We cover it in detail in some of our other bath bomb activities, but in brief it is an acid-base reaction that is triggered by the addition of water. We also have emulsifiers and surfactants. The emulsifier (Polysorbate 80) makes the oils and water of the bath mix nicely. The surfactant (SLSA) helps create a luxurious foam bath. So you get the wonderful bath fizzy fun, followed by a silky, soothing foam bath.

Second only to how cool they look, I love how easy they are to make. It really doesn’t take long at all and you get something that looks like you put a lot of effort in. Winning!

A Bath Bomb Trend

The amount of chemicals in store bought bath bombs can be crazy. By making them yourself, you know exactly what is in it and you can ensure you are happy with every single ingredient. They Are Easy And Fun To Make You don’t need to use much colouring – a small pinch can work well. Add a small amount to start with and then you can add more if you want more colour. Put on your gloves, then spray rubbing alcohol onto the mixture a small bit at a time to keep it from fizzing. Use your hands to stir and incorporate the alcohol into dry mixture to break down any clumps. The mixture is perfect when it feels like wet sand and you can make clumps with your hands that stay together. **Please note** You may need to use your spray bottle of rubbing alcohol to spritz your mixture while you're putting it into the molds, if it gets too dry. Give a few spritzes and mix together until it has that wet sand feel again. Allow to set for at least one hour. If you plan to wrap these for gifting, I recommend leaving them overnight before wrapping to ensure everything is well set.
