Bath Bomb Tutorial for Beginners-Part 3 Let’s Make Bath Bombs!

[@KoalaSoftSoaps]

Thank you so much for your tutorial series on bath bombs, they have been very helpful ......and I'm still eagerly waiting for part 4 ! I am new to making bath bombs and have been experiencing many a problem with drying them, and the bombs retaining their hardness. I hope you will find the time to come on here again and do some troubleshooting with us soon!

[@denisehaley9271]

Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I changed to grapeseed oil and use mica for color & had to adjust the alcohol for Michigan climate, and my bath bombs are AMAZING. Thank you so much 😍😘

[@franchiseplaya75]

I thank you so much for this. I didn't want to go through the hassle of blooming but I really love the color dyes give.

[@xcandiceennisx]

so excited!! i just made my first order from your website! I'm a local make up artist, body artist & face painter! I'm hosting a girls beauty spa birthday party and will be using these products for this event! I believe they will perfect to add some exciting color for beauty spa make over !!

[@stillbee7222]

Thank you. FYI. you're the first person I have watched that puts there Citric acid in last. I thought I was the only one who did it that way. Great video.

[@nikkim858]

This might so dumb but how do you know how many grams of fragrance to put in? The fragrance percentage has me so confused

[@utrutr6013]

Thanks for your detailed video here. EPSOM SALTS: I notice there is no epsom salt in your recipe. Have you had any issues with it and do you think it's ok if I add some in or will there binding issues or something? Thank you

[@mukwah1111]

You are outstanding! Thanks for the great tutorial and recipe. I will be using dyes from Bon Bon Candy. LOVE this tutorial. The absolute best!

[@chandanederostek6206]

I know this is an older video so don’t know if u will see this but great video. Great info and love u use weight measurements. Such better accuracy instead of using cup measurements. Also I have to say that u r pretty 🤩

[@southernskyebeauty6567]

Aww haha thank you!! 🥹 you’re so sweet! I’m so glad you found the video helpful!

[@amandaament9867]

If you don't want to use fragrance oil and want essential oils instead, do you need to make up for the lost wet ingredient? Should you just add more coconut oil?

[@sarafenning8566]

I have tried probably 12 different bath bomb recipes and they always come out powdery. Even if I added more binder. Sometimes they would be pretty solid but then they would sink like a rock. This one was solid after 6hrs! After less than 24hrs they're hard as a rock!! Amazing! A half bomb I tested after 6hrs did sink, but I'm hoping after more dry time they'll be more buoyant. If not, I may switch up my binder. I did 10g of exclusively distilled water since it's really really dry where I live right now. I may do half alcohol, half water next. Thank you so so much for this! I have struggled so much with bath bombs.

[@southernskyebeauty6567]

Great bath bomb tutorial series. I love making bath bombs and first started making them back in 9th grade.

[@ayvadiorcosmetics]

Loved this video! thanks so much for all the info! can you use SLSA & milk powder? If so how much would you recommend?

[@southernskyebeauty6567]

Absolutely! It’s really based on preference on how you’d like the bath bomb to perform. I go over these ingredients in part 2 bc each one add a different quality to the fizz. You can always start with a few grams and work your way up

Is polysorbate vegan or is there a vegan version? Looking to buy on the UK. Thanks

[@MK-hz3fm]

What a mess I made today with the citric acid and colorant today thank u so much!

[@shannonrios8982]

For lakes, do you add them until you get the color you want or is there a certain amount? And do you need an oil with lakes?

[@ashleynjestin]

i made a batch and i only added 10g of fragrance, but 10g of polysorbate because i had to use lakes for colourant.. I dont have a batch to compare it too yet as its my first batch but they feel very fragile.. will they harden when they dry or will they crumble? I used cupcake tray to make the molds, not rounds yet. I did the squeeze test and the handfull didnt break when dropped, but it was very close to breaking.. I hope this is okay.. Thanks for the great videos!!

[@mightiestmouse8833]

If I wanted to use essential oils instead of fragrance oils would it be a straight substitute or would I need less essential? Your video is so helpful!

[@southernskyebeauty6567]

Amanda Francoeur no not a straight substitute. If you are a beginner I would not recommend using essential oils as some of them can actually be dangerous if not used properly. Essential oils are not in my wheel house so I’d recommend doing LOTS of research before jumping in with the EOs. Sorry I can’t be more help!

[@mightiestmouse8833]

@@southernskyebeauty6567 I am not a complete beginner with oils but am with bath products. I do know about skin safe oils and mixing with carriers as well ❤❤❤

[@katelynconverse1486]

How much of each ingredient do you buy normally and how much does that yield in terms of bath bombs? How long does it last you?

[@southernskyebeauty6567]

Katelyn Converse I’m at the point that I buy 50 lb bags of dry ingredients. It lasts me quite a while and the most I’ve ever made in one sitting was 72 bombs. I buy new ingredients every few month bc of the volume I make

[@taraross5728]

You said there was "a little bit of water" already. Do you suggest a certain amount?

[@southernskyebeauty6567]

Tara Ross nope! Just a few grams to help the dye disperse. 😊

[@residae]

Mine turned out!! First recipe I've found that worked! Do you ever add epson salts?

[@southernskyebeauty6567]

Desirae Nelson you can definitely add Epsom salt- just note that they may draw moisture from the air so just keep an eye out! Great work!

[@deesdelicioustreatsmore6061]

Hi does it matter what baking soda i see arm and hammer but some of the boxes have different pictures so i am not sure which one. Can you please tell exactly which one or link for it?

[@youronlyjohn6169]

[@thatgirlbritt1229]

Are you planning on doing more tutorials? Like for body butters or body wash? I’ve made body butter once and it didn’t turn out too well 😅

[@samanthajach7462]

When you do your colors in the liquid phase does it not leave a ring in the bath tub or do all bathbombs leave rings? I've been having problems with this issue been using the poly80 and SLSA i cant seem to figure it out. I use micas and put it into the dry phase. May this be the problem?

[@JessHopeHen]

Did you make a part 4? Also did you use cream of tartar and kaolin clay? If so 15g of each?

[@essence56able]

Great Video. Thank You

[@LovelessYayaoi]

Thank you for such an informative video! How much of the dispersed dye did you squirt into the container? Is it an exact amount, or do you just eyeball it? And you added more dry dye on top of that -- is that second part necessary? Wouldn't more of the dispersed dye do the job?

[@southernskyebeauty6567]

LovelessYayaoi just till I get the color where I like it! No science :)

[@heatherregister8492]

Just curious, how was your NC recipe different from your Cali recipe? I live in southeastern NC (15 miles from inland from beaches) and bath bombs are very tricky here. Thanks!

[@southernskyebeauty6567]

Heather Register you will likely need much less binder since it is so humid in NC :)

[@lisamilligan2694]

Do you add the micas in dry to the baking soda mixture and then add the liquid separately like you did? I heard you say if you were using micas the color would already be in the mix.

[@southernskyebeauty6567]

Lisa Milligan you can either add to your liquid or powder - either works! I typically add to my powder

[@ElizabethDMoody]

I love these videos. I was using Mica's without a polysorbate and learned my lesson. Then I used it with but it still was getting stuck to the sides. Does it matter at what stage you add it? I was adding it to my dry ingredients instead of my wet. I"m making another batch shortly so I guess I can test out tomorrow after they dry.

[@southernskyebeauty6567]

Elizabeth Moody yea mica is quite difficult bc you will literally have to play with poly ratios to ensure you don’t get any sticking. It doesn’t matter what stage you add the mica.

[@ElizabethDMoody]

@@southernskyebeauty6567 Thank you. I am going to try again tonight. I was using 1tbsp coconut oil and 1tbsp poly i usually do 2 cups baking soda 1 cup everything else and mica i don't really measure. the positive is that it doesn't take much to wipe the mica away but its still a "thing"

[@Smallplanetmama]

If I want less foam should I cut back on the slsa? And I live in Tennessee. When I made the mixture I didn't have to use a binder because it was already wet enough. If I need it less wet should I cut back on oil?

[@southernskyebeauty6567]

Chelsea Cox yes, reducing slsa or milk powders will reduce foam. If you find your mix is plenty wet, reducing oil will work :)

[@Catssom25]

Thanks for your reply. I do live in the UK. I realised after that you may not know the answer to this. If you don't, are you able to recommend who I would need to contact to find out? Thanks

[@merandajohnson3359]

Would using rice milk powder or coconut milk powder have the same effects? I would like to try to make these vegan but be able to keep the bubbling effect. I’m not sure if it would work the same but some of the alternatives to milk powder (for eating of course) said I could use almond flour. What do you think about using that?

[@southernskyebeauty6567]

Meranda Johnson I actually really love coconut milk powder. It makes large foamy bubbles while the bomb dissolves. You can definitely try it on you’re recipe but I always recommend testing!

[@merandajohnson3359]

Yay I’m so excited! Thank you so much

[@jeannethibodeaux3852]

What is binder? First time doing bath bombs. Thank u for video

[@southernskyebeauty6567]

It’s the liquid portion that holds your bath bomb mix together - typically alcohol or witch Hazel

[@chsrlottetaylor5804]

Does the colors ring the tub

[@crystaldixie775]

Is rose kaolin clay ok to use in bath bomb recipe

[@afo21258]

Great video series. Thank you so much. With the pink-red color, is that also a dye? If so, how did you get it so vibrant?

[@southernskyebeauty6567]

Alice O'Brien I used dyes and lakes :) the more you use, the more intense the color!

[@multikimberification]

It would be nicer if you filmed the testing part of the bomnbs as well

[@traviseerickson7890]

i live on the east coast. how much would i need to tweak this recipe because of the humidity?

[@southernskyebeauty6567]

Travis Eerickson this answer will be different for everyone and will even change everyday! It’s all about feel and practice!

[@Minty190z]

When using the alcohol, what climates dictate more or less use? Hope this makes sense. Thanks.

[@southernskyebeauty6567]

Minty190z it doesn’t really matter- I do prefer 70% though since it’s a good ratio of alcohol to water. Climate will just dictate how much you will need.

[@zudabaeutymaster6735]

Hello you are clearly tutorial vdo. I make my own but the colorant is stick with body. I known what s my recipe problems. What s a binder?

[@youronlyjohn6169]

A binder can be oil but most likely is witch hazel or alcohol

[@misssymphonyrose]

question: I ordered powdered dye from Nurture Soaps, and while the dye load is AMAZING, it stained my fingers like CRAZY when i accidentally splashed it on me. Is this where Poly80 is recommended, will that help prevent skin staining? I don't want to sell products that are gonna leave my customers blue! :) Thanks!

[@thenanouzz]

Hello I was wondering instead of milk power or tartar can it be substituted for cornstarch? Some recipe calls for it... i am new to this

[@southernskyebeauty6567]

Nancy Roy milk powder and cream of tartar are optional. The tartar adds hardness to the final bomb and milk powder adds foam. It’s a preference!

[@quirkygurl6567]

Is it ok if i add epsom instead of the slsa?

[@sharonando1517]

Thank you Autumn

[@wilda1374]

Thank you for all the informative videos! I am a novice so please excuse my ignorance; but if I want to create a bath bomb with a hidden color (white bomb and once in bath the color explodes along with the rest) which type of colorant do you recommend? If I add the colorant in the center of the bomb then cover it with the rest of the bomb ingredients, I am worried it will bleed throughout the bomb prior to using it. I’ve heard of “glycerin” dyes such as La Bomb from bramble berry, but I am afraid it will cause the bomb to activate. Any suggestions? Again thank you sharing your knowledge and talent with all of us!

[@southernskyebeauty6567]

Marilyn Johnson dyes would be the best for this. Even lakes! I haven’t had any color “bleeding through” but if you place the embed too closely to the edge it may peek out. But they’re handmade! Embrace them as they are :)

[@OUTSIDEMOORE_ANDMOORE]

[@chaneydw]

Southern Skye Beauty Thank you! You're awesome! Your products look great too! I've also found that adding slsa reduces the "fizz" and it takes a lot longer to dissolve in water. Although it does add a lot more suds. Was wondering if you experience this as well?

Hi. Is this citric acid the same as lye or is it a weaker version? Soap bars are left to cure before they're safe to use becoz of the lye. Do bath bombs also need to be cured?

[@southernskyebeauty6567]

nina rekhi no- completely different ingredient. Yes, bath bombs need to cure in the sense that all the moisture needs to evaporate from them so they get nice and hard but you can technically use them immediately.

[@ninarekhi]

Southern Skye Beauty Thank you for the reply. I enjoyed your videos ♥️

[@southernskyebeauty6567]

nina rekhi you’re very welcome!!!

[@kelleyspartiatis4776]

Bicarbonate of soda is a weak alkali and lye (caustic soda) is a strong alkali. Citric acid is a weak acid and it reacts with the bicarb to create the fizz when it hits water. So that's where you probably got mixed up. You can't make soap with bicarb but it is an alkali

[@RatherBeeVintage]

When you lived in nc what binder did you use? I'm in nc

[@southernskyebeauty6567]

Vanessa E. It isn’t so much what kind of binder you use... it’s how much. I prefer 70% alcohol because it’s a good balance of water and alcohol. The alcohol evaporates much faster than plain water alone.

[@southernskyebeauty6567]

Some fragrances are definitely stronger than others- all suppliers should have a percentage rate for use on their website so i definitely recommend checking that. If you’re still in the “safe zone” and it’s still too strong absolutely you can tone it down by the FO!

I am familiar to lakes oxides but not dye. I have about a hundred colors of water soluble nontoxic dye. I purchased from a commercial dye company. Are these the same type of powdered dyes the soap suppliers sell? I really need to use up these dyes if I could use them in bath bombs that would be great. If you don't know the answer can you direct me to someone that might? I've asked the company and they yell me they are completely non toxic. I work with them all the time and have never had a reaction. My grandkids have played in it also and have had no problems other than washing the dye off our hands if we forget gloves.

[@donnasouthwood]

All dyes used in bath bombs must be batch fd&c batch certified colours. (fd&c = food drug & cosmetics) So even though these dyes may be safe for other uses you couldn't legally sell any bath bombs made with them.

[@yellowjello1094]

Southern Skye Beauty cool. So you got about 13 of the cupcake size with doubling the recipe? Also so I’m understanding right to activate the dye you use a little bit of water and alcohol, or just alcohol?

[@southernskyebeauty6567]

Yellow Jello 109 correct. You can use water and/ or alcohol as long as the alcohol is 70% or lower :)

[@southernskyebeauty6567]

Yellow Jello 109 because some of the colors that may be safe for food aren’t safe for cosmetics which bath bombs fall under per the FDA. Also there are other ingredients in food coloring besides dye such as sugar, among other things. The colorants we use must be cosmetic safe :) please reference the FDA website and if you haven’t already, please watch part 1 of my tutorial where I go in depth about colorants. Hope this helps

Southern Skye Beauty I made my first batch today.. but I’m not sure they will come out quite right. The only difference I used was, I used a “Glycerin soap color”. I feel my mixture is going to be too dry and not harden together. I know In the video U said it can be to wet and u can let it dry before putting citric acid in. I had the opposite effect. Also not sure if it’s because of the soap color I used or not. But I put quite a bit of color into my liquid mix, but when adding it to the dry. The color was super pale. When I tried to just add the color and some alcohol to the mix, to make it darker the color didn’t want blend. I had to hand smash it and that helped a little.. Any suggestions?
