How to make bath bombs. With recipes and tips
🎁If you don’t know anything about bath bombs or are just starting out, I will link helpful blog posts and Youtube videos to fill those bath bomb master gaps.
Now let’s take a look and the three recipes that I created for this project.
oatmeal, milk, and honey bath bombs with ucuuba butter and goats milk powder
This recipe creates very luxurious, high-end bath bombs that are not only moisturizing and nourishing but also soothing and calming to the skin.
Dry Ingredients
250g Baking Soda
5g Kaolin Clay or Cream of Tartar
5g Colloidal Oatmeal
5g Honey Powder
5g Goat’s Milk Powder (buttermilk powder, regular milk powder, coconut milk powder)
2g SLSA or SCI or SCS (read more about these surfactants here)
Liquids
10g Fragrance (or less)
2g Cocamidopropyl Betaine
10g Ucuuba Butter (or Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter)
Water as needed (about 1-2ml depending on the humidity)
Last
125 Citric Acid
Optional: glitter, colorants, oatmeal and other embellishments
Mix your dry ingredients and sift them to make sure no lumps are left.
In a small heat-proof cup or beaker add your butter ( I used uccuba) and gently melt it. You can use a different butter or even oil but I wanted some extra luxurious kick to this recipe so I went with this rare butter.
Add fragrance oil, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, and water to the butter, stir to combine, and pour the mixture into the dry ingredients and start mixing everything with your hands or a stand mixer or a hand mixer.
Once everything is well combined you can add the Citric Acid in 3-4 portions. I will link a short videoon how your mixture should look and feel at this step. If it does not then you have to add more water or Alcohol 70% or higher.
If your mixture is ready to mold you can start making your bath bombs! This recipe makes about 3-4 medium-sized bath bombs. Another short video will be linked below on how I mold my bath bombs.
Once your bath bombs are molded they need to dry for about 24-48 hours.
