bath bomb

taking a nice warm bath is something that I absolutely relish in, on a hot or a cold day, I love a good soak. I was a hairstylist for 10+ years but had to give it up to to repetitive injuries to my hips and lower back. I found that the comfort of a bath with a delicious bath bomb was so soothing...

I've never used aloe vera gel before but I make a bath bomb that soothes itchy skin and have thought about maybe incorporating aloe vera gel into it. Would this work or am I mad? Has anyone tried something like this before and has tips for me? Did it work? I have no other use for the gel so...

Hello y’all! I’m a newbie here. I’ve been making a few different bath products and I did learn long ago that my essential oils need a carrier oil. I have always just assumed that my fragrance oils need a carrier oil as well. I just realized I have no idea if that’s true. I did Google but I...

Hi, I’m Casey. California born and raised. I realized a few months ago that I absolutely adore anything having to do with having a more luxurious bath. I’m actually here for all the bath bomb/shower steamer talk. Though I wouldn’t mind dabbling in soap too, once I get to that point. I’m...

Hello! I have a lot lovely fragrances with vanillin which will turn my bath products brown over time. How do you deal with that? I use mostly dark colours till now but would love to make white products which don't discolour. I have a water dissolved vanillin stabilisator but don't use water in...

Hello everyone! I have a recipe for bath bombs and am needing to know how much kaolin clay to add to make my bath bombs more hard. I find that they are breaking so I wanted to add a stabilizing ingredient. If someone sees something wrong with my recipe please let me know. .20 oz. Epsom salt .45...

I love bath bombs and quite frequently will drop large amounts of coin at a certain bath bomb shop on the high street, so i got to thinking about trying to make them myself. So i placed a large order across amazon and the soappie shoppe [EDIT: actually is Soap Supplier] and almost everything...

Just got my moon cake press and made a batch of Salt cakes (blue) and bath bombs (pink)! I have to say they came out pretty cute, but there definitely seems to be a learning curve to get the fine details to remain with their companion puck-mates! You can see in the pic the ones on the right...

I started making them about 3 weeks ago and have been experimenting with my recipe and different ingredients nonstop since then. Ive ironed out a million mistakes so far, but now I'm having another issue! They pack and mold perfectly, fizz like a dream... but after they dry, they crack! Usually...

Hi all! I was wondering if you could help me out. I have been using brown mica powder for bath bombs and I recently noticed that my bath bombs are letting out brown & huge black rings that cling to the side of the tub rather than the usual brown. The only thing that has changed is the addition...

Hey there! I've been making bath bombs for months now, and loads of them. I have a good recipe but today I got some SLSA and was really excited to try it but I find it decreases the effect of the citric acid? They foam well but don't fizz well, and they sink and only create beautiful...

I was wanting to make multi color bath bomb popsicle where there is a straight line diving each color from each other. Something like this. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/c9/75/a6/c975a6bbabbef57ea81aaee7a871c7f4.jpg Ideally I would like to make them in pieces and then glue...

Has anyone added honey to bath bombs or a soak mixture? The armpit stank threads have me wondering if it's worth the honey. We're having a bit of a heat wave, which is a leading factor to me breaking out everywhere (a detail everyone needs to know). Since honey is water soluble I know it...

A while ago there was this amazing post from SQ: How to use every last drop of fragrance oil so i thought I would like to share it with you (this is a summary of what the post was about) : Take your nearly empty fragrance oil bottle and pour bath salts through a funnel into the bottle. When...

Hello, I currently make bath bombs using mica to color them and they turn out rock hard and perfect pretty much every time. I have been experimenting using different coloring agents to try to get a richer color in the bath without leaving residue on the tub. I use the same recipe but...

I've searched the forum and haven't really found my answer... I've been exploring all kinds of colorants, La Bomb, Lake powders, micas... Am I missing something with the La Bomb colors (FD&C dyes dispersed in glycerin)? I have tried and tried to incorporate into my mixture and it always...

Hi. FIRST POST HERE! I tried this on a less popular forum and no one has even looked at it, so I found y'all! I haven't seen this topic as I glanced through some posts. I have one concern (as of now). The airborne dust from bomb/bubble bar making. I am not so much worried about myself as...
