baking soda, citric acid, SLSa, oil of choice (I used Fractionated Coconut Oil) and...

So I was testing my recipe for shower steamers and because I am in the United Kingdom, which is very humid most of them, I modify those testing receipts and I have my receipt with NO CARRIER OIL and NO WATER at all. The ingredient I am using are: Baking Soda Citric Acid Dry Flour (The 2nd...

When I shrink wrap my bath bombs, after a few days. They go soft. I’m drying them 3 days before wrapping them. They stay hard when not shrink wrapped. Can someone please explain to me why this is happening? And a solution? I much like the idea of shrink wrapping my bath bombs

Hi Creatives Is there much difference between SLSA and SCI? I'm thinking of switching to SCI for my bath bombs and bubble bars, but need to know if there is a huge difference in performance

Hi guys! I am newer to making bath bombs and I am finding that they are molding and coming out of the mold well, and drying well but after about 24 hours thr bombs are dry but very powdery. Lots of powder comes off and feels almost chalky. I don't think my mix is too dry because it molds well...

Hi all! I've been reading through some of the threads and I can't seem to quite figure out what is wrong with my bath bombs. It took a little longer than usual for them to dry (left them for nearly 2 days to completely dry) and when they did, they seemed fine when I took them out of the molds...

Hi all I have recently started to perfect a recipe for making bath bombs. I have done research and looked at the type of bomb I want to create but I am really struggling to get it right. I have tried so much but it's not how I want it to be.. I want them to fizz but foam and for bursts of...

Hello everyone I am a beginner bath bomb maker and I have one very annoying problem! There are clumps in my bath bombs! I use a strainer to sift all of my dry ingredients but when I pour in my oil and wet ingredients then it gets clumpy and I have no idea what I am doing wrong, maybe my oil...

I've now made a few batches of bath bombs and they fizz nicely, smell great and don't leave the skin feeling oily. But now I'd like to make some tweaks to accomplish foaming and floating. I found this website (http://howtobathbombs.com/wp/2018/08/22/make-a-bath-bomb-float-like-lush/) that claims...

Every bath bomb or bubble bar recipe that I have ever made involves mixing your well blended dry ingredients with your oils/fragrance/poly80 or wet ingredients. Today I came across an old article in Marie Claire with photos from a Lush tour. They included photos of an employee making bath bombs...

Not sure if I can post bath bombs here but here we go. Sep 13th was the Mid-autumn festival here in China this year and my birthday was the day follows. In the spirit of the holiday I made some bath bombs to share with my friends and colleagues. I used a 50g mooncake press and each...

Hi everyone, I was hoping to get some insight on using lake dyes, as I am new to using dyes and I could use some help! I have been trying to make bath bombs with lake dyes and I haven't had any real problems except one. When I hold the bath bomb in my hand (especially if it is wet) it will stain...

Hello, I am not scared of ingredients like polysorbate 80 or Cromollient SCE, but I do like to add new or less common ingredients to my products. Experimenting is fun! Has anyone used these products to disperse oils, EOs, and colorants like micas in bath water (for salts, bombs, and bath...
