FLOATING Bath Bombs?

[Kelley]

I'm still testing this so can't give exact recipe yet. However, I have found that coloured embeds I made to give a fun firework effect makes them float. I make butter bombs. My let ingredients consist only of Shea butter, cocoa butter and sweet almond oil in the actual bomb and I sometimes add cornstarch but not always. The embeds I make are basic bath bomb recipe with glycerin as my wet ingredient. A couple of embeds one in either half gives me floating spinning bath bombs but I don't know why!

How do you dry your bath bombs?

Personally I leave mine on the table over a sheet of wax paper for almost a week.

I think the longer you wait, the harder they get.:mrgreen:

I made a demo of one of mine. I love using plastic molds instead of making them round, although sometimes I do make the balls. Please forgive my horrible cinematographic skills, and the horrible reflection of the shades.

Packing to tight can make them sink too. It is not always the recipe, it can be the technique...that is just my opinion.
