[@CreativeBathLab]

Whatever size your molds are

[@MyCalmplxTheory]

What do you do when your bath bomb mixture goes from too wet to too dry and turns into sand? Do you keep adding fragrance, more oils, witch hazel?? What do you do to rehydrate dry bath bombs mix without going crazy with the oils?

[@CreativeBathLab]

This is the first time I’ve gotten this question & was (is) still a big issue. So first, GREAT QUESTION. Once your mix gets like this it can be salvaged, but it will never be the same as when you first mixed wet/dry together. You could add witch Hazel/alcohol but I find that dries my mix out more than before. I normally try to save it by adding more POLYSORBATE a little bit at a time. I’ll work with it the best I can & if not, I’ll throw it away. Here’s the key: don’t make big batches. Only make small batches at a time Bc the mix is at its peak performing ability when it’s FRESHLY mixed!

After you place the bath bomb in the holder molds- how do you avoid the impression from the holder mold onto the bath bomb?

[@victorwright5174]

Hi!! I happened upon your videos one day months ago while searching for how to make swirled lollipops. I was amazed and angry cause I watched it and kept saying “people EAT this stuff in suckers?” not realizing I was watching your lollipop bath video.😂😂😂😂 Every time I look for something tho, your videos pop up so I said “self, check her out.” You are a very nice and sweet person. (I’m from Opelousas but I live in Kentucky so I get it now. 😉) You videos are soooo informative and make me feel like I can conquer the bath world with my imagination. I have a lot of questions but I’ll take them step by step as I come up on complications. I just want you to know that you are great at what you do, to thank you for sharing with us, to tell you we all appreciate your kindness and selflessness (cause you don’t have to share anything with us), and to say you have a new follower for about a month now and I consider you family. Every time I get ready to practice with anything I always say now “what would my good cousin Dora do now?” 😘 P.S. What is cocoa betaine? What does it do?Do I have to use it in bath bombs?🤔

[@CreativeBathLab]

Wow, what a lovely compliment! Thanks so much! coco betaine is a mild surfactant & a foam booster. I use it to slow the vigor of the bath bomb... If you don't have something to buffer the bath bomb's reactions (like coco betaine), it'll fizz & bubble so quickly that it lasts maybe 1 minute. No, it is not necessary in bath bombs. I just like it because it gives me the results that I am looking for.

[@kab0067]

I really enjoy watching your videos. You are very talented. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and talent with these videos. I am just starting out with bath bombs and wondering after you make your bombs, how/where do you let them sit while drying? Do you have a mold tray or something to let them dry? I imagine you can't let them sit on flat oan etc or the bottom would flatten. If you use tray or such where can I purchase it? Also, I am in Texas by the gulf, it' ALWAYS humid just like in Louisiana as you know. I purchased a dehumidifier but 50% humidity seriously... how do you ever get that much work done??!! Thank you so much!

[@CreativeBathLab]

I have little holder molds (cheap little tin molds that are useless for molding so I use them to hold the drying bombs) although I have just let them set out on the counter & they've been fine. I just leave them in the room overnight in the holder molds. Yeah its best to make bombs under 40% humidity but honestly, I make them ANYWAYS. As you said, its humid & the ONLY time I get 40-50% is in the dead of winter.

[@kab0067]

@@CreativeBathLab Exactly! The humidity is brutal here in South East Texas. Thank you so much for answering and your videos. I love them! In fact I decided to start soapmaking because of them. I had several strokes last year ans unable to work office job anymore. It gets boring at the house all day everyday. Watching you and the joy it brings I figure I will I try soapmaking as a hobby. It will help me strengthen and train my brain answering bonus of getting a surprise each time I create. Thanks again for giving me something to something to look forward to💜

[@xanaxsnax]

Hey Dora! I looked on the list a couple of times but I didn't see where you get your colors from. I have tried several kinds but keep finding that anything purple or red leaves rings or residue in the tub. I am also having a hard time getting these colors to be vibrant in my mix. Can you recommend some brands? How much mica and how many drops do you recommend for a batch with one solid color? I wonder if I'm not using enough. Thanks and happy new year!

[@CreativeBathLab]

I make my own color powder with liquid food colorants, here is the info: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZytXmahnqhrm6c Always use polysorbate 80 & then you shouldn't have rings. For liquid food colorant, liquid-gel is the best & most vibrant. How many drops is up to you. For really vibrant colors, I use about 10 drops per batch & always add color powder & a bit of neon mica. Hopes this helps!

Are preservatives needed And what's the best company to purchase everything needed to make bath bombs

No preservative needed sweetie. There’s no 1 specific co to get EVERYTHING… but for main ingredients, this depends on how many & how often u plan on making them! For example if you plan on making A LOT, ALL THE TIME- I’d suggest buying in bulk… the shipping is pricey but it pays off in the long run. If you plan on “dabbling” or you’re just getting into it, Amazon for sure!

Hi Dora. I love watching your videos. Very informative and you are so creative and have great tips. I just started making them a few months ago. Still playing with the recipe.

Is that okay or should it be non-breathable? Thanks

I’m still waiting on my poly 80 delivery. It’s hard to get in Canada easily. In the mean time what do you suggest I substitute it with in this recipe? Witch hazel?

Search for another emulsifier

Thank you very much for this information and video. I have a question, I was going to use essential oils to mine, what other wet ingredient would I use to make up the difference between my 25 drops vs. Three teaspoons (or tablespoons) you used of fragrance oil? Thank you!

[@CreativeBathLab]

You are very welcome. You can use which ever wet ingredient that you want! Carrier oil, water, polysorbate 80, etc.

Having a brain blurb. Dora, when it comes to witch hazel, do we use the one with or w/o alcohol? 🙄

[@CreativeBathLab]

Either/or or both

Thank you so much!! I loved this recipe! Can't wait to try it! I have few doubts. Should I go with the same simple recipe if I'm living in a humid country? Also, do we need to add distilled water or witch hazel if we feel it's too dry?

[@CreativeBathLab]

Thanks! Yes, use my simple recipe, if it’s still dry you can add whichever liquid. Just know that adding witch Hazel & alcohol will fix it for a bit but then the mix gets even drier. I’d suggest using POLYSORBATE 80 or carrier oil

Hi, I love all your videos super helpful! Have you ever tried doing bath bombs with powder whole milk? I saw it on a different channel they said it’s a natural emulsifiers but now my bombs keep coming out powdery and I’m not sure how to fix it.

[@CreativeBathLab]

Yes, I’ve tried every milk powder ever made, they’re all awesome!

[@NESSE1011]

@@CreativeBathLab do you have a recipe using powder milk that you can share? I’d like to try your recipe instead 😊

Great great videos 💜, can really see your passion & knowledge into bath bombs. I have a question for you, I've noticed you use coco betaine sometimes and was curious for how come ? Guessing some formulas require/do better with it than others, but figured I'd ask. My other question for you--do you use SLSA & Sodium alginate often for the core & outer skin of bath bombs, or just for some in particular? Thank you and keep up the great work 😊

[@CreativeBathLab]

Thanks so much! Coco betaine is a surfactant & as such it slows the vigor, allowing the bomb to last longer & actually form bubbles & foam. You should watch my “make bombs like lush videos, this explains everything

Would you say mica is better or food colouring Also is a preservative needed at any point

[@CreativeBathLab]

They’re both great & both have advantages. I like to use liquid as a base color to start off with & then add a little color powder &/or mica to get the exact color that I’m going for. 1 isn’t necessarily better or more concentrated than the other; it just depends on what you want & your preference... no preservative needed! Preservatives are only needed when you’re making something that’ll be exposed to water over an extended period of time (like scrub bars, salt scrub, etc). The preservative will keep mold/bacteria from forming & growing
