Bath bomb colourants

[AshleyR]

Can anyone suggest what types of colours work best in bath bombs?

I have used liquid colours but they don't blend in... I get little specks of colour all through the bombs. Is there a powdered colourant anyone would recommend?

Thanks!

Costal Scents has a great video tutorial on making bath bombs. She uses Wilton gel cake coloring.

Hi Ashley I've been using Micas and they colour the water. They do requrie wiping off the tub but it comes off really easily.

I used the Wilton gel colors in my last batch and wow! The water was soo blue. Just be sure to mix really well.

I made bathbombs for myself and my girls and I just used a few drops of red food colouring to make them light pink ( I made about 12 small heart shaped ones) and it made the water a beautiful baby pink and the girls just loved them! I made them with rose oil and peppermint leaves. They were to die for....Now I'm in the mood to make some more of them And no wiping off the tub...it didn't leave a trace.

Does anyone know if the Wilton colours stain the tub? I know they are really strong....

No, no stains yet and my children use them every night.

Hi Ian, it does color the water. The ones I make, makes the water a deep ocean blue. My children love to take baths now!

I always use the Wilton colors. They work great, and I've never had any tub staining. Try them!
