So cool. I wonder if someone who has used them will comment???

How do you dissolve the guar, in oil or water?

I can't find that article that I came across yesterday but it doesn't give any additional info anyway, it just mentions it. Thank you for your answers and links!

I meant her post. Is this what you asked me for. The other website where I read it hasn't been mentioned in this group, cannot find it now but it doesn't give any info anyway, it just mentions it. This is what I read here referring soap. It doesn't let me quote for some reason:( but...

That's what I thought, but the article mentioned it as a something which can be used in creams and lotions which left me puzzled! Reading back now I see that Isg has mentioned melted M&P soap for a bath melt. Can I actually use any of my CP soap for an emulsifier in a lotion? What are the...

I have read that soap can act as an emulsifier, any thoughts on that?? The article just mentions it but doesn't elaborate on it.

Hey... in first recipe for tub tea, it says lavender- Bulgarian. Got that;)

Thank you for your suggestion. Those are great!!!

Look at those proportions for tartaric acid to substitute citric. Maybe I should use less. https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071029092008AAVdhMo

I think I have to stop making bath bombs looking for the perfect recipe and switch to something else;)

Does the citric acid( in my case maybe tartaric) keeps the bath bomb together? The ones that I made just with soda bicarbonate, Himalayan salt and clay, essential oils and a bit olive, crumbled down to dust as I unmolded them. The other ones same ingredients but with acid- hard as rock ????

But now reading it I wad maybe wrong... because they do mention citric acid further down. But this one is also said to react with soda bicarbonate. I am confused a bit. Furthermore maybe what you get there in the US is citric acid and what we buy here is this other one, as the name in Bulgarian...

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tartaric_acid This is where I got my info. Tartaric acid is just another name.

Did you make some baths bombs Hazel? ;) I have had a negative thought concerning citric acid lingering in my head. Not sure how good it is for one's skin. I mean apart from making your bomb fizz, does it have any other good qualities? I powdered very finely all my ingredients as I wanted a very...

Thanks a lot hazel:)

So if the oil becomes water soluble, does it still make your skin soft? What is the purpose of putting it in? Sorry for all the questions and thanks for your answers.

Also how do you store them, do you wrap them in plastic after they are dry to keep the fragrance?

Also would paprika be OK on the skin, read somewhere that it can be an irritant. I love the cocoa bombs, like ice cream balls... Yummy!

What about other herbal powders that you can use for color? I tried turmeric, you can see the pic ( the one in front with turmeric, the one at the back with pale kaolin clay) lovely pale yellow but stains my skin and towel. I wonder if paprika might be ok? Also with the cocoa, does it stain your...

And do you find oil good or bad when using the bomb. I kind of like it when I can rub it in my skin. But some people don't like it as they have to scrub their bath, but I think with hot water oil comes of very easy.
