Fragances and Colors

[craftygirl01]

Not sure where this goes. But....I got a bath bomb kit for Christmas and I was wondering if I could uses the colors and Fragences that came with them on my soap and use the ones I use for my soap with the bath bombs.

Thanks

You would need to see if the bath bomb ones are ph stable. The soap ones should be fine although there are some scents that react badly with, I believe, ca.

You can certainly use the soap colors and FO in bath bombs. I would be careful with the colorant that came with the bath bombs as they may not be High PH stable. You can certainly try them but I don’t think I would as not worth the risk of fading or morphing. The FO May be okay but again different use and could cause a seize of CP.

Carrie at Nurture recently wrote a blog post about blue ultramarine and green oxides not being approved for use in bath bombs. https://soapmakingrules.com/2017/11/03/colors-for-bath-bombs/

There is a colorant chart at fda.gov to refer to. If there is a ‘yes’ in the column with the heading (generally includes) lipsticks, it is considered safe for in bath products. At least that is my understanding.
