KMommy Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Well, I am still trying to find a recipe for bath bombs that can be made in high humidity areas(other post here)but I have seen photos posted of a foaming bath bomb - one that makes bubbles like a bubble bath. I did a search but didn't locate a recipe. Does anyone have one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glowlite Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Heres one from the old board. Posted by Sandy.1 cup baking soda 1 cup epsom salts 1/4 cup cornstarch Mix those with a wisk. Might be good idea to sift it too. I didn't color mine, but I might color this part, or color the epsom salts. Drizzle and mix well with: 2.5 tablespoons turkey red oil (sulfonated castor oil) 2 tablespoons FO Add: 1/2 cup citric acid 1 cup sodium lauryl sulfoacetate Pack tightly into molds. Unmold carefully and let dry 24 hours. Can use a meatballer, a plastic ornament that comes apart, tea light containers, a metal 1/4 cup measuring cup....

Landa Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Its just a regular bath bomb recipe but you add in I think its a half cup of SLSA. Im not really sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 If you are having trouble with humidity, you could leave out the citric acid and up some of the other dry ingredients. The fizzing from the CA/BS combo help increase the bubbles, but it's not critical. That way you don't have to deal with the combo being set off by the humidity.

I didn't know this. Now I am ready to try bath bombs again as mine use to start fizzing before they were molded:rolleyes2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMommy Posted November 29, 2005 Author Share Posted November 29, 2005 What do you use for coloring the bath bombs and at what phase do you add the dye? I know food coloring probably shouldn't be used since many people have skin reactions to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Moving this to general discussions so it will get more hits.I've only started coloring them, now I use Labcolors. But I've got my eye on Brambleberry's bath bomb colors, they intrigue me. I add the color after I've mixed everything together except for the citric. You can do it whenever, some color their FO/oil mix before adding it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbv1 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I found this info on the Chemistry Store website:http://www.chemistrystore.com/Foaming_Bath_Bombs.htmI haven't tried adding SLSa to my bath bombs but it doesn't seem like it would be hard to do.
