    I watched it for a year hoping for good days to make them but our humidity is under 40% for only about 3 days a year here. Great tips thanks a lot. I think I'll eventually invest in a bigger dehumidifyer.

    A good DIY dehumidifier with an extra benefit is something called an air conditioning. Your air conditioning must bring the humidification down to 50 to 55% before It can begin to cool your house down. Consider this before you invest in a dehumidifier.

    Thanks for your video! I did the test where I added all of my ingredients except the citric acid and I got the mixture to a good 'damp sand' consistency, but when I put in the citric acid, for some reason, it became soo much wetter and started activating. Obviously I put too much water in, but the consistency of the pre-citric acid mixture was what I was used to when I made bath bombs with the citric acid and baking soda added at the same time. So just some food for thought to anyone who tries to do this.

    Very informative. I have a question, I’ve heard to try to avoid salt/ epsom salt because the moisture part.. what can you substitute with that wouldn’t mess up a hood bath bomb consistency?

    When making bath bombs I love how my bath bombs are activated for a really long time. but they don't float, and aren't like extremely explosive. how can I Fix that? I also do live in rain city Vancouver BC. I will look up the humidity levels now, only make them on sunny days and get a cheap humidifier. I have single pane windows which must have a play in this.
    does the recipe consist of too much oil? and does the fine grain on the citric acid matter?
    I will post the recipe I use and maybe you can help or fine tune it
    2/14 cups baking soda
    1 1/4 cups Baking Soda
    1/4 cup corn starch
    3/4 cup coconut oil
    1 teaspoon fragrance or essential oil
    small amount of mica powder for colorant
    I literally never saw this until now: 1/2 teaspoon SLES powder. i just saw this and need to purchase it for bigger bubbles they say. can you recommend one that has big bubbles, but also is good for all skin types.

      I know this is how everyone starts out but honestly you are going to save yourself alot of stress by getting a scale. Weighing ingredients is going to be more precise with fewer ingredients wasted. Best of luck.

    thank you very helpful ! I've heard putting bath bombs in a warm setting oven would that work to control the humidity and help the bath bombs harden?

    • @MandyBarley
      @MandyBarley  3 роки тому +1

      That is something you can do but need to be careful with. If baking soda is heated passed 200 degrees F then it turns into soda wash. Heat oven to lowest temp and then turn it off before placing bath bombs inside.
