smittenheart Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 I can't use a bath bomb so I use my trusted guinea pigs-my 2 boys to give me feedback..Thinking my 6yo didn't like colored water I refrained from putting a red bomb in his water until one day he asked for it..so I found a bomb my 12yo made about 5mos ago plopped it in the bath..and to my surprise it fizzed...So it got me wondering...I hear that THE best bath bomb is a freshly made one..how old is too old of a bomb?? I don't use water to make them...and just had them sitting on a ceramic plate for all these months..Thoughts?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 I'd say as long as the citric doesn't activate. I think those that might sit for about 6 months might not produce as much as fresh, but I don't have any to make a comparison to on that. Keep in mind though that the baking soda is still going to eat away at the odor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smittenheart Posted April 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 the fragrance was a lot lighter than the original ones were..thanks scented.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ah-soy Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 (edited) I pulled some bath bombs out that, believe it or not, I made 4 years ago and they fizzed and whirled like crazy...no scent left though. I've read that using dendritic salt and/or adding some orrowroot (sp?) powder will preserve fragrance. I think I might order some and give it a try! Maybe it will extend the fragrance life some???

bconrade884 Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 I too have used some pretty old ones and they fizz like new ones. I have noticed the scent is not nearly like it was when they were newer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
