Hi!

I wanted to make bathbombs without oil but they seem to be crumbly. Is there any recipe to making a bathbomb without oil that won't leave crumbs? Thanks for the help!

The recipe I was using was

1 part citric acid
2 parts baking soda
FO
(1 taspn kaolin clay, dendridic salt)
 
I dont know if grated cocoa butter counts as oil, but I used some in my batches with very good results.
They should hold together without oil though - especially with clay I would think.

Edit to add: Hazel's locally world famous recipe doesnt require oil - she uses rubbing alcohol: http://www.soapmakingforum.com/showpost.php?p=268883&postcount=5

My no-fail bombproof recipe uses oil. I can't remember where on Youtube I found it, dang it, but ingredients are baking soda, citric acid,
Epsom salts, shea butter, clay, rice bran or another nice oil, Polysorb (Sorbitol emulsifier), Vitamin E and fragrance.

I spray with rubbing alcohol, mix well, and mold. I tried a dozen recipes before finding and loving this one.
