Beautiful job! My mom used to do that with my soaps she would say, "they were too pretty to use" and wouldn't use them until you basically had to coax her and tell her, "hey go ahead and use the soaps, I'll make more!" but every time she would put one on the counter so that way she can look at it instead of actually use it.

Thank you so much! Haha I love that! Soap making is like art, I have such a hard time using them because I don’t want them to disappear 😭

Awesome!

[@desertbathcompany]

Thank you!!!

[@TarenTerrill]

Love this! Can you do a video on your machine and trays etc where you got it all?

[@desertbathcompany]

Of course! I have that on my list for this year!

[@peepla7]

I'm surprised how long the color lasted.... So I am assuming that mica because it was liquid form, soaked in several layers to give it that effect? Really fun to watch the swirl it made as it dissolved.

[@desertbathcompany]

Yes when I painted them I made sure there is a nice thick layer of mica on top. But there’s also colored embeds that were made with fd&c dyes inside to keep the color pop going!

[@studentwork8618]

I loved your video. Two questions: What is Slsa? What were the green and yellow packets you added?

[@desertbathcompany]

Thank you so so much!
SLSA is a gentle surfactant that will make tons of bubbles/foam in the water.
The green and yellow little squares are little embeds (like mini bath bombs with SUPER saturated color) so when the bath bomb dissolves the hidden colors come out in the tub!

can you use this recipe in regular circle stainless steel type
molds or is it too hard?

[@desertbathcompany]

I use this recipe for both my stainless steel molds and plastic vacuum formed molds. Although It does not work well with the 3D printed molds!

[@hannahk4073]

are those bathbomb molds or just regular silicone molds? I am binging your videos now lol just stumbled across this channel today. deeply inspiring! I want to purchase your products. I wish i was local to you to order and try.

[@desertbathcompany]

These are plastic vacuum formed molds. Silicone molds would be too flimsy for bath bombs. And welcome to my channel!!! Thank you so much for watching!!!

[@hannahk4073]

Thank you so much. it's pretty fun here so far!!!!!!!!@@desertbathcompany
