[@thehempgirl]

Jerika, there are some pretty massive bbomb-er groups that I'm part of, and this past week your video above was shared by someone who tried your recipe and directions. They posted a video of their bomb and it performed just incredible - that's what made me want to see your recipe. I'm a product formulator but as you know bath bombs are unique in that climate plays such a big role and one recipe may not work for someone else in a different part of the world. I've tried dozens and dozens of alterations and different recipes entirely Jerika... Well... I thought I'd give your recipe a try as well, so I watched your whole video (and a couple others, what kind of camera/light do you use for filming btw? would love to know) ANYWAYS... I wish I could post a pic on here of how my bath bombs turned out... The whole time I was mixing, I kept thinking... Nope. There's no way this mix is going to stick.. There's not enough oil for my climate. It feels really dry! I'm gunna need to add more oil or shea to make it stick!!! I decided to keep strict to your recipe and not make any alterations, and it was time to mold so I might as well try. Lightly packed my round molds with an embed stuffed inside, pressed em together aaaand LO AND BEHOLD!!! Tapped out just about the damn smoothest perfect bomb in history, it almost reflected a gloss off its surface (Not even kidding, these are the smoothest bombs I've ever freakin' seen) AND THEY HANDLE SO WELL! It was even easy to press them out of cookie cutter molds without falling apart. I can't say enough good things. I wish I could hug you. Where do you live lol I wanna product dev collab with you LOL. Thank you so much for sharing this video, I'm so glad it made it down the grape vine to my Facebook 🙏🙏💖 I don't usually write reviews like this or subscribe to ppls KZbin's, but even my Bf encouraged me to do so after seeing me watch your videos, so you're def doing something right!!! 😂💖 Take care!!

[@JerikaZimmerman]

YESSSS! I love these results! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@ThePinkBinks]

I was actually watching this to see how to make laundry tablets (laundry bombs?) because I don’t like the store bought ones and can’t use them. I appreciate your comment about climate, thank you. I’m putting my own recipe together because I’m allergic to store mixes and the local water makes a huge difference so they don’t work as advertised. Now I know to only make them when the weather is right. The info and warning is very much appreciated especially as all these videos seem to be made in hot climates and I’m in a cold, damp climate. I’d love to know if a press is better than just dehydrators in a damp climate though. Not sure if I can rig up a vacuum press right now.

[@uncorkedcowgirl]

I'm trying this recipe tonight. I used to love my BB press but the weather is dry right now and I've been on the struggle bus to struggle town! I mean, ready to quit and that's not like me! If this works, I'm building a shrine in Jerika's honor! Next step -- how to incorporate powdered goat milk in my recipe.

[@TheCupcakeCritic]

This recipe seriously saved my sanity. I was getting so frustrated with my bath bomb press because the recipe they sent me and others I tried just wouldn't work. This one works perfectly.

[@neraknerak1]

Jerika and partner are very generous and kind-hearted to share all of their business recipes, ingredients and processes.

All I can say is WOW!!!! So informative, very high quality product.

[@GloriaJackson-un7pg]

I have made your recipe a few times now in the last week and it is amazing. I have tried several recipes on my own trying to formulate them and they all was a fail but you saved me from giving up. Thank you so much for sharing

[@amiegilson4794]

I wanted to thank you!!! I decided to start out and have been collecting materials, packaging etc (all eco) then I found your channel!!! Now I am not as frightened to really get stuck in and give it a real go.. hoping to have all I need to make my first batch next weekend!!! You are amazing and your channel is inspirational ❤

[@antionettemarie5315]

This is one of the only videos I've seen that dont include epsom salt, I appreciate that, lol. Great video and very detailed. I think I'll invest in a bath bomb press as well. Thanks for sharing!

[@NotChoMamasChannel]

Omg they worked!! Thank u for sharing. I have made so many failed bath bomb and was pretty much throwing in the towel w them. Decided to try last time and These worked!!! Thank u thank u!!!

[@jenniferdevitt2240]

I just unpacked mine. So excited!

[@trueseattleite6958]

Liked for the t-shirt! 👍🏻Thanks for the video!

[@mommagroff]

Thank you Jerika for such a wonderful gentle and kind spirit you have. My daughter and I are going to start a tanning salon with an extension of hemp bath bombs, lotions, body butters, goat milk soap and hemp shampoos. I downloaded your stating a business post and am so grateful to you. ❤❤❤

[@alwyngreen7205]

Thank you for sharing this video I don’t add cream of tartar in my bath bombs or my Bath Bomb Bubble Sand, but I do add Kaolin Clay and Diatomaceous Earth Clay

[@brookehodge135]

Hey, just a word of caution...diatomaceous earth isn't clay, it's crushed up shells and calcium carbonate organisms and has super sharp edges that can damage skin. Just wanted to let you know. It's super awesome as a pest control though!

[@katherinepeters8028]

Yes 🙌🏻 thank you I'm from Alabama and me and my daughter loves them and son

[@patt1136]

Thank you so much for this video! I have tried making bath bombs a couple of times and it was an epic fail. I made this recipe tonight and they are perfect!! 🤩

[@hatgawz]

I liked your explanation, even though it is your own project, and I also liked the back frame written in Arabic calligraphy in final video

[@wendycain1846]

Jerika, bless you, finally I have a fab recipe for bath boms, SO GRATEFUL for your generosity in sharing. I have learnt so much from you, thank you

[@simplesarahgirl9691]

I used this and they turned out great first time. Minnesota

[@MrOpinion-h8d]

I love this I’m gonna start my own bath bong company!

[@micayla8799]

This is super helpful! I have 1 question though: does your recipe include your embed as well? Will I need additional ingredients for that? 🤔♥️

[@donnaviolette6102]

Hello from Northern Maine , Thanks for all the tips. Your recipe is the best I have tried, will not change a thing . Thank you

[@karenricha35]

Hey there Jerika - Let me say - I am so Thankful for this video. So I received a bathbomb press for Christmas...Yay...been waiting 6 years....and I am having so much difficulty with my recipes. I would ask on forums -"How do I tweak it"? "How can I keep skin loving ingredients and still use this press?" ...I would search and search and search. So...as of today - I am about to give it a try! Fingers crossed! - Karen!

[@traceykilgore5105]

That color is so vibrant I love it

[@frocksandscrubsadvanceecoc3533]

Love this recipe... I am really happy I found this channel "Yeah!

[@followyourbliss7714]

Love what your doing just wish I could find a way to remove chemicals & alcohol. Video production was awesome 👏 👏👏

[@jennaherndon82]

Hey Jerika! I love your video and how you explained everything. Question though, what size are your bombs? I did a half recipe and I was only able to get 4 3.5in bombs out of it.. I did have a tiny mishap when my metal measuring scoop feel in my mixer, I lost some mix there. I don’t know if my scale is off but I can’t imagine if I did the whole recipe it would make 18-20. Thank you!!

[@deniserolon19]

Thank You so much for sharing and the step by step.. amazing job ❤️

Best of luck!

[@janellemcnae1129]

Thank you so very much for providing such wonderful inspiration, as well as sharing your beautiful creations. I am so very thankful. I made the bath bomb recipe today but for some reason, the 24g of isopropyl alcohol I added is quite over-powering. I carefully measured the exact quantities of all ingredients. Am I doing something wrong?

[@SugarSmack216]

I was looking to see if anyone else had commented on this! I found that the 24g of isopropyl alcohol overpowered and distorted the fragrance. Do you have any suggestions for this?? Do you not experience this?? Thank you

[@tammysoutherland1405]

Trying to say you are just down to earth. In willing to show us to have something to do.

[@gilbertburnett6244]

Hi jerika you are my mentor all the way from scotland I have been enjoying the soapy science for just before Xmas and as I am texting I am mixing a batch for bath bombs. Thank you for your teachings and inspiration

[@simplywhimsysoaps1267]

Thank you so much for the video! I've struggled a lot to make the round bath bombs so I've just switched to the disk shape but I might give it a go again.

[@persephonestars2587]

I can’t wait to try this recipe! Thank you for taking the time to show us how to do this. YOU ROCK! Thank you, queen! :-)

[@JerikaZimmerman]

You are so welcome!

[@karinacolombo6554]

Hello Jerika, I honestly admire you. From the excellent products, videos and dedication. Here in Australia we have been in lockdown for 5 weeks and you keep me going, cant thank you enough. I have one question, followed your bath bomb recipe and my bombs are not floating or foaming like yours, what could I be doing wrong? Many thanks and keep your hard work as its healing to the world 👍🥰

[@nancyspence2965]

Very simply presented, makes me want to do it. Thank you for sharing.

Hey! I just found you today! I run a bath bomb shop in South Wales, UK. I buy in my bombs wholesale, the end goal was always to make my own.... your videos have inspired me to make a start, have fun playing about and finally apply for an assessment next year! Thank you. I would love to be able to pick your brain if there is a way to do so? I know the rules and regulations may be different for UK though! Anyway! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you 😊 xx

[@christianemeneses6604]

Hey Jerika, thank you for the recipe. I tried it myself and It didn't turn out so great, but I'm a beginner. Look forward to all your posts!!

Hi, Jerika I tried your recipe and it came out perfect!!! So thank you so much but I worked too slow and after the first 4 it dried out on me 😪. But they smell so good.

[@rootedintrust]

Thank you for posting and sharing this video. When I make my bathbombs. They are not very hard. I am going try your receipe. What do you use to make it harder.

[@JerikaZimmerman]

We use cream of tartar and kaolin clay to harden the bath bombs. And then we dry them in the drying trays which prevents the bottoms from flattening.

[@indynikaj5365]

Thank you for sharing your recipe and making so good videos!🥰

[@deirdremoniquemellaninncom8729]

Great Share!

[@triciafeeley8767]

Hi Jerika! I just started watching your channel - you and your hubby are FABULOUS. So down to earth and I love that you're a team :) Anyway - I have NEVER made bath bombs before. Actually I have never even tried a bath bomb before. I had someone request them from me so I tried this recipe and it was PERFECT. I was NOT expecting my first batch to be perfect. Thank you :) I am now going to be a bath bomb addict.

[@JerikaZimmerman]

I LOVE comments like this ❤️❤️❤️

[@swatimehra8372]

U explains so appropriate...Loads of blessings to u...

[@cindylove8724]

Do you have a smaller batch recipe, I really want to make these. I bought a book of some recipes none had have the stuff your using. Thanks this video was very informative.

[@persephonestars2587]

Just half her recipe. That’s what I’m going to do on my first try.

[@jamesburbage7564]

Thank you for this. I’ve never tried a bath bomb.

[@mariamslipgloss907]

this was very helpful thankyou sooooo much for this i needed it

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Glad it was helpful!

[@namhla_thevillageceo]

Beautiful to watch! I'd like to try this recipe in a smaller batch, do you perhaps have the recipe in percentages so that I can be able to scale it down to a smaller batch? Can't wait to try it out.😀

[@namhla_thevillageceo]

Also can I substitute the alcohol? Any suggestions?

[@Hooch737]

Thank you Jerika! I’m kinda a tool nut so I have everything except that mongo press (I love it btw). What kind of psi are we talking about? Any suggestions for recipe modification for dry high altitude?

[@jenmonson-sq1tm]

I'm excited to try your recipe, just getting into the bathbomb making fun! It's been a struggle. Thanks for sharing your recipe!!! Could you tell me where you get the tin to dry them in. I've been trying to leave them in the mold, but all too often they stick even if I rotate them into a new cup. I've tried taking them out and setting them on the table but then they flatten. UGH. Anyway, thanks for your video! It's encouraging to keep me going!

[@darabowling5504]

Jerika, about how much water do you initially mix with the dye? And how much hot water do you add to bloom the dye afterwards?

[@natasharenae3873]

Love your videos they are so soothing and informative!!! Thanks for sharing ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks so much! ☺️

Found this recipe and it's been my favourite so far. Makes a beautiful bath bomb thank you so much xxx

[@sabrinalashes]

Hi Jerika, thank you so much for making this video, we are big fans and watch all of your content! Me and my 9 year old are making bath bombs to sell to her friends, but they struggle to keep their shape when fresh, and are quite crumbly after being dried overnight. Can you give us any advice on why this might be happening and how to resolve the issue? Thanks! 💖

[@JerikaZimmerman]

It'll be a bigger issue with winter here and a lack of moisture. I'd try to add a little more oil and see how that goes.

[@marlenelastoria9945]

Love your videos. I’m sort of a newbie. Always looking for a good recipe. Definitely trying this one. 2 questions- I’m using a 3D mold and watched your video. You say you need to increase your liquids alot! If I’m following this BB recipe how much would you suggest to increase the liquids?? 2nd question- where did you get your drying rack?? Thank you for being kind and sharing Your products are beautiful. Thanks

[@MadisonCombs-d8c]

Hey there! Thanks for sharing this detailed video and recipe. However, if wanting to cut this recipe in half, do I jus thalf each ingredient including the oils and fragrance? I know with soap recipes you can’t just simply cut In half so I wanted to make sure what’s safe! Thank you in advance!!

[@culturallymade5561]

This is amazing-thank you so much!🥰

[@angelybe]

Bonjour Jerika, je viens d'acheter la presse pour les bombes de bain , j'ai acheté aussi le moule ronde de 2,75inch(7cm). Dans cette vidéo, tu utilise le meme? Merci beaucoup 💖

[@Saltyscales]

I'd like to chat with you about your bath bombs, let me know if interested?

[@TeodorDimov]

Hi Jerika, we tried two different batches with your recipe, but they both don't foam, and it smells pretty strong due to the SLSA. Can you give us a hint if we r doing something wrong here? We followed the recipe as written...
