Hi all, looking for some help ASAP
My fiance tried making some bath bombs last night, and everything looked pretty good when removing them from the molds, however as they dried on the counter they started to develop cracks and a few fell apart. We added witch hazel to the mixture before molding, but arent really sure what else could be wrong.
heres pictures of when we removed them and what happenned after ~5-6 hours of drying on the counter

Does alcohol cause other problems? IDK it just seems like alcohol would and its nature could cause breakdown. Its really tough to figure out the balance I guess, We live in AZ so humidity isnt usually a huge issue. It was around 40% yesterday maybe but with refrigerated air that should suck a good portion of the humidity out. You dont think its an issue with the recipe and now enough oils to bind?
I did add a decent amount of witch hazel but if i dont add enough it seems like they fall apart when removing them from the mold
