My daughters have been interested in making these for a while so today we have made them using your instructions & tutorial. I managed to source the citric acid from an independent health food shop (was in the wine making section?!) and we used bicarbonate of soda. I had some rose essence left over from cake making. I used olive oil, but next time I will use almond oil as it isn't as strong smelling. We didn't have moulds so we used a silicone cupcake mould. Patted them down firmly and turned them out like sandcastles on some baking paper on a tray, to dry out. They look great & smell lovely. We are already discussing future designs & fragrances. Thank you for the tutorial. It has provided some entertainment on a wet afternoon in England!

I made these today with my daughter. It worked perfectly. We added orange zest and rose petals and it amped up the scents. This recipe made lovely bath bombs, and adding the water into the oil and food coloring mixture did not make the dry ingredients react before making the molds. It worked perfectly. I’ll be adjusting the added scents with other dried flowers in the future. Thank you for sharing your video.

Here's a trick add the citric acid last after the water is poured in because then you citric acid will not fiz out

I think I may have been doing this wrong; I used gunpowder as the main ingredient.

I made these today ( after a long and interesting search for citric acid) and I have to say, I love them! I didn't have much food colouring, so I used a red soap colouring, which worked just as well. I didn't use as much, because I wanted a lighter colour. It worked really well, the colour was a light marshmallow-pink. Awesome. I can't buy essential oils easily where I live (and shipping is a no-no) so I just used soap flavouring I found in my cupboards, in vanilla. The smell was just as amazing! I was super happy! I used almond oil instead of olive oil, as I find it a bit more moisturising and I didn't have the oilyness from the essential oils. I found that the mixture was a bit dry though, so I added one or two more teaspoons of almond oil and it was perfect. I also couldn't find a mould anywhere in any of the shops and as I said, shipping was too complicated for where I lived so i tried using silicone cupcake moulds. Well, lets just say those FAILED EPICLY. LOL. I dug around in my cupboards and found a smallish bowl and an eggcup. I followed your instructions on removing the mould and they worked perfectly. The mixture was enough for 10 large bombs and 2 smaller ones. Nearer to the end, I started playing around with them by adding sprinkles into the bottom of the mould and into the mixture. They were even more beautiful than the others! Success! I am now looking forward to a future of vanilla-cupcake-marshmallow baths. Thank you so much for your awesome tutorial, it was so helpful. The bath bombs turned out beautifully!

You guys need to look through the description box for measurements and ingredients before you call her stupid, or the video stupid.

I've tried a bunch of different tutorials....THIS was by far the best and easiest to watch. New sub here.

Depends on the size of the mold, around 4-5

[spottedstar]

tip: instead of getting a mold, you could use an egg poacher or a plastic easter egg

Wanted to do this 4 years back.. Bought the ingredients but left inside cupboard and realised it was there today! Oh well. Corn Starch (exp 2017) and Citric acid (exp 2018) had expired.. Any idea if these still be use for making bathbomb now?
