Success!!

[ChrissyB]

Well I have been soaping for just on 5 years. In all of that time I have never ever had any success with bath bombs. I have blamed our humidity. And as its summer at the moment, its still hot and very humid.
But, the other day my daughter wanted to make some bath bombs...mainly because I didnt let her buy any at Lush, I told her we can make much nicer ones. LOL.
So, she held me to it. It was great.
All we used was bicarb, citric acid, coconut oil and fragrance and colour. We had a blast, they are three days old now and hard as cement. No warping, I can't believe it!
So I am very very proud of myself. And I am thinking of now making up bath bombs in the same scents and colours as my soaps to make matching sets for mothers day.

Glad it has worked out for you Chrissy, I'm still having trouble getting it right, I get mad and don't do them , I want to match with my soap as well.

Congratulations! I think bath bombs scented to match your soaps would make lovely gifts.

Great news! How much coconut oil did you put in? This no spritzing method really is for me. I have all the stuff to make them and make soy candles. I need more room!

 

[ChrissyB]

Yes, no spritzing at all. I just used bicarb 3 parts to one part citric, fragrance at 2% and teaspoon by teaspoon of oil. Im going to try cocoa butter, I believe that will work even better.
My daughter used one last night, the water turned blue! So I might have to do some tweaking there!

Congrats Chrissy! Very well done. I had them work for me for a while and now they're being mean to me one more time with feeling :roll:

That's the recipe I use. Though I do add 1 Tbsp of Epsom Salts to the mixture to help it harden. (And to get me through to that last bath bomb! lol I hate leftovers.)

I love how they soften the water, and my skin. It feels as smooth as a baby's afterwards. My day just isn't complete without one!
