- How I make Black Raspberry Vanilla Bath Bombs
Ingredients:
2 cups of Baking soda
1 cup of citric acid
1 cup of Epsom salts
1 cup of Corn starch
1 Tablespoon of fragrance oil
1 Tablespoon of white clay
Liquid neon food colouring to taste
Water to spritz as needed
For me this was the best video I've seen yet. You made them fast, showed how to squeeze test better plus you left the recipe for others to try. Thank You for this. Going to try it today. Our business makes Soap but we thought we would take another step up and try something different for a change. 🌹👍🏻
can you make colorful bath bombs? like the ones from LUSH.. for example the "granny takes a dip" & "shooting for the stars"
I thought if you were reselling bath bombs you had to use batch certified dyes? These aren't intended for cosmetic use and can't be used when reselling bombs.
To much mumbling 😐
Why is it called black raspberry vanilla? There's no raspberry and black raspberry color is purple not pink
I have to admit, Ms. Doherty, of all the Bath Bomb videos I watched, I found yours the absolute most helpful! I loved the way you presented your steps, and it was all very easy to follow. I found myself so entertained by your DIY instructions that I watched all of your videos, even for items I'm not looking into making. Thank you so much for such wonderful instructional videos! I will be subscribing and hope to see more!
Thank you, that made me smile. I never new I could just randomly "talk" to a camera until I started making these videos. I'm glad though because those are my favorite videos to watch, when it seems like the person is talking straight to you :-).
Great video :)
This tutorial is beyond the best I have seen! Bravo.
Hi ChocoAndJelly, I bought my bathbomb molds on ebay. I bought the two smallest sizes. Here is the link :-)

Hi Jennifer O, I have bought the Black Raspberry Vanilla from 3 different places. Suds n' Scents in Canada www.sudsandscents.com, Wholesale supplies plus www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com. Then from Natures garden www.naturesgardencandles.com. I bought my mold off of ebay, I think it was this one: www.ebay.ca/itm/290699498804 , Or this one www.ebay.ca/itm/300719085430 I absolutely love this mold. I have one slightly smaller, which I bought from ebay as well.
Hi Karina, You can make bath bombs as colourful as Lush's, but I don't for fear of the very real likelihood of having a bright coloured ring around my tub. I tend to favour the softer colours and just avoid the mess of bright colourants.
They will not stain your tub I make and sell bath bombs and use them never stained
Hi there , my bath bomb after dry js crack ? Is that my house js to warm ? Humility make it crack ? If you know anything about please help
I have never seen anyone make bath bombs and unmold them so fast like this. I am having such a hard time unmolding mine. These looked so easy. I'm going to have to try this recipe. I have been using SLSA for bubbles as well. I was just in awe of how easily these came unmolded.
Thanks, I think the secret is the rim on the bath bomb, when you put your finger in between the two layers, it just pops open :-). I thought of doing bubbles in my bombs, but I also make bubble bath bars and I just don't have any more room on my craft fair table for a new product, so I decided to just leave the two separate. I hope yours turn out wonderful!
In your recipe for the bath bombs, you said that you use white clay. What kind? And do you put any coconut pool in yours?
How do your bath bombs look once they hit the water? Can you make a video of your bath bombs in action? :)
Can anything be used as a substitute for the white clay and if so what is the ratio? Thanks. I love your video.
Wow that's a lot of colouring you should really use soap colours defo not sell using food colouring
Where do you get your black raspberry vanilla fragrance?
The color has tinted your hands, will it do the same to the rest of your body and your tub?
Other pros use witch hazel to spritz and cosmetic skin colorant
you dont put shea butter or coconut oil in it for skin moisturizer?
Nice video. But you should wear a mask
And also the metal molds to forms the bath bombs.
Jennifer, I just found your channel -- so I subbed, of course! Great video! Thanks for showing the texture. I don't know why I'm nervous to try these-- I make soap, for crying out loud. - Bonnie Morse
Hi Bonnie, thank you :-). Anything new is daunting, especially if you've watched a ton of videos and all the different little things people do. I was sure that CP soap hated me at first, but I was/am determined - If you can make soap, I am positive you can get the hang of these too!! Let me know how they go!!
Can I leave out the white clay powder?
Hi just wondering about the white clay. Where could I get that and how would I know which would be the right one? Thanks.
Hi Jaimie, white clay is also called Kaolin clay. I started out getting mine at a health food store. There are all kinds of clay, its really a personal preference. If you go to a health food store, chat with them about they clays they carry, I found the staff really helpful at mine. :-)
where do you get the molds for your bath bombs?
wow you make it look so easy,.so fast and efficient.
Where do you buy white clay from?
I tried your exact recipe today only cut in half (seeing it's my first time trying this) and I had mixed results. 3 of the bombs stayed together in the ball form and then no more would adhere together. So I had to make 3 half round ones, does this mean that my mixture was too moist?
Hi, for me that does mean they are a little bit moist. I find sometimes I have to stop and wash out my mold and then the bombs hold together again. Sometimes if my mixture is too moist I have to do that every 2 or 3 bath bombs. Also you can try taking your finger and wiping out the inside of your mold and if you feel a light coating stuck to the inside of the mold, then likely that could be the problem as the bomb mixture is sticking to it instead os sliding smoothly out of the mold. Giving the insides a quick wipe is a shortcut instead of washing them out.
I made a batch using another recipe. One cracked in the middle. Next batch I'm using your recipe. Oh and thank you
Cynthia, Thanks :-) - I have had many crack (even every now and then), its usually when they are too moist and the citric acid and baking soda react slightly and the gas that causes needs to escape. I hope your next ones turn out beautifully. :-)
What size bath bomb mold did you use?
Have you ever used an oil like coconut oil for moisturizing the skin?
I only just found this video but had a question about the clay. What is it for exactly and will it cause any clogging in the tub or anything? Sorry! I am just starting at bath bombs and am curious! Never knew about the clay part before.
Hi Sasha, the clay makes the bath bomb harder as well as adding a silkier feeling to the bath water :-) . It is such a small amount that it dissolves and doesn't cause any problems with the drain.
U did a wonderful job. I know u been doing this for a while but this was a great video. Thank you. What do u recommend for mixed scents?
Hi Stephanie, Thank you :-) - With mixing scents, honestly the sky is the limit, I recently mixed Lemon & Rose and it was really nice. Lavender & Lemon, Coconut Lime, Eucalyptus & Lime. Sandalwood & French Vanilla. I just use what I have on hand and most work out well, occasionally not so much. What you can do is put a drop of each scent you want to mix on a Q-tip and put it in a baggie and sniff it a little while later. If you like it, perfect, then its a 1 to 1 ratio. If you think it needs a bit more of this or that, try another q-tip with your adjustments and go from there. Definitely keep a notebook as it will otherwise all become a big jumble :-)
lord I wish you would speak up, I stopped watching 10 seconds into the video..shame, looked like a nice product
Redeemed Believer
why do my bombs have scratches?
Where did you use the citric acid xx
where do you buy white clay??
are these products not dangerous to bathe with ? just asking because a lot of those lush product suppose to all these organic ingredients to help your skin and such
Hi Alex,
Its good to be aware of what goes into your bath, and all ingredients present differently for different people. However, these ingredients I don't believe are dangerous. Citric acid is a bitter acid found naturally in many fruits. Here is a link for a dictionary description. dictionary.search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=AwrT6Vy8dMhUYt8A7DknnIlQ;_ylu=X3oDMTBsOXB2YTRjBHNlYwNzYwRjb2xvA2dxMQR2dGlkAw--?p=citric%20acid&.sep=. Baking soda is a chemical salt with a lot of uses, and safe to eat. Epsom salts are made up of a naturally occurring mineral that are found in water. The official name seems to be magnesium sulfate, it is used in everything from muscle treatments (soaks in a bath) to gardening. Carn starch is just the starch from ground up corn. The biggest item in question could be the fragrance oil as all ingredients are said to be "skin safe" but the actual ingredients are allowed to be kept secret, so people have to research and decide if they are willing to use these man made scents. Here is a link better describing fragrances oil/perfume recipes and secrets surrounding them. teachsoap.com/2012/03/14/history-of-fragrance-oils/.
Cheers,
Jennifer
Ive tried to make these. They hold together well but are not rock hard after they dry. I tried again and added a little more water and then the mixture change and wouldn't hold at all. Do you know what i'm doing wrong?
I have always used the corn starch and white clay in my recipe, and its my understanding that both of these things will help make the bath bomb rock hard. Are you trying so far with just baking soda and citric acid? Sometimes when I add a bit too much moisture, my mix sticks to the inside of my mold. Try running your finger along the inside of the mold, if you can feel a residue coating it, try washing it out really quick and see if that helps. I remember once having to stop every 3rd bath bomb to wash it out. For me it was a combination of a little bit too much moisture and the baking soda I was using was "feed grade" from an feed store and that kind of baking soda is grainy and not soft and fluffy like the baking soda we get from the grocery store is. Good luck :-)
Hi! I just wanna ask an advise, I got a hard bath bomb, it just crack in a middle? why it is? thanks in advance
Hi, they can crack for a few reasons, it could be that it just hit a really hard surface, it could also be that it was too moist when it was made as they crack to release the gas as they dry. Or it could be that they were not pressed together hard enough when they were made. On the bright side, none of these things should affect the bath bombs performance.
can't you just use soap coloring so it won't stain the tub? How come you don't put an oil or something in it so it makes your skin soft?
I prefer the simple bath bombs. You can definitely design your own recipe with whichever additives you choose, to have whatever desired effect your looking for though.
Hi!Can I use lemon juice for the citric acid and salt for the Epsom salts?
Julia Avgousti Hi Julie, honestly I have never thought to try but my first instinct is to say no, I don't think it will work. good luck though if you try and let me know how it goes.
Where is the raspberry? Or just the color
EdnaBlossomss Hi, There are no real raspberries but it is in the Fragrance oil. Black Raspberry Vanilla is not really a raspberry fragrance, but more of a sweet fruity one. Its super popular. :-)
can I use lavender scented epsom salt? Also, how long do you let them dry before they are hard enough to use?
You could use a lavender scented epsom salt, just make sure you include the epsom slat bag ingredients with yours on the label. I let mine dry for 48 hours before I package them :-)
u should show one in action
does someone know where to get citric acid? do they have them like at food stores? thanks so much
Hi craftymakey, I buy mine from a soap supply company that isn't to far away from me, Suds n' Scents in Canada www.sudsandscents.com. Other places you can order it from are: Wholesale supplies plus www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com and Natures garden www.naturesgardencandles.com, even amazon.
Jenn
where do u buy the white clay from?
If you add to much food coloring it will stain your bath tub and you skin
The colouring was definitely a learning curve, I was worried I turned my son into Smurf once, there was so much blue. These ones were fine, no rings around the rub.
hi Jennifer, I'm a 17 year old trying to raise some extra money for my family through making these things. My bath bomb molds are being shipped in right now, and I was wondering how you advertise your products? Could you give me any pointers? Thank you! xx
rory ♥ Hi Rory,
I honestly don' t advertise. I do sell at a few craft markets, but other than that I just sell to family and friends and some people at work. I made myself a facebook page because I love posting what I've made, but I don't have a bona fide website as of yet. I work full time and have 2 small boys and that all just doesn't give me room to be much bigger as a business.
I really found word of mouth and what ever local craft fairs you can get yourself into will help your business grow. When you talk to people try and mention the things you are willing to do, ie; baby shower and wedding favours (whatever you are willing to try). You can let them know you can do different shapes (depending on what molds you have). That kind of thing always sparks peoples imagination.
Good luck, I hope you do really well.
Thank you so much! I'll be sure to tell my mom to spread the word. I'll probably try making a platform on Facebook or Tumblr and see how that goes. Thank you for the good wishes! I hope your business keeps striving as well. :D
I can't hear you
Where did you get your bath bomb molds and how much were they?
Hi Matthew, I bout my molds off of ebay, here is the link www.ebay.ca/itm/4Type-Bath-Bomb-Fizzies-Staninless-Molds-2pcs-per-1set-YOUR-CHOICE-SIZE-/300719085430?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item4604411776. I bought the two smallest sizes and in this video I am using the the bigger of those two. I love these molds!!
Excellent video
what kind of white clay did u use in this video and where can i get that
Hi Sonu, the clay I use is white clay also known as kaolin clay and I buy mine online at any wholesale soap supply company store. In the beginning I purchased this clay at my local health food store.
I love your demonstrations! Does the coloring stain the tub?
Fergie Fergie it does yes especially that amount
What do you use the white clay for? Is it for binding? I haven't seen a recipe with it in before.
I started using the clay because it helps make the bomb much harder, then I learned that the clay can help anchor scents as well. :-)
Fantastic. Thank you!
Do you have a good and easy soap recipe I can have please
Susan, I don't really. Cold process and hot process are still so new that I haven't found a recipe that I love and want to stick to yet. Peek around on here though, there are plenty of women who make lovely soap that are willing to share their recipes. :-)
What does white clay do for the bath bomb?
Hi Tiffany, it makes your bath bombs harder and adds a silkier feel to the bath water :-)
Where do you buy your fragrance oil from?
I buy them from New Directions aromatics, Voyager soap and candle, wholesale supplies plus, Natures garden, Suds and scents - there are a lot of Soap supply companies out there that you can google and choose from :-)
Do you need to add a broad spectrum preservative in the ones that you sell, because you use water to bind them with?
No, the water dries and is not in the end product :-)
Thank you
Can you say new subbie??? You just saved me for Christmas. Thank you!!!!
That is great, how did they turn out for Christmas?
Jennifer Doherty they were awesome 1st time around. Felt like I'd been doing them for years...I kept one for myself...ran out of baking soda so I only made one batch. I'll make more Feb or March when I move so my NJ in-laws and friends got some and come valentines day my FAM will get some
Hi
Where do you get your fragrance oil
perla rodriguez Hi Perla, I usually get this particular fragrance oil from Suds and Scents in BC, Canada or Natures Garden in the U.S. If you are looking for a variety of fragrances, just Google "Soap making supplies" or "Fragrance oils for soap". They should come up with a lot of options.
Where did you get the white clay from?
Hi Perla,
this clay is called white clay or kaolin clay and I started out getting mine at a health food store. There are all kinds of clay, its really a personal preference. If you go to a health food store, chat with them about they clays they carry, I found the staff really helpful at mine
Hello !! where did you get your molds?
Jeanette Torres , Here is the link to where I bought mine on ebay.
@4
obviously, this is all depending on the size of the balls used but do you happen to have an approximative of how many balls this would do? (or what size are your sphere molds? ) thank you!
Hi Maggie, For me this recipe makes on average 7 of the larger ones, and in addition to that I will get 1/2 or 1.5 small ones. I think it would vary depending on how tight you pack them. I will have to check when I start making them for craft season, but I believe my bath bombs weigh between 3.5 and 5 oz each :-)
Jennifer Doherty thank you very much!
Sorry if this question is silly, but isn't citric acid Lye? If these bath bombs aren't cured like soap bars, how is it safe to use them with lye in its raw form?
nina rekhi it's a form of salt so think it's defo safe
It is definitely nothing to do with lye. Citric acid is used in foods as a flavouring and a preservative amongst other things. No one ever puts lye in bath bombs
Cool
Jennifer. ..your recipe looks lovely! I would love it if you would share!
Donna Kusterer H Donna, the recipe is just above, below the video, you just have to click the "show more" button. Here it is again :-)
How I make Black Raspberry Vanilla Bath Bombs
Ingredients:
2 cups of Baking soda
1 cup of citric acid
1 cup of Epsom salts
1 cup of Corn starch
1 Tablespoon of fragrance oil
1 Tablespoon of white clay
Liquid neon food colouring to taste
Water to spritz as needed
Thanks Jennifer!
Where do you get your fragrance oil
Caden Fritzman , I tend to get most of mine in Canada from New directions Aromatics, and if I have friends are family traveling to or from the States I tend to get mainly from Nature's Garden or Wholesale Supplies Plus.
Where do you get the white clay? I'm having problems with my fizzies cracking while drying, I removed the epson salt when I made them. Which may have been bad on my part.
I've used your technique with the epson salt and they did just fine. I'm just wondering where the white clay would be sense you said it makes it harden.
so I've tried doing this and after i got the bath bombs in a sphere, they totally turned into pancakes after a while. I didn't use any epsom salt so I'm not sure if that was a problem. Suggestions would be great! Thanks ! :)
Is it weird that I find it so relaxing
Nope, I love the zone I get into when I am making/creating things :-)
wow amazing
Damn you make it look so easy
Aww, thanks - but for over a year I had an "epic fail" bucket in my house. All the bath bombs that cracked, warted, split, crumbled or just were an ugly colour went into it!! Even with my kids constantly using and me giving away to co workers and friends, I never seemed to empty it out. These days I feel like my recipe and I are friends and I don't put near as much into that bucket anymore.
Can I have your recipe
Hi Susan, its just up above in the description box, just use the down arrow to be able to view the complete description. :-)
Hi Jennifer! Thanks for the great videos! I was wandering what brand of BlackBerry Vanilla fragrance oil you used in this video. I bought some recently, but I'm not thrilled with the scent so I've been on the hunt ever since! Thanks :)
Great video! and I have been trying to find the metal molds but no one has them. can you tell me where you bought yours? Thank you
do these harden well enough to ship? I can't seem to get my bath bombs to harden enough
you make the best looking bathbombs. some others look like they're falling apart. definitely trying this (:
Tried your recipe and am lovin it.... Thank you so much for sharing!! Tweaked it alittle for myself and they dry rock solid in no time! Thanks again!
Does the food coloring stain a white tub?
Hi Melanie, It can definitely colour your tub if you use too much. Try and add a little at a time until you get the shade you are looking for. If your not sure if you have used to much or not, test it out in your tub and see if it sticks :-)
Thank you for your reply. Your bombs look perfect.
Could you please share with us where you bought your metal molds from?
I like your video and i also like your counter top....where did you get it?
do you sell the ones with food coloring?
Thanks for posting this Vid! Posted in Bath bomb addicts group :-D
Hello Jennifer. Love your videos I am seriously considering making bath bombs for a new hobby...I've checked all your links in the comments for where to get the ingredients and supplies, which I am glad I did because I was going to buy essential oils for fragrances and see that it can be quite costly. My biggest question that I can think of right now is, which size mold is the bigger one you use? I see on the link that you can get different sizes and I want to make sure I get the right size, oh, and also, the clay, it is nessecary?, and does the clay make any kind of a sandy grit in the bathwater? Do you ever put any little treats in your bombs? Like sprinkles or sugar flowers?..I guess that was more then one question :D
also, what size bottle of fragrance oil do you normally buy?
Tammy Hillier
Hi Tammy, because shipping to Canada is so crappy, I try to read a lot of the reviews to get an idea if it is something I would really like or can use a lot of and if it is, or if I already know I will like it, I order the 16 oz size. With every order I make though, I always try and add on some samples or 1 oz sizes of fragrances I am really curious about. There have been so many 1 oz ones that I am glad that I only bought the small ones. Sometimes buying a big bottle "Blind" bites me in the butt too. I would really recommend getting what you love in the size you think you can use up :-)
Jennifer Doherty Thank you for the reply Jennifer, I'm so interested in this whole homemade LUSH products idea and your videos. I did notice in my research that some of the LUSH bath bombs froth and foam whereas others just "fizz" and I figured out it is because in their Frothing and foaming bombs they add SLSA Soduim Lauryl Sulphoacetate, forgive me if I spelled that wrong. Now, I noticed in your Bubble Bar video, which by the way I also love...you used the SLSA, we're both Canadians, and I have no idea where to buy it locally, so I'm wondering where you get your SLSA at a decent and fair price online of course if you buy your supplies online.. I would love to just jump into making everything but I know it's going to be costly buying some of the supplies to get started, I basically have nothing yet, no butters, colors, salts, nothing...so I'm now researching on where to get everything in a bulk size for a fair price. Thank you again!!!
Tammy Hillier
, Hi Tammy, Whenever I have family going tot he States, I buy my SLSA from www.saveoncitric.com and have it shipped tot heir hotel (most hotels will hold it for up to 30 days before arrival). If that doesn't work, I order it from suds and scents in Abbotsford www.sudsandscents.com/. It is the most expensive ingredient in your bubble bath bars. The next most expensive ingredient is the cream of tartar and you can get it at your local bulk barn. You can buy it in larger quantities, just call and ask them for prices, they are pretty good. Shopping for supplies can make you crazy as you will find some suppliers have this, others have that, or some shipping is great and others crappy LOL, good luck. If I can help point you in any direction, let me know :-)
If your not a member already, you should join a few groups, one is called the soapers lounge, the other is called shout out to melt & pour and the third is called The bath and body lounge
Thank you ..I will definately be back in touch I am sure and I will check out the groups as well.
I love it!
Thank you :-)
How long did you let them dry, 24 hours?
*wondering (arrg auto correct! !!)
Hey Jennifer , I was just wondering how big your molds are (mm) . Thanks!
Hi Mark, the two sizes that I have are 5.5 cm and 6.5 cm. I find I use the 6.5 more often but that the smaller one comes in handy when I don't quite have enough mix for the larger mold :-) Her is the link to where I bought mine on ebay.
www.ebay.ca/itm/4Type-Bath-Bomb-Fizzies-Staninless-Molds-2pcs-per-1set-YOUR-CHOICE-SIZE-/300719085430?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item4604411776
This was great!! How long do these keep for?
Hi :-), I've had some in my moms bathroom for over a year and they work fine, but i tell people they have a shelf life of about 6 months. Fragrance and colour can fade ocer time :-)
do you bath bombs keep there shape by setting them to dry like that ? mine bath bombs are all getting flat bottons the way i set them to dry i am not there how to get them to keep there shape hope to here back from you soon
I love your molds where did you get them ?
