ladysj Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Do a search in the bath recipes section for Snow Ball Bath Bombs. I used that recipe and had great luck with the first time right off. That was the only one I could get to work right. I usually just add fo to my liking and I also add my citric the very last thing that way you don't have to worry about it fizzing as bad when you add your oils.

Candle Makin Momma Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 That is the snowball recipe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysj Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 LOL okay sorry it's been a while since I made them but I've get to get on mine for the swap. I would just start out with a tbsp of fo you can always add more if you want but I think a tbsp would be plenty. I don't see why you couldn't use Olive Oil instead of the Safflower. I'm not sure about your grocery store but I can get Safflower at my local grocery it's cheaper than Olive if I remember correctly.I think I used a different type of oil can't remember which one though. Just make sure it's light oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asheebeans Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Is 1 1/4 Tablespoons of Peppermint EO alot for that recipe?? I haven't used EO's in anything other than soap, but I thought that in bath salts and such you usually measured them out by dropperfuls, not Tablespoonfuls? :undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
