This is definitely one of the best bath bomb tutorials I've found. I've been thinking about using a homemade bath bomb to propose to my girlfriend, and most of the recipes I've found just didn't seem right. I love that this one has oils and uses something other than food coloring.
Also I am so in love with your fairy dolls. My daughter and I can't stop making them! So easy to follow your videos please don't stop. Is there anything you can't make? I bet not. Thanks again for sharing with us all.
Terrific job with this tutorial. I haven't seen any others where it is recommended to add the citric acid last - but it makes perfect sense. Your video was well organized and very informative. Thank you!
I am teaching my Grandkids to make homemade Christmas gifts this year. Because they are girls (not me) this hits the spot. I guess I could make some for my guy friends(weird sorta) and maybe scent them with WD-40,fish bait,oil or gunpowder LOL. Actually most guys won't admit it but we all have a feminine side. Me I prefer lavender,rosemary and ginger (shhhhh and a nice candle). I am a former Executive Chef and like the creativity. Nice video!!
You are so sweet! I know how frustrating it can be to when you are starting any type of project. Finding recipes, supplies, steps, etc. Happy to hear my tutorials are helpful. Providing informative tutorials has been one of the major goals of my channel. Thank you! xo
I know this isnt a new tutorial but i just wanted to say thanks so much because its the most complete and detailed explanation i've seen. And the citric acid tip was genius. Thanks so much!
This is a great dIY video for beginners like me. You offer such great tips and techniques. I wish I had watched this before I started making bath bombs. I learned by trial and error that you lightly over-stuff the molds and then press them together hard so that the mixture passes through itself and sticks together. Kind of like how you make a snow ball. I've watched more videos and looked at more recipes than I can count. Spent a ton of money too, so it's disappointing when they crack or don't hold together. My house is very dry, which is good, but I have to always spray A LOT of rubbing alcohol or witch hazel to get them to hold together. Then I over-spritz and they crack. I think what I need is a better base-recipe to begin with. One that balances the dry to liquid/oil ratio better. I just don't think I should be spritzing that much. Can't wait to try your recipe!
Thank you for sharing, so far this is the best tutorial i found on TH-cam. Well done. I have made a bunch of bath bombs, they did not have the cream of tartar, nor witch hazel. Some do not even float at all. I will definitely try this recipe tomorrow or as soon as my supplies arrive. Again, thanks.
OMG your recipe is the best thing ever happened to me I tried so many times so many different recipes but they always come apart I never stick together and yours is the first one to ever work for me it’s so perfect thank you so much for making an amazing video
This is the only bath bomb recipe thats actually worked! Thank you so much!!! however dont melt coconut oil in the microwave! it basically removes all the good stuff from the coconut oil!
OMG your video helped me solve my bath bomb problem! :D The idea of adding the citric acid at the end is phenomenal! So simple but I didn't think about it. I also love that you explain everything carefully and tell about all your ingredients what to use them for. :) Thank you :)
I bought everything I need for diy bath bombs cause I LIVE everything that is diy...after a week of trying to do the perfect bath bomb.I gave up..I was tired od seeing all those diy bath bomb videos..today I was bored so I tried it for the last time ..guess what. They are perfect ..thank you thank you thank you do much for this video ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
this recipe is perfect! I have been having problems finding the right ingredient proportions and molding them. This video really helped me and has become my new recipe for my bath bombs, thank you! xo
I just started making bath bombs. 2 batches in and so far both have been uninspiring! Ha! I'm going to try your theory of adding in the citric acid last. That makes way more sense then all the other recipes I have tried. Thanks so much for this video.
Great video & information! Can you tell me how long you need to let them dry before using them? I made this recipe and they seem so soft still and it has been about 15 hours since I made them
Emilie Lefler I had modified your recipe can you tell me if it would work? 1 cup of baking soda ½ cup of citric acid ¼ cup of epsom salts ½ tsp of essential oil ½ cup of corn starch 1 tsp of cream of tartar 2 and a half tbs of coconut oil (only oil I have) 1 tsp of rubbing alcohol 1 tsp distilled water food coloring
Emilie, these are fantastic. thank you for sharing the recipe and how you did it. Quick question, are these okay for pregnant women to use in the bathtub? thanks
Best Bath Bomb Tutorial EVER!!! Thank you sO much for making & sharing this. You are a wonderful teacher. You just took my bath bomb making skills to the next level of awesome! You rock!
Emilie, thank you so much for your thorough and intelligent DIY’s. One question,...does this recipe absolutely need the cream of tarter in order for it to be a fabulous bomb?
Great video! I just tried to make bath bombs for the first time and didn't work (citric acid activated). Looking at this video I can totally see what I did wrong. Thank you so much!!
Have you ever had your bath bomb crack during the drying process? I seem to always have 1 or 2 that crack while just sitting out over night and I'm not sure if its because they have too much moisture or not enough moisture, how can you tell? Thankx!
Will adding epsom salt plus a few drops of essential oils effect how these things dry? I left them out to dry overnight and some are slightly falling apart any tips?
I'm curious too, I just purchased some in bulk before I saw her video. Have you tried this receipt with the epsom salts yet? She doesn't answer questions
Hi I was watching this tutorIal as well as your DIY Mooncake Press Bath Bombs. You use 2 different recipes the other one being from Dean Wilson. Which one do you feel fizzes and look better between the recopies. Thanks
so! crazy thing.. just checked out your Etsy shop "about me" page and I have never known of another person to be terrified of frogs... I have friends who think I am crazy mad for despising them. nice to meet you!
Hi I love you tutorials. I have some questions. 1. Can I use Corn flour instead of Cornstrach? how much? 2. Can you please suggest other fragrance oils for sensitive skin and Aromatheraphy if you could? Thank you in advance.
My last two batches of bombs expanded while they sat. I'm not entirely certain how I'm adding too much liquid, as I really am just trying to moisten it until it holds together without a large chunk crumbling into my hands. I live in Nevada, so I doubt it's moisture from humidity. Any tips for dumb dumbs like me on making sure the consistency will press but not expand? How long do you allow them to dry before wrapping? And tips on long term storage? Sorry, thanks.
Aside from just a filler, is there a benefit to adding the corn starch? I saw one woman who said that it irritated her skin so she just took it out and made the bombs smaller. What are your thoughts on that? I'm hoping to put some of these together as Christmas gifts, but I also want to be sensitive to skin! In home-made deodorants I substitute corn starch for arrow root powder but I'm not sure if that would work here.
My bath bombs are in a 6 oz ball mold, similar to the one you used here, but when I remove them from the mold and set them to dry, most of them sort of "settle" leaving the bottom of the bath bomb flat in stead of round as they should be. Will using the towel and bubble wrap resolve this or should I do something else? Thank you :)
Have you ever had an issue with bath bombs developing brown spots over time. I know it happens with vanilla based fragrance oils. Is there a vanilla stabilizer made for bath bombs? If so, where can I buy it?
I really like your VDO and thank you to sharing your technic about when us the best time to put Citrit Acid into the bowl. 😊😊 I just did the DIY bathbome but it's broke. 😅😅 But I will do another try. thank you.
Cream of Tarter is to make your Bath bomb bubble a little and it helps it float and It really makes a lot of sense to add Citric acid in at the last moment! , But if you do not add the cream of Tarter can you add a clay even though you will not have the same results? Also can you add Epsom salts? I noticed a few people asked, but I did not see a response? I really like adding Clays in my bath bombs as well as Oatmeal, Goatsmilk, ETC.... I noticed when I add butters my bathbombs do stay soft a little longer, but they end up getting hard! I think I would replace next time the liquid oil instead of the Cocoa butter even though Cocoa butter is a hard oil? Now instead of adding Cornstarch can you also replace that with Clays as a hardener? This video gets a big thumbs up for me you are a very great teacher Thank you much for sharing Loved it!
I followed all the steps and initially the bath bombs look beautiful and perfect. They looked like a great consistency and was smooth. Later, when I checked on them they were super moist and getting softer. The bottoms are even flat. What did I do wrong?
This is one of the most complicated tutorial I have seen re bath bombs.. and a lot more ingredients used than any other ones I have seen! But hers are pretty
I found mine floated and created more bubbles which I loved by dividing the mixture in half and place the SLSA in just one half of the mixture and I didn't add the cream Of tarter as it's not necessary. By placing the SLSA in the middle of the bath bomb it will float

The citric acid at the end is the first time I've seen anyone do that. Soo smart!!!
This is definitely one of the best bath bomb tutorials I've found. I've been thinking about using a homemade bath bomb to propose to my girlfriend, and most of the recipes I've found just didn't seem right. I love that this one has oils and uses something other than food coloring.
That is so cute and nice
Thank you so much! :)
Emilie Lefler...can mango butter be subbed for cocoa butter...?
I would like to know also. Thanks.
Patricia R what did she say
Also I am so in love with your fairy dolls. My daughter and I can't stop making them! So easy to follow your videos please don't stop. Is there anything you can't make? I bet not. Thanks again for sharing with us all.
I love how you tell us exactly what you use, instead of us just trying to guess what you're using
GASP! I made them and they work perfect! This is the first time they've worked for me! Thank you so so much!
Terrific job with this tutorial. I haven't seen any others where it is recommended to add the citric acid last - but it makes perfect sense. Your video was well organized and very informative. Thank you!

Best tutorial I've seen. Adding citric acid last seems like a good tip. I'll have to try that next time.

Too much oil or not wet enough...no recipe is perfect for you...humidity varies around the world...never make them on a rainy day..
your tutorials are great....thanks for the tips
Hi I was watching this tutorIal as well as your DIY Mooncake Press Bath Bombs. You use 2 different recipes the other one being from Dean Wilson. Which one do you feel fizzes and look better between the recopies. Thanks
I live in south Mississippi. It is always high humidity here. Do you think the bath bombs might be ok if i dried them in the oven set on warm?
Pretty cool
Can you mix your dry ingredients ahead of time and store until ready to prepare the bath bombs?
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing the websites. Very helpful!!
so! crazy thing.. just checked out your Etsy shop "about me" page and I have never known of another person to be terrified of frogs... I have friends who think I am crazy mad for despising them. nice to meet you!
Just made some! Thank you for sharing.
Is this a good recipe to use in a humid location??
love it!! i noticed u didnt use any epson salt?.....plus u removed your calls immediately!!! cant wait to try your method!!
Hi I love you tutorials. I have some questions.
1. Can I use Corn flour instead of Cornstrach? how much?
2. Can you please suggest other fragrance oils for sensitive skin and Aromatheraphy if you could? Thank you in advance.
this is the best video ive seen on bath bombs! so informative and clear! just curious are there any substitutes for cocoa butter?
This is a great recipe; however, I have had some cracking when they dry. Do you have any suggestions?

Hi
Love your videos can you also use this in the moon press
THANKS SO MUCH,I LOVE THESE SO INFORMATIVE........

Yes it would absolutley work. I use arrow riot also instead
Thanks for the tips! :-) I really enjoyed the way you explained everything. I'm new to making fizzy bath bombs. New Subbie!
Wow yours is the best one I've ever seen n it's was so hard to find!!!!! But its okay I still loved it
Great video. TFS
Happy crafting! xo
Can you tell me why my bombs tend to flatten when drying? Great video thanks

useful information tips tbh
Can milk powder be added to this recipe?
GREAT video!!! Thank you!
Can one use shea butter instead of cocao butter?
Thank you for recipe and description. Similar to Agie, do you have a recipe with epson salt? If not, why do you not add epson salt to the bath balm?
hey im not her but i make bath bombs and you can just add in about a 1/2 a cup of epsom salt, it wont affect the recipie
thank you finally some one answered
Maebh Thank you because I was wondering the same. She uses them in her other recipes but not this one.
If I wanted to use SLSA how much would I add to this recipe?
I really like your VDO and thank you to sharing your technic about when us the best time to put Citrit Acid into the bowl. 😊😊 I just did the DIY bathbome but it's broke. 😅😅 But I will do another try. thank you.

Do you find that the colorants from celestial colors are able to color the water as well as lake powders?
Can you use a cuisinart for the dry and oil blending part?
This is one of the most complicated tutorial I have seen re bath bombs.. and a lot more
ingredients used than any other ones I have seen!
But hers are pretty
Thank you very much!
