mterrell77 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Can anyone help me on why my colored bath bombs turns the tub the color of the dye? I have made different batches and varied the color I use each time but it never helps. I bought powdered color from MMS and each color I bought specified that it will not turn the bath water the color of dye. Any help would be appreciated.Thanks!

Meridith Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I had colors from MMS and had the same problem. I bought the bomb colorants from Brambleberry and no longer have that problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Girl Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 See, now I want my bombs to tint the water. I'm just weird that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hibiscus Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 See, now I want my bombs to tint the water. I'm just weird that way. LOL I kinda like that too..blue/green water. as long as I'm not blue green it's ok with me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Girl Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I'm good with any color but yellow... for obvious reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mterrell77 Posted July 26, 2006 Author Share Posted July 26, 2006 hahha I see what you mean with yellow!!!Yeah I dont mind it tinting the water a little, but it left a terrible ring all around the tub from the water mark down to the bottom of the tub. I had to take a towel and clorox to get it off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angiestaff Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Yeah no yellow or brown either.Are you using any butters in your bomb receipe? Sometimes butters will stick to your tub and if it's colored leave a ring. I've read good reviews on Brambleberrys colors, I have been using Wilton colors with no problems but I do not use alot so my bombs are pale. I would love to get nice vivid colors and may go ahead and order from Brambleberry.HTHAngiestaff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlesbeaulieu Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I use Wilton cake colors they turn out bright but they don't stain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to take a towel and clorox to get it off! That's what I thought you meant. LOL I too dont' mind the water but don't want that colored ring left in my tub which is what my first few batches did with the MMS colorants. I am very pleased with the BB bathbomb colorants. I did buy some of the Wilton after a much appreciated tip from Grumpy. But I haven't tried them yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I have the la Bomba colors from - oh drat, where are they from? Anyway, my kids use a couple of over-dyed bombs at a time (my rejects) and no ring! And I used waaaaay too much color. My bombs have just a little shea, that's it in terms of oil.Older tubs do tend to form rings more easily for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindsaycb Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 It's also based on how clean your tub is. Even if it looks ultra clean..there still can be some soap & scum residue that it sticks too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunny Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 The MMS FD&C's are what I use, but I must say, I use the size of 1/2 a pea for a 2 lbs of dry stuff. And they are super vivid, and tint the bathtub water, but not the tub. These are super concentrated.. Please don't give up on them, just cut way way back..
