I love making soap relating things at home.. Whenever i make them I make sure to add essential oils… Loved your post. Keep Inspiring :)
Where do you get the citric acid? Also where is the cheapest place to find essential oils? TIA
I order it online for the best price. You can find it on Amazon. Tawra
Virginia is sold at any place that sells pharmacy items like wal mart, walgreens etc. It sometimes is in with the vitamin section. You just need to do some research to find the cheapest essential oils in your area, on line and such. You can find really cheap ones at places like dollar stores and wal mart now too.
How many bath bombs does this make?
Can’t really say how many because it depends on the size of mold you are using. It has about 2 cups of ingredients so if you use about 2 tbsp. per bomb it would get about 16. That is just a very general idea.
where would u get the molds?
I got ornaments from Hobby Lobby or you can buy them online.
Does anyone know the ratio of food coloring and how to add to the mixture. I’m assuming in the wet ingredients. Looking for lavender. My trial and error was more error. LOL Thanks
You can add it to the liquids. Always start with just a couple of drops and then add more as you need to. For lavender you want to always add a drop or two more of red – for example 3 drops blue to 4 drops red. The more blue you add the more purple it will become.
In researching I read that you should be careful if you use food coloring as it can stain tubs. They make a colorant for bath bombs that you can order, something like La Bomb. Just thought I’d pass that along. Good luck!
What does the borax do?
It helps with the chemical reaction.
why is this recipe different than the one you just made the video from.. you provided this link… I don’t like Borax.. what is the recipe you used on your video?
The one in the video just uses different oils. If you don’t like borax don’t use it. There are plenty of recipes out thee.
My 8 year old son LOVES bath bombs. I decided to make a manly version because I knew he was tired of smelling like raspberries! This recipe is awesome!! Instead of usIng essential oils, I sprayed a few spritzes of his Dad’s cologne in the wet mixture and just added a few drops of extra oil. I added a couple drops of blue food coloring. He is THRILLED!
It is so nice to have such great information without it costing a lot! Thank you!
You are so welcome Sonya.
