It stops mine. At least I don't see any water in the packages.

As long as I keep mine in cello shrink wrap they don't sweat

I use rice bran oil, grapeseed oil, shea oil, jojoba oil and sweet alomond oil for my massage oil

Ok, what is MSM powder, :embarasse

Does anyone know where you can get plastic tubes to fit the large meat baller or the 3 in ornament. I have some from kangaroo but they only fit 2 bath bombs. the third one will go in but the lid won't fit on top. I have to have something that won't break since I take them to the shop/

which scrub receipe are you using?

Lotion crafters has silky lotion receipe close to this and I have made it. It is very nice.

Is that MP soap for the snow balls?

I wonder if there is something in this bamb bomb receipe that keeps it from doing that. Sounds like it is better to just leave them outl. Do you ever spritz them once in a while

what happened when you did the oven?

I almost got some soap shavings in the swap. I guess I could use my own from my batches

Ok, I wonder how much slsa I should add to this receipe?

I add it to soaps for bubbles so I thought it might. I will add slsa then with it. That is good that it will help hold it together better and help with warts. Worth a try. Thanks.

I found this nice bath bomb receipe and I am going to try it today. It is by Bri and found in the archives. I see where she usues castor oil with other oil. I was wondering if this would give good bubbles and would not have to use slsa?

Here's the recipe I use...modified from KB.

Combine 2 cups baking soda, 1 1/3 cups citric acid, and 1 cup cornstarch in a mixing bowl.

In a small jar (I use an 8oz jelly jar), Combine 1/3 cup oil, 1 1/4 T. Essential Oil (1/2 T. extra if using FO), 2 T. water, and 1/2 tsp. Borax. I think the borax helps mix the water and oils.

Add desired colorant to the wet mixture, cover and shake well. The color will be much more muted when added to the dry mixture, so plan accordingly.

SLOWLY add the wet mix to the dry mix, whipping with a wisk as you go. If mixture starts to fizz, you are not whipping fast enough or pouring too fast!

Once incorporated, use bath bomb press or ornament mold to scoop up mixture. Pack it in tight!

Tap on hard surface, and release from press. Let the bombs sit on paper bags overnight, then package 'em up!

Houston Changes

Due to the humidity here, I made two changes to the recipe.

1. I use 50/50 mixture of Castor Oil and another oil. Castor Oil is the miracle worker of bath bombs, imho!

2. I pre-heat the oven to 180. I turn off the oven, and place the finished bombs in the oven for 30 minutes. This greatly helps in drying out the bombs.

What is the actual website name where you got the stamp from please. I can't seem to find it.

Very pretty packaging. Makes me think of french soap

You should try Nucents candle Cinnamon Oatmeal bun. It smells soooo good. Strong scent throw

I make soy candles and only use 1/2 oz. per pound unless a light scent. They are very strong.

What is a good size slab mold from silver moon or somewhere with liners for 3 to 4 lbs. and wanting the soaps about an 1inch by 2 1/2 in.

It depends on the scent. Vanilla bean clouds. That is why I use colored bottles instead of clear. If you use FCO with it you don't have to worry about shaking it. I have tried body splash before but it does not hold the scent like cyclo. Maybe someone else can chime in here for something as good as cyclo without the cost.

Hello all, wondering if anyone has a good lotion receipe for me to try that is creamy and not greasy. I have been experimenting. I did use the silky lotion kit from lotion crafters and it is very nice. Was wanting to try one with ingredients I already have on hand before buying products needed for the silky lotion kit. Thanks

I have not had a problem with cyclo and scents. I have added FCO before but usually use cyclo with my dark green bottles.

I recently made hand lotion from soap crafters silky lotion kit. Getting ready to try their body butter kit. Love the lotion and it does not take a lot of product to make 32 oz.. I also found a receipe from soapers called bandiboots honey and oil hand lotion. It is very nice too. I thougth of seeing if I could add soy to the lotion kit but it really does not need anything.

your welcome

I use CD 16 in most of my 8 oz. mason jars with EZ soy wax from BC.
