    Bath bomb packaging problem

    When I shrink wrap my bath bombs, after a few days. They go soft. I’m drying them 3 days before wrapping them. They stay hard when not shrink wrapped. Can someone please explain to me why this is happening? And a solution? I much like the idea of shrink wrapping my bath bombs
