Missouri River Soap is not responsible for any outcome that results from testing or using this recipe. Follow all safety precautions and heed all warnings for the production and use of bath bombs.
✨ I N G R E D I E N T I N F O:
*SLSa - Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate is a sulfate free surfactant. It is derived from coconut and palm and is gentle and mild. It is Eco Certified. The coarse powder does not need to be ground but does have a larger particle size that helps to keep the powder less airborne than the fine. I only buy from Two Wild Hares as this is my preferred SLSa.
*Polysorbate 80 is an emulsifier. This helps to incorporate the oils and colors into the bath water without floating on the surface. This also helps to prevent colors from leaving a ring on the tub...and you!
*Pay attention the to IFRA usage rates for the fragrance you choose.
*Citric Acid Powder - I look for Anhydrous Fine
* Colorants - Make sure you pick colorants and glitter that is safe for bath bombs. Lakes and Dyes must be batch certified. Not all micas and glitters are safe for bath bombs. Pay very close attention to this!
B-3 BOMBER BATH BOMB PRESS - This press is amazing! In full disclosure, I was gifted this machine back in January of 2019. The exchange was to show the machine and how it works and to just enjoy it. That's it! I fulfilled all obligations a while ago! However, I love this machine and I love to support other small businesses. I am grateful for the opportunity and I feel this product is superbly made. Please note that we purchased the air compressor, hoses, dials, additional molds, etc., on our own. Head over to bathbombmachine.com to learn more.

OMG you need to create a scratch & sniff screen! Lol 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@moriversoap]

Wouldn't that be awesome! I'd make a fortune! lol

[@soakitinartisansoap]

I just want to say that, thanks to you and your comment on the Cooklee Mixer, I just bought one and it's due to arrive tomorrow!! Thanks for commenting on yours - exactly what I needed without breaking the bank. Your bathbombs came out super 😍 cute!! As a soap and bath product maker too, I thoroughly enjoy watching you make your products, so relaxing, fun and personable - very inspiring! Great job!!

[@jahmellesherman8224]

Holly I have used many of your bath bombs and this one looks sooo creamy in the water. Love it

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Jahmelle! YAY!

[@RitualSoapCollection]

Love your videos. You are inspirational. Thanks for the toothpick technique. 🙏🏽

[@sadedavis]

I am so glad you decided to post a bath bomb video. I have been making my own at home and have been running into trouble with them crumbling and staying together. This video has been very informative for the ways I can improve my technique

[@moriversoap]

That's great! I am glad it was helpful to you. Bath bombs are so finicky and are quite difficult to really get figured out. Even if I do and share the recipe, it's not guaranteed to work for someone else. It seems it is different for everyone due to humidity, ingredients used, etc.. I bought a 50 lb bag of Arm & Hammer Baking Soda and one would assume it's the same thing. Nope...I can't press a decent bath bomb for anything with it. It doesn't matter how much liquid I add, etc.. It just won't stay together. But I do see other more commercial makers using it and apparently work with it just fine.

[@mariangies]

Hi Holly, thank you so much for sharing this. I’d love to make these for my grandkids. Mines won’t be as beautiful as yours but they’ll still love them. You are an amazing person. God bless you 🙏🏻

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Maria!

[@Ster_Marie]

I’m saving this for later tonight. It will be my treat for the day.

[@moriversoap]

That's fantastic! Thank you!

[@charliharrison1533]

I think you did awesome! I didn't even notice the wee bit of purple sticking out until I watched your video. I have been too busy sniffing the smell because it's amazeballs! After watching to the end, I think you did a fabulous job of demonstrating all of the work that goes in from start to finish on what it takes to create ONE product! Thanks for your generosity of sharing all the information. I was looking at the national shrinkwrap and after seeing you use it, it will be the next 'big' purchase!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Charli! It is quite a bit of work but it's fun too. I am so glad you are enjoying sniffing the bath bomb you purchased. It's such a delightful scent. The shrink wrap system is very handy!

[@scentofheavenco]

Absolutely lovely as always.

I place my bombs directly under running water. Yes, your bombs make massive bubbles. I love them!

Love watching your videos. Especially your old ones but they disappeared on me today. Everything you make is gorgeous and your videos relax me

Thank you Melissa. I'm doing some tidying up of the older videos. I hope to add most back on.

@@moriversoap Thank you Holly, love seeing how far you have come. I'm currently 4 years back, catching up quickly

[@sheilaanderson912]

Your bath bombs look lovely. Oh my gosh, I am literally waiting for Amazon to deliver my 9.5qt cooklee stand mixer! I'm just starting out and want to experiment. It is a very affordable option. Thanks for sharing your recipe and technique! Merry Christmas.

[@moriversoap]

Oh how fun! I've already gotten more use out of my two than with the Kitchen Aids I have. If I fill them too full, they will shut down on their own. So far, that has only happened once. Merry Christmas to you and happy crafting!

[@mc2waxandsoapworksheatherm495]

I love that mixer!! I have 2 small kitchen aid mixers. One I bought at a yard sale and it’s older than me, and I’m 45, and that stinker is still going strong! I’m sure one of these days it’s going to leave me and I’ll need a new one.

[@mc2waxandsoapworksheatherm495]

Also: I made yellow bath bombs once and realized upon testing they definitely need imbeds to alter the color so it doesn’t look like you tinkled in your bath water 😳😂

[@moriversoap]

That's fantastic! I have three Kitchen Aids. One I was given as a gift when I was leaving home. It was refurbished and it is still hanging in there. I have two 6 qt Kitchen Aids and have just never loved them. So when I bought the Cooklees, I just put the Kitchen Aids back in their boxes. Haha, yes, about the yellow bath bombs too. I was trying really hard to stay towards a creamy yellow. I know it's still going to look a hint weird in the tub. lol

[@EllenRuthSoap]

These look scrumptious! 😍

[@moriversoap]

Thank you!

[@maritawallace5510]

LOVED your video, I’m going to try your recipe as soon as possible. May I ask where you got the glitter? And is the sprayer separate or does it come with the glitter in there already? Thx ever so much! This is the just video of yours that I’ve watched, so I’ll be subscribing and watching others real soon. I love your presentation skills, you’re a very good teacher and I thoroughly enjoy your banter! Take care, and stay safe!💕

Hey! Holly....absolutely 💯.! Now if you could set your mind to making one to mix with water for me to drink that would be fantastic!!! 🥰🤣. Thanks as ever. 💜

Thank you Sarah!

[@carolineaguilar7921]

Hi Holly I was wondering if u knew the stick trick when pouring out fragrance hold up stick to mouth of jar and it will run down stick instead of spilling 😉 ur the best, I love watching. Happy new year

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Caroline! Happy New Year! Yeah, I put a note on the video that I should have used a chopstick. 😉

[@kaaayl11]

23:04 ngl totally thought it was white chocolate at first LOL

[@moriversoap]

Haha, it does look pretty much the same. I'll be using some today to make dipped pretzels. LOL

[@steelersgirl071961]

Hi Holly, these look so nice and they sound relaxing in the tub 😌. When weighing out essential oils, do you go by the total batch or the oils itself? Thank you 😊 💓.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! I am guessing your question is for cold process soap. I figure the essential oils based on the oil amount.

[@lauriewilson4741]

I have not tried them yet but one of the soapers raves about the twist on caps that you flip the top up and it just drizzles out the fragrance without spilling. I’ve seen them on Amazon and I think wholesale plus. I’m gonna get some soon

[@moriversoap]

That would work great I'd think. I did end up using the bottles with other batches and it was so much easier...except for the cleaning.

[@fizzbathbodycare125]

Love the video, thank you for sharing. I don’t have a bath bomb press machine but I do have a 3-D donut mold and for some reason I can’t get it to work properly. It doesn’t hold together. It always split in the middle. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong HELP!!!!! 😂🤣😂

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! Are you using one like from Cada Molds? From my understanding, you may need to have a little more oil in the mix. Make sure you tap the edges with a spoon to help it release. Every now and again, rub some baking soda in the mold and tap it out. That seems to help with some of the sticking.

[@fizzbathbodycare125]

@@moriversoap thank you, I will try the baking soda idea 💡. Sorry forgot to say your donuts 🍩 look amazing

[@lauriewilson4741]

That happens to me also! I’ll try more oil

[@auds.smiley991]

Hi Holly. Thanks for sharing this. Can I ask you a question? How much mica powder do you add in? Coz I try making at home about 8-10 bath bomb per batch. And I use half a tea spoon. And for some reason, the mica powder actually stain my bath tub. Making it so hard to clean. Is it because I throw in the mica in powder form? Or should I put it in water and dissolve it first before putting in?

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! Did you use Polysorbate 80 so that the mica disperses in water? I don't tend to have troubles with the smaller amounts of mica.

[@kwesiassabere756]

Hello Holly, really love your video. I am a little curious, when you spray your soap with alcohol, what kind of alcohol are you spraying onto the soap please as you don't clarify what alcohol is in the bottle spray? Many thanks.

[@moriversoap]

I usually just say a high percentage alcohol. I would vary between 91% and 99%. I often found I had better luck with 91% but many would argue that 99% is better.

[@jacquiericard5190]

Is a batch # only required in the USA? Do we Canadians require a batch #? You have shown me a ton of techniques like no other. I have watched a gazillion videos as I have not yet started! Thank you so so much for your expertise!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Jacquie! I don't know about Canada but maybe you will be able to get your answer from someone here or in a FB group maybe.

[@truemoonmagic4497]

I used to use milk powder in my bath bombs and I used a vanilla fragrance from a favorite supplier and I don't know if there was a bad reaction or what but within a few weeks the bath bombs was watery and moldy. Weird. I made several batches with other FO that day and that is the only one it ever happened with.

[@moriversoap]

That is definitely weird!

[@lois_lane0867]

I love your videos :) How do you manage to use water in a recipe and not start the reaction of citric acid with water in a bomb? I even react to 95% alcohol, because it contains 5% water :)

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! I am using very little water to the ratio of the final product. The baking soda at first has just a very slight moisture content but it's still dry...if that makes sense. I do want it to react just the tiniest bit because that helps it to get harder and they ship better that way. By adding the citric acid last, I have very little reaction. If I have to add some spritzes of alcohol, it will sometimes fizz just the tiniest bit but it blends in fast with the mixer without any negative results.

[@rachelleh5237]

Looks wonderful. Merry Christmas Jesus loves you ❤

Yeah! Im the first

[@moriversoap]

Woo hoo! Thank you Yolanda!

[@BB-du2wb]

what is slsa

[@moriversoap]

Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate is a sulfate free surfactant. It is derived from coconut and palm and is gentle and mild. It is Eco Certified. It is what creates the foam and then the fluffy bubbles. Be sure to check out the video description for more info.

[@marielee3702]

Was really loving your whipped sugar scrubs videos, but the came up gone.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you. The suppliers keep changing usage info and I just can't trust that people will look to the description for updated information.
