Testing 4 Recipes for the best BUBBLY bath bomb! | Day 286/365

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

My camera took a bath for this content.

[@soapsoilandsunshine3241]

A literal bath? If so . . . damn. If not . . . ha ha. Great content - as usual. I love your style. You don't have anyone to impress and that's refreshing.

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

A literal bath. RIP camera. 😱😭

[@soapsoilandsunshine3241]

@@MrsSoapAndClay Oh dear, hope you get a million views to help pay for a new one. At least it went out in style and you weren't shooting a toilet bomb fizzing. he he he

[@elaineroth4361]

Oh no! Poor camera.. I am sorry.

[@VWeiss-et8pi]

Sorry to hear about your camera. They aren't cheap!

Can't wait for the lakes and dyes deep dive! This was fun to watch!

[@nilzagarcia6341]

Fantastic demo, I’m impressed with the length of time the SLSA & SCI bombs foamed. I’m partial to the Poly 80 & SLSA. I thank you for taking the time to do these demos in your tub. I appreciate all the tips and tricks and love the colors you chose. Have a wonderful evening, enjoy the rest of this partly cloudy day.❤️❤️❤️

[@MsAubrey]

I love learning new stuff! Thank you! But darn it… now I have to order some poly 80. 😂 I really liked the reaction of that one.

[@soapsoilandsunshine3241]

LOL I bought the Poly 80 before the citric acid and (baking soda) bicarb in Australia. Haven't made a single bath bomb in my life, about to start though. Let the fun and games begin. I don't soak in a bath often as we're on tank water. Shower steamers are on my list as well.

[@loricolwell1470]

Just love demonstration day. 💕💕 loved the colors

[@osirissteward550]

Love the colors combo 😍 great job!

[@pandatoyou]

I didn't have the money for SLSA or SCI or polysorbate 80 so I used liquid soap I made. Works great for bubbles and mica. No mess to clean up, disperses everything nicely. Looks very similar to SLSA

[@Joureyoffaith555]

Me too

[@IHeArTrOcK20]

What did you use instead?

[@pandatoyou]

@@IHeArTrOcK20 Liquid soap. Made it using a soap paste recipe from Mrs Soap and Clay. Works great

[@sudsnsatin]

Good experiment. Thanks for sharing, I did wonder about the difference between SLSA and SCI; now I know.

[@NancylynnMaineMadesoaps]

Thank you for going through the different Bath Bombs. I found each one to be interesting on how they reacted with each change. I loved number 2 ❤️

[@tara6777]

That was fun! Thanks for sharing. I usually use a poly80 and slsa combo. Hi S&C Kidlet #2😉

[@nerinat8371]

Awesome demo!!! Thanks again

[@waynegross2113]

I would simply cut back the amount of SLSA, and use like a 1/8 th cup in each color. Just to give it a little bubbling action. That way it doesn't diminish the fizz to much. I don't do a ton of bath bombs yet. Although I want too. I don't have a tub anymore ;( so I guess I'm jealous of those who do, lol!

[@wj5442]

The first year when I made bath bombs I made so many. Even used your frosting recipe. Best ever. And they all came out amazing. Next year. All of them crumbled. So I put them in a plastic container with a lid. I mean it looked pretty but still was annoying to have them all crumble. Love your content and learning. :)

[@da5449]

Amazing....I never knew how bath bombs were made..I like the second one the best! .Im going to make some.... thanks for your videos and 365

[@Scrangelive33]

Thank you so much 😊, my favourite yt creator !

[@elaineroth4361]

Have to ask.. which is your favourite to use? Thanks for all your shares.. the best Chanel to watch. Thank you as always.

[@naturalcombinations]

Your super cool appreciate your channel, lots of effort!

[@niccoleholmes567]

Hi, how do you control the humidity in the room you store your bathbombs and what is the humidity level you keep the room at so the bathbombs don't activate? Thank you so much and have a beautiful day.

[@heathermoreland6015]

Hi I’ve been looking for a way to color my bath bombs both blue and green, but have been unable to find a skin safe mica. What would you recommend to achieve these type of colors?

[@dominique6861]

Poly 80 is regulated In EU and is forbiden to use In bath product because of cancerogenic issue

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

True!

[@mariacosti5224]

i add sunflower lecithin liquid to warmed up cocoa butter

[@IHeArTrOcK20]

Thanks for the great info here

[@Aashka_The_Mystic]

I put a small amount of slsa and increased my citric acid

[@herbsandberries]

What is the average humidity in your soap studio?

[@TheLLCoolJD]

Awesome, helpful vid, thank you! Were these the amounts you added to your full bath bomb standard, or did you make smaller batches to test?

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Full recipe!

[@VWeiss-et8pi]

Hi Chantene. I've been watching your great videos for months and love them. So generous with your recipes. I made your original Bath Bomb recipe of the 2 cup Baking soda, 1 cup citric acid, 1/2 cup corn starch and the Tbsp. each of water, oil, fragrance. I watched the one recently where you tested 4 and the one adding 2 Tbsp. of poly 80 was added. I tried that and it was to wet. I wasn't sure which ingredient or ingredients would be best to add to fix that so it would still work okay. Did you add extra of something to compensate for the extra 2 Tbsp. of the poly 80? I didn't hear anything in the video that you did. You are the expert on this so wanted your advice. Thanks so much.

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Hey! So glad you’re playing with the recipes! If a bath bomb mixture is too wet, there could be environmental issues at play (heat, humidity) - I recommend adding more baking soda to the batch in that case to dry it out, or reducing the water amount for the next batch. Let me know how it works!

[@VWeiss-et8pi]

@@MrsSoapAndClay Thanks so much. I'm about to make another batch but smaller to test, lol. Two extra tablespoons of liquid made it definitely to wet. I left them to dry and they had raised cracks in them. I added more baking soda, but evidently it wasn't enough. I'll increase. Thanks again. Keep up the great videos. You are funny and blunt! Love it!

[@sparklingfashion6276]

Can you do one with coco betaine - i heard thats a good foamer

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

I didn’t do cocobetaine in this? Whoops! So if you mix SCI AND CocoBetaine together, you have a delightful fizzy foamy bomb, for sure!

[@jaaycb3907]

Are these additives natural or good for the skin at least ?

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Hey! These are all surfactants, and as to whether or not they're natural really depends on your definition of the term (as it's a rather vague one with no legal definition in the US). The surfactants are meant to be super sensitive and are naturally derived, but many opt to not use surfactants of any form in their bomb recipes to keep the ingredient list as simple as possible.

[@jaaycb3907]

@@MrsSoapAndClay thank you I was just wondering because I like bath ,not super sensitive but I am a female so certain parts with some brands can irritate you know like I opt out of lush due to the high amounts of color and glitters. Thank you for this information.

[@deedevlin4539]

something else to boggle the brain 😁

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

All of the soapy brain things!

[@makeit2649]

Thanks for doing all the experiments, and a post-mortem thanks to your camera for its sacrifice on our behalf! 😭My SLSa happy place is only .25% of the total recipe (note the decimal point). In a 775g batch, that works out to ~2g SLSa, or about a teaspoon. Even that small amount gives great foam without causing breakage or any need to increase recipe liquids. My PS80 is at 1.5% of the total recipe; that takes care of dispersing everything nicely for easy clean-up. HTH!

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Thanks so much for sharing your soapy info!
