In trying to get my Halloween bath bombs ready I encountered a problem. It was the first time using plastic molds, and unmolding was an absolute disaster. Then I came here and got the idea of dusting the molds with cornstarch or tapioca starch. I tried it, and it molded and unmolded like a...

Hey! I know this is from years ago but I have a question- what did you do to get the cornstarch off your bath bomb once it was unmolded? I love the idea of cornstarch helping them come out of the mold but then my bath bomb is covered in powder...

That makes sense. So would it be better to take away some things or increase the amount of baking soda and/or citric acid? I really like what all those things do to the water but maybe I could do them in smaller amounts?

This is the recipe I use for one bath bomb. At this point I make them one at a time to experiment with different colors and fragrances, but the recipe works in multiples for batches too. 120g baking soda 60g citric acid 20g kaolin clay 6 g SLSA 2 tsp cream of tartar 1g polysorbate 80 3g oil...

Oh my gosh I swear I’m not crazy! I didn’t really think about the title until you said something and it does sound ridiculous or like a joke, but here’s the explanation- I’m trying to make character themed bath bombs and one of them requires red. I definitely could try to contact them! Thanks...

Hello all! This is my first post here but I love this forum and I am hoping to find some specific advice. For weeks I have been trying to find a pigment, lake, or dye that will give my bath bombs and the bath water a true scarlet color. I have tried a few different micas with very...
