What do you use for a powder base?

That's a great question. I must have misread the OP earlier and thought it was not going to be listed in the ingredients.

That's good to know--they don't have it at my grocery store, so I'm used to buying it from Bulkapothecary and the like.

Thank you for the warm welcome!

Thank you for your help!

^The coconut oil referred to here is usually sold as "fractionated coconut oil." I can vouch that what DeeAnna said is good advice, except I haven't tried meadowfoam oil.

I haven't sold anything yet, so forgive me for not knowing definitively, but am I wrong in thinking you still have to list the ingredients used to coat the bomb? My thinking is that people would want to know since it's going in the bath with them, but I don't know what the law is.

Nope, you're not missing anything! However, the oils can go bad after a few years. You can combat this by using an oil rich in vitamin E, such as jojoba oil. You can also use everclear as a base if you don't plan on selling it. About 15% fragrance in alcohol should do the trick.

I'm new to bath bomb making so I thought I'd ask the experts here about the ingredients list. Do you need to include witch hazel if you are using that as a binder?

Hello everyone, I'm a bath bomb maker who found this forum when searching for new ingredients to use in my bath bombs. I hope it's okay to post here even though I'm not a soapmaker...
