Bath Bomb success

We had our first success with Bath Bombs! Perfectly round, no cracks and smelling delicious. O.k, Only one of the dozen or more we made turned out that way but who is counting?

With each batch we are learning. Our recent attempt was affected by a slight change in recipe from the original. As we mentioned in an earlier post that recipe lacked SLSA. According to information we read the amount of SLSA depends on the amount of Baking Soda used. In this case it was six cups which according to the rules meant six tablespoons of SLSA. This caused a problem as there was no mention of adding more oil to balance the ingredients. We took it upon ourselves to add two more tablespoons of oil......MISTAKE 😜 Basically we ended up with a mixture that was too wet. The Bath Bombs came out beautifully but took forever to dry and some expanded and refused to leave their mould. There were a lot of tears and hair pulling involved 🤣

Next time we will use witch hazel to wet the Bath Bombs instead of adding more oil. We will let you know how that goes.
