My vote is for a little bit of corn starch as well.

Hello all...

Kitty here I was alerted to this thread by a good friend and I'm shocked to see this posted and even tho there is already a resolution but was not updated with all the facts.

I agree with everyone here that if there is a problem, contact the supplier to have it resolved and when there is a resolution come back here to update everyone.

We hate to lose a customer for any reason, I hope you will reconsider using our company. We do try very hard to meet everyone's expectation.

(Hi smacky!! how have you been? Kerry is in the office today, give him a call 815-609-9275 and ask him about the ISOCAN Convention hehee )

Thanks Maryann for sharing your insights, I just removed it from my recipe.. Better safe than sorry lol.

I remember the big debate about borax on the old forum, so I called the company at that time and they NO, not to use it in bath products as its not healthy/safe. So I questioned her as to why it was ok for baby clothing but not the skin directly and she said that soaking in it is alot different than wearing things that's been washed in it!

So I used the box I bought for one batch of bombs and stopped. I made a personal decision not to use it if I was selling it to the public, as I didn't want any adverse reactions that could have been traced back to this ingredient that the manufacturer said not to use to bath'n body products. :smiley2:

How cool!!! nice job

Here's the perfect bottle for glitter gel, easy roll-on bottle:

Another tip is make sure the ends are nice and dry to seal properly, here's a picture of the dead sea mineral face masks I made, I package them in our black boxes, 4 to a box :

we sure do

kangarooblue sells it also, along with lots of other stuff!

Sorry that I haven't been around...

Bunny and all: he purpose of the borax is to emulsify the water and oil, the amount used in here isn't significant enough to harm (I haven't seen the study tho), if you can skip it and add more baking soda.

Ilona: The press that I mentioned is the bath bomb press aka meatballer, or you can use the xmas ornament or even cooking measurement cups How did your batch come out??

Ann: you can sub out 1 cup of baking soda with SLSa, I have tried that as well and it bubbles like mad hehee.

We have t-shirts, tote bags and aprons embroidered with our logo, we wear them at soap conferences, the tote bags are give-aways. As a matter of fact, it's time we re-order...

Hey all,

As requested, here's my tried & true recipe that I've used for years now, this is also the same recipe I used at the Chicago Conference demo

If you are like me that can't tell what 'wet sand' consistency is, then this is definitely for you! so far, this has worked out for me beautifully.

I don't color this bath bomb they look just like a snowball after I'm done with them lol.

Dry Phase

2 cups baking soda

1 cup citric acid

1 cup cornstarch

Wet Phase

1/3 cup Safflower oil

1-1/4 T. Peppermint E/O

2 T. water

Directions

Combine dry phase in mixing bowl. Combine wet phase in small jar and shake well. SLOWLY add wet phase to dry phase, whipping with a whisk as you go. If the mixture starts to fizz you are adding the liquid too fast and or not stirring fast enough. Once all incorporated, use bath bomb press to scoop mixture up and pack it in tight through the two holes. Gently tap on hard surface and release top half slowly by pushing your finger through the top hole, turn upside down and repeat. If mixture gets dry at the end of batch, add a little more oil and mix well this will stop fizzing or cracking! Lay bath bombs on paper bag over night and package! These bombs are packaged in 3" x 8" poly bags fits 2 bombs perfectly! Each bomb weighs approx. 2.2 oz.

Let me know if you are interested in making this in a virtual class setting here on candletech.

Go on, try it and post your results and picture here! I would love to see them all.

We were there last year as vendors, it was a lot of fun! The facility was a dream, huge spaces for vendors to display our goodies!

Bittercreek has them as well.

Hi Paul!! I'm a new member here as well

I agree with Carrie, make sure the fo is indeed skin safe

You can warm problem fo just a little before adding at trace, that tends to help.
