Stay Awesome Everyone!
Well this is my recipe, I live in Florida. (The recipe varies on where u live. my recipe dries really fast where I live)
DRY INGREDIENTS
•1 Cup Baking Soda
•3/4 Cup Citric Acid
WET INGREDIENTS
In a diff bowl....
•3 tablespoons Coconut Oil (You can use any Oil)
•4 tablespoons water
•Essential Oils (Opt)
•Soap Dye (Opt)
Ok I hope this helped anyone who lives in humid areas, all you need to do is follow the same steps as the video except, not the same ingredients!
Thank You For Reading All This!!
Craftendy no corn starch? Or Epson salt? I’m in north GA. High altitude and humidity. I’m having ok results. Could be better, but decent.
Craftendy well thank you. I live in a humid country and mine won’t dry good enough and then get moldy. Gonna try. Thanks!!
Thank-You for sharing I’m in the Miami area😂😂
What about the 99% alcohol ? Or Witch Hazel?
Sorry I’m new and have no idea the difference also do you have a dehumidifier ?😂😂
Thank-You again for sharing I appreciate you taking the time😍
I was in such a bad mood when I started watching this, but between your chattin and those wind chimes I am hooked...Thanks for the pick me up and the wicked awesome BB recipe :) I had to sub....Peace and Light!
Thank you! You make wonderful videos. Very user-friendly and informative!
Glad you like them!
best bath bomb tutorial in the bath bomb capital of North America!
Your voice is so calming. I am going yo try your recipe. You make it look so easy. Thank you for sharing.
Have fun!
By far, one of the most interesting bath bomb videos to watch. 💖
If your workspace is not a complete mess, none of this is going to work - haha, so true 😅
I’m dying I can’t stop laughing
This has been the most helpful video i have watched! I just started making bath bombs and purchased the ornament molds, every single one of them cracked down the middle. I am looking into metal ones now. I also found that i was making my mix too wet and the bath bombs seemed to expand while they were drying. Thank you so much for the awesome video!
Just made these! I'm excited to see how they turn out. I did use essential oils instead of the fragrance oil, but I am looking into getting some fragrance oil ( I also used avocado oil instead of olive oil, because that's what I had on hand). The instructions were great, and I can't wait till I finish drying so I can give them as gifts!
Edit: going ahead, I will not be doubling this recipe. I just don't have enough molds, and I'm hoping that sealing it in some Tupperware will keep it long enough for the first batch to dry.
Beautiful video!
I have watched a few videos and I have to say this is my favorite. I needed a laugh today and you made it happen. Thank you, great recipe!
Your lovely, I can tell. Brilliant video. So real, so honest....so rare these days. Thank you for sharing your joy x
you are sooo awesome. I am a new subbie who wants to be a soapmaker. I find your personality very sincere and honestly, it feels like I am standing right there next to you as you share your love to the art of soaping. i will be checking out your etsy shop and making a purchase. please never ever stop sharing your knowledge with us on YT.
Why thank you! :)
Rebecca Trester wow
IT WORKED! Modified with meatball makers but they’re drying!
YAAAYYYYY!!!!
excellent tutorial!! great info, thank you. your humor is AWESOME!
This is the only recipe that has worked for me! Thank you so much!!
Citric Acid can often be found with the canning products ( Mason Jars etc.) at the local Walmart.
Great video! Lots of great tips on how to put product into moulds & will for sure be using the elastics! Thanks! :)
Being a guy, you have a male side & a female side of your molds. They fir together very well. Great video.
Awesome
I love your messy workspace tip. I work best among a bit of chaos too lOL
This lady is hilarious
You are very good at explaining how to make bath bombs.
Thankyou for showing us how to make bath bombs, i have tried and failed so many times and after copying you with the whisk method, iv finally made one that looks lovely and it works! Im chuffed to bits, i thought i was never gonna do it xx hi from the UK xx
Awesome!
Each of your videos are simple and amazing. I have learned so much. Thank you!
Your welcome.
Thanks for the coffee tip! I did really need it.
I love you!!! This is Great and your personality is warming and funny
Love your video!!!! Very helpful
Wish we had a Walmart in the UK. You all seem to get such good bargains from there.
I buy mine from a place that sells to restaurants. 3kg baking soda £2.99 and I get 10kg citric acid for £20 on line. Actually they sell baking soda too and it's the same price as the one I buy. Free delivery too. Want the link?
You're funny, gal! lol
You made this video actually fun to watch! lol
~good on ya
thank you i tried this twice as the first time i forgot to add citric acid as i thought my niece had put it in oops second time was brilliant they came out quite good many thanks for the video A++++++++++
This was very helpful. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Great videos and very much appreciated!
Yeh! that was good.
Thanks for the great tutorial and your fun sense of humor :)
Any time!
Love them 😚
Great! Going to try and make them.
thank you for the video, I will try using the metal mold next try. I live in tropical country and has been 5 times fail in making bathbombs :( And also I wa using xmas ornament.
I have all my metal bathbomb molds with bombs drying. I have the med ornaments I I bought at Michaels. Plastic. One of the others crumbled when I tried 5o move it.
Thank you!
Interesting as always..... 😀
Oh how I know about fragrance oil it messed up my dresser😢 good job girl
I did exactly the same . Ahh
Hi there thank you so much for the video:) I have a question, if I am using essential oils rather then fragrance oil, how do I do that correctly? Would I use the same amount of essential oil as you used fragrance oil? Thank you :)
Love your video
Thanks again for your video. How long should the bomb sit out before wrapping? Mine are 2 1/2" long and about an inch thick. Have you done a video on wrapping a finished bomb?
This is great. Thank you
Would love a demonstration of the creation.
Thank you so much for this best video
Most welcome
Nice video, I have a question don’t you need polysorbate 80, so water and oil combine?
No, you don't need that.
Can you use muffin pans as mold?
Hi, nice recipe what is the shelf life of this bathbomb
Enjoyed your tutorial. I just noticed you are in Prescott Valley. I just moved there a few months ago. You are probably down from me.
will they float without using slsa?
I loved this video. ... I can tell that you are a very nice person and very funny. Your plastic molds are way to much work. I appreciate that you put so much hard work into showing us that! They came out flawless! Very very pretty! How long do you let them sit out to dry?? Do you ever put embeds in them or other stuff??
Thank you. I have experimented with embeds of toys and such. I have an updated video about making bath bombs and drying tips for crack free bombs. Check out my videos to see the updated one.
I hate your. Face
Well, that was flippin' rude!
@@davidmontes1107 well aren't you a nasty little fuckwit?
@@davidmontes1107 you need to learn some manners. Gee your mamma must be so proud. You soooo rude!
This may be a stupid question but why not use a different mould to push down with ? Like they fit inside one another :/
You don't want to over pack them.
Love the video! I can't find the Scented Oil. Where did you purchase?
Hey there! I love watching your videos! They are very helpful! I am VERY new to making bath bombs so fingers crossed it is not a disaster! 🤞🏻🙈 MY QUESTION IS: How do you figure out what to charge for bath bombs, salt/sugar scrubs… etc… I am not sure where to start with figuring it out. Thanks so much!!
Everyone is different. You need to figure out the cost of materials and the price things go for in the market where you are.
I just made these the other day and I let them sit for 24 hrs and it sunk to the bottom of the tub and only lasted about 20 sec.....I also made the foaming bath bombs as well and when I put it in water they barely were foaming and it was just sitting on the water.....I also tried one of each when I fist made them(I let them sit for about an hour) and they did great but only lasted for about 1 minute (I used a 2.75in metal mold) any tips would be greatly appreciated!
You might be packing your molds either too loose or too tightly. Let them dry at least 24 hours and perhaps increase your citric acid.
Your funny I like it
wow amazing you i love it 😀😀😀😀😉😉😉😀😀😉😉😀😀😀😀😀
awesome thanks
Very nice video! Thank you! When I finished my bath boms they looked perfect, I was so proud! But the next day all of them where crack. Is there any way to make new boms with them? What do you think I did wrong?
It could be any things. Check out my bath bomb troubleshooting video.
It may be just a little bit too much oils in your recipe. Try a little less and see how you go. Good luck!
I love making bath bombs tho I haven't done it in over a year, I haven't found really good smelling fragrance oils, any advice
aromabeadsonline.com
Hi there! First off, thanks so much for this! I'm determined to learn how! Question: I followed your recipe but since I wasn't using fragrance, I replaced that TBS with extra water, since I assumed it'd need the same moisture level. I added simply a few drop of EO instead. I molded them and wrapped with bands for one hour, but all of them immediately opened in two halves. Like a thick clay. Did I add to much moisture? So if I don't add fragrance, should i not replace that with the same volume? Looking forward to the help! Thanks big!
Cut back on the fluids. Subbing a bit more water if your not using any fragrance, which includes FO and EO is okay. Your climate might be a factor too if you live in a humid area.
how do you get your bath bombs to not become flat while drying? a few of mine went flat a little on the bottom
Keep them in half the mold when drying.
What is the difference between fragrance oil and essential oils???
Traci Adi Fragrance Oil is diluted and way cheaper. The fragrance doesnt last long and it takes way more to get a scent. Some projects would be watered down by the extra fragrance. Fragrance oil is measured by teaspoons and tablespoons. Essential oil is extremely concentrated. They are beneficial for health reasons. I get mine at Edens Garden and Plant Therapy. Essential oils can be diffused or added to projects such as this one to help with colds and flue, and so forth. Very long story. Essential oils are measured by “drops.” Do not rub highly concentrated essential oils on the skin.
Have you ever used mica powder to dye your bath bombs? If so, can you offer some tips in using micas? I seem to have a far better time using them over food coloring. Thanks!
You can, but sparingly.
I've recently been researching this subject and this video is the best I found by far...... Could I ask..... How many medium sized bombs would you typically get from this mix? Thank you.
I so luv your video ......do you have a printable copy for ingredients? Thank you so very much!
Sorry I don't. You'll have to write it down.
Can I use Essential Oils in Bath Bombs as well? There are a lot more EO's then FO's around where I live.
are you worried about the oily ring or is there not enough oils for this to happen?
I stopped using oils in my bath bombs because there's too much liability for slipping.
thank you so much!
Wow! I was up last night very late watching and liking your videos! You are amazing! You are a great teacher! I have a question, I'm sorry if you've already been asked this, I didn't see it on here so my question is - How long do I HAVE to wait before I can shrink wrap the bath bombs? I've seen some people say 1 day to 2 days, and in another one of your videos you were describing a different type of bomb - I think it was the shower steamer video?? But I believe you said to get them wrapped asap and that they would continue to dry in the shrink wrap. I've been making bath bombs to send to family and friends in other states and I want to be sure that it's ok to wrap them quickly and send them off. One consideration is that I use essential oils in my bath bombs so with that being said, how long until I can shrink wrap?
As long as the surface is hard and dry, you should be able to shrink wrap them. They still dry when wrapped because some air still gets in to them. Just keep them in a cool, dry place until you re ready to sell or ship.
Thank you! You are THE best! :D
I was wondering if after they are shrink wrapped will they crumble apart when the recipient trys to get it opened.
I want to use vanilla fragrance oil and wondered if it would discolour bath bombs like it does soap
Dorien Reed yes it would if your trying to make them white they will turn cream or yolky colored
How much water should I use? Hot or cold?
Great video can you tell me where you got the large metal mold?
What is your opinion about using a silicone mold, like maybe a candy mold and pressing the mixture into those?
Some people use those, but it can be tricky to get a firm pack on the mixture because the mold flexes.
Question ❓ is it possible to salvage a big batch of Bath Bomb mix that I made wrong? I made a mix that didn't hold together it crumbled. Can I salvage it by adding all the necessary ingredients to it and remaking a new batch of bath bombs? Are should I just throw away? Ugh 😢
Put it in a bag and call it bath fizz soak.
Desert Cloud Soapworks - YUP that's what I did. Tysm ❤️
Hello when can you it after it dried?thank you😀
Right away.
Can the olive oil be substituted? Also is the Epsom salt necessary?
Firstly I would just like to say thank you for making this recipe simple and easy to remember and I enjoy your video I subscribed your channel thank you so much oh and by the way is it OK to use candlemaking sent
You can only use candle making fragrance IF it is skin safe.
I wondered if you have ever used a food processor for blending? I have an old one that I am not using for anything else, and thought it would cut down on the dust.
I don't see why that wouldn't work. It may interfere though with the amount of fluids used since it would make the ingredients a finer grade.
Thank you!
Can you tell me how long you let them dry (after removed from the mold) before you wrap them in plastic?
A few hours
It will also depend on humidity. I usually have to leave mine to dry for 48hrs but I live in a humid place. Look up weather apps for humidity. I try to wait for days that are under 60 % humidity. Its supposed to be 40% but that hardly ever happens here lol. The fridge helps them dry out faster too. Hope this helps!
Can you provide information on the fragrance oil angel wings...where can it be purchased?
sensational scents
Is this on etsy? Do you have a web address please :-)
Hi just subscribed to your channel - please help. Everytime, & I mean everytime, I make bombs the next day they have turned a brown color. If I use a fragrance oil I make sure it has no vanillin in it but they still turn brown. Why do you think this is happening. TY!
It could be the brand of fragrance oil doing it. Try switching brands.
just found you and love it! I have a question. Is there a reason you don't use epsom salts?
It's optional.
I see a lot of recipes call for polysorbate 80. Do you use this?
Rarely.
Thank you so so much
Can you show how to package them and I would like to add jewelry inside. Small ear rings a breath or ring. Just novelty items nothing super expensive. Would I need to put them in small plastic bags or ... So that they don't damage the ball or be damaged? Thank you for responding.
Check out my more recent bath bomb videos. I explain how I wrap in a few of them and I also have one that shows how to embed hidden messages and even a toy frog.
Can you use guar gum instead of cornstarch?
Thank-you for your video! I have tried several recipes where I've added the liquid at a what I thought was slow pace. Every time I try to make bath bombs they expand out of the mold. But I also live in a dry climate. Aside from mixing vigorously, do you have any recommendations to help keep the fizzing at bay so it will dry all nice and molded?
Fizzing will happen when you put the fluid in no matter what. Just do a very little at a time and mix quickly until it is all mixed in. The bombs will be moist when you mold them. Keep them molded in a dry area. I recommend keeping one half off the mold for an hour, and then flipping it over for the other side to be exposed and dry for another hour. I will be making a new video about the bath bombs that show a different simple method and drying techniques.
You can also put one drop on at a time then immediately squish the fizzing drop of moisture to stop the reaction, then mix that moist drop of partially reacted powder to the rest. It is how I saw a scientist do it. With 15 ml of water going into a batch and every drop 1 ml.. that is a bit slower but might help with your dilemma
Can u use coconut oil instead
I tríed once With corn starch and got powdery, what is exactly the purpose of corn starch? What about using kaolin clay? you are very good, I like your explanation of troubleshooting.
Kaolin clay works too. The corn starch is more like a binder.
thank you. I followed your tips just like you say in your video...I could make successfully my bath bombs, beautiful and very hard! I put them inside a carton box and in a room kind of warm...now is very very humid here....and they got dry nicely. thank you again.
I have a question. I have almost the same recipe except the liquid. I use 100% essential oil so I could never use that much 2tbs. Would i use more coconut oil then?
Tammie Schiller did you ever figure out how much coconut oil to use?
Could you make cubes out of the extra left overs
Sure you could. I use any leftovers as a bath fizz soak.
Hi. Love your video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Can i know how much water did you use? and, can it be any type of water? Thanks in advance for your answer!!!
Tap water is just fine.
But HOW much water did you use? You didn't say in the video! Thanks
What is the difference in soap dyes and food coloring??? I know the food coloring can stain but why doesn’t the soap dyes???
Because they are made for soap and body products.
Can baby oil be used instead of olive oil?
They are awesome. Thanks for your recipe and thorough tutorial. with the recipe/amount you made how many molds would I need to buy? it would find it laborious to wait an hour before making next bomb.😀
I actually have a new system of doing them, but it does require a bunch of molds. I will be having a video come out within a week or so showing it, and it's with a slightly different recipe.
Do you recommend the oil in this still due to trips or can it be left out? Also if I use a water soluble die does it need to be mixed with anything to disperse properly?
Dyes like that don't need to be mixed. You ca leave the oil out, but compensate with a little more water.
i used food colour and it set off the reaction didn't use it and it was fine
