Make Bath Time Fun with Rainbow Waffle Bath Bombs!

Fun fun fun! Today I'm going to show you how to make colorful rainbow waffle bath bombs. And a trick to making several small batches of different colors at once without them drying out!

RECIPE
Make a big batch of dry mix. 500 grams baking soda, 200 grams citric acid, & 60 grams corn starch. Sieve dry ingredients together & mix everything together. Divide it; each bowl/color gets 95 grams (makes about 7colors). Each bowl: 1/4 cup (62.5 grams) baking soda, 1/8 cup (25 grams) citric acid, 1 tablespoon (7.5 grams) corn starch. [Optional] You can also add a tiny bit [1/16 - 1/32 teaspoon] of SLSa (Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate) to some colors to slightly vary reactions in the water.

Fill the mold with mix & pack it well. Do this until it's very full & packed well. Take the back of the other mold & make the top as flat as possible, grinding & packing the mix more. Flip it over & tap the mold. Then lift it up & continue tapping until the bomb is released. Dry 24 hours.

Sparkling decorative patterns: 3 milliliters 99% isopropyl alcohol, .5 milliliters polysorbate 80, & 1/4 teaspoon mica (gold dust mica looks great on everything). Drop it with a spoon, splatter it with a paint brush, or drizzle it with a pipette… Use a precision tip applicator (linked below) for great control. Practice designs on ugliest bombs first. Make sure the design is fully dry; this should take no more than an hour (I just left mine on the table overnight).

Bombs will last a year, but are best fresh as they lose effervescence over time.

Hello Dora love all your products.
Question: how do you get your colors so bright??? Mine are always dull looking 😢.

[robinmcmillin]

I love the idea of using the foil in soap. My 1 question is... Won't the paper inside the soap bother you when you use the soap?

[karolmackenzie]

Dora those looked amazing great job. I can't say that word either, when you tried to say it I copied you and realized that. I love your channel

Can you make a video on how to use activated charcoal in bath bombs? when I tried making a bath bomb with AC the mix started smelling foul like sulfuric.. any tips for that? Does the smell go away? Please make a video on it as I’ve heard you say that you use AC for black Color
