- A Bath Truffle is like a bath bomb or bath fizzy with lots of moisturizing oils that you crumble into your bath for a home spa experience. This recipe contains cocoa butter and shea butter for that luxurious touch and shows two recipes; an all natural mix using kaolin clay and lavender essential oil and a Sweet Bubbly Bar using a blend of Chocolate and vanilla fragrances.

For those who may be sensitive to sodium lauryl sulfate, I've learned that you can substitute sodium laureth sulfate. It has been found to be far less irritating than the former but provides the same foaming action.
I love how you incorporate polysorbate 80 in your new recipes to help mitigate the tub mess.
Hi Christina, you could definitely make chocolate chip cookie soap! If using melt and pour, you may like to fragrance it with Buttercream and Snickerdoodle Fragrance Oil and use the 12 Bar Round Silicone Mold, just a few ideas! =)

Hope that helps!
I am OBSESSED with watching your videos. I can't make any soaps of my own, mainly because I do not have any products or ingredients for soap, but I just love your videos!!! Saving the ideas for later! :)
Hello!! Love your videos!!! Quick Question: You mentioned that they need to be put in the fridge for 30 minutes and then they are ready to use...Do they need to be stored in the fridge, as well, or can they be store out of the fridge? Thank you!!!
This tutorial is so on time. I was just looking for a bath truffle recipe.
These were great I loved how the first one bubbled and fizzed. I'm soo going to have to try these. You always make the coolest stuff. Thanks for the hard work
just made the SLS one except I only had SLSa on hand, and used Epsom Salt instead of the pink salt, can't wait to use them tonight :-)
Hi Violet Sparkles!
The butters used in the truffles have a fairly high melting point, so they can be kept at room temperature. However, if you live in a hot or humid place, they may start to warp.
We recommend wrapping the truffles and keeping them in a cool, dark place (like a cool basement or cabinet). Read more in the How to Store Handmade Bath Products post: www.soapqueen.com/bath-and-body-tutorials/tips-and-tricks/how-to-store-handmade-bath-products/
if u put the truffle in the tup will it mess up ur nails or will it mess up only when ur mixing the dry powder together! luved the video i cant wait to make the pink salt cookie. also can u put different toppings on the cookies?
I love this recipe. Truffles seem to be better than bath bombs.
hello! thanx for the great guide videos!! also i have qustion, what is the diffrent between bubblebar, bath truffle and bath bomb??
These are lovely! Could I use bentonite clay instead of kaolin?
Hi Anne Marie! I can't wait to try this. I'm wondering if it's possible to add an emulsifier to the recipe...like e-wax? If so, how much would you recommend adding?
Could whole or coconut milk powder be substituted for kaolin clay?
i love your videos! i have been learning so much. and i love the bloopers! :)
palehoney79 Thanks so much, glad you love the videos! I love the bloopers too. We have a lot of fun filming. =)
Hello.....you said to put the bath truffles into the fridge for a few hours or so. What do you do to them after they come out of the fridge? Do you wrap them individually, or just put them in a nice little dish? Thank you for all of your classes, love them.!!!
Hi Pam!
It's definitely personal preference! If you're going to use them right away, you can set them on a nice dish. If you plan to use them in the future or sell them, you can wrap them in plastic wrap so they stay nice and dry. =)
Hi Paige Bradley!
In place of SLSA, you can use SLS for some great bubbles. =)
SLS: www.brambleberry.com/Sodium-Lauryl-Sulfate-P3562.aspx
I was wondering how you store them and how long these last? I am thinking of Christmas gifts and want to package them really nice but want to get a head start now. LOL. Thanks.
Hi, Anne-Marie! I love this recipe, but I have a question. Approximately how long do these truffles keep for?
Hi Msredzone78!
You can replace the SLS with SLSA! Both work great for creating bubbles: www.brambleberry.com/Sodium-Lauryl-Sulfoacetate-SLSA-P5244.aspx
If you find SLSA is something you don't want to use, there is no other option to create bubbles in these bars. However, the citric acid and baking soda will create a fun fizzing reaction. =)
Hey:)
I have to questions please.
1. Would the pink salt be good for facial/hands soap?
2. Is there a plant based glycerin ? If there is, what is it called?
Thank you.
Pink salt is just another type of exfoliant. The size of the salt grains help determine what they’ll be good for. For example, large & coarse salt would provide a rougher exfoliation and thus ppl prefer it for the body. Small and fine salt would provide a gentler exfoliation which most ppl prefer for face.
Most glycerin comes from vegetables and so it could simply be called glycerin and you’d have to check the ingredients or manufacturer info. Or it may be called vegetable glycerin
The reason I suggest adding a foam stabilizer is that frequently the primary foam producer (SLS in this case) is relatively irritating, so if you can reduce its concentration and add a relatively small amount of foam stabilizer, you can get the same, or longer lasting, suds in bath water that's less soapy, less detergent. Most hobbyists use just a single surfactant in recipes like this, but the benefits of combining them should be explored. Trouble is buying some of them in small amounts.
Hi Anne-Marie, You mentioned refrigerating... If making the product for resale, would you recommend refrigeration after making and before packaging... or packaging without refrigeration and indicating on the label that the consumer should refrigerated for 30 min. before use? Thanks!!
Hello, thank you for posting this, I am writing down so many recipes and ideas and watching tons of videos about bath products, I am going to start venturing very soon in the near future to make this into my new hobby, waiting on all of my materials and ingredients is like waiting for Santa to come on Christmas Eve. I saw an earlier video of Bath Truffles (AMAZING), and she used a heat gun radar thingy, and said that if the oil is too hot it can kill the fragrance :) well of course not many of us have one of those SO, do you let your oils cool some before adding fragrance? and if so, how long? Love watching all of your videos :D I have many of your recipes written in my binder so far, cannot WAIT to start digging into making things.
And also, I wonder if this mixture would be ok to put into a somewhat detailed flower mold for example, this would be so nice with the lavender as well, with the purple lavender epsom salts as a garnish.
Hi Tammy!
Thanks so much for watching the videos! I really appreciate it. =)
If the oil gets too hot, the fragrance may become less potent depending on its flashpoint. It can also cause the butters to get grainy. It can help to monitor these with a thermometer: www.brambleberry.com/Infrared-Thermometer-P6087.aspx
If you don't have one of those on hand, just heat the oils on 20-second bursts until they are just melted. That way they don't get too hot. It can also help to lightly touch the container. If it is too hot for your hand, let it cool until it's warm to the touch.
Also, you can put the truffles in a detailed mold if you like! That would look awesome. =)
Thank you very much for the tip! I added the calculator to my favorites!
Could you use poly 80 to help with the slippery factor of the tub?
Thank you! im soooo excited to try this. your videos are the best btw :)
Love your recipes.
sharon dixon Thanks so much Sharon! Also, thanks for watching. =)
What could you replace the SLS with? I have found both to be drying to the skin. What natural replacement could be used as I do not want to use SLS in my natural products? Thanks for the video and help!
Msredzone78 kaolin clay like she uses in the 2nd all natural recipe
Good to see you back Anne-Marie. Missed you:)) MCC
Juice WILL cause the same reaction -- but cause it when you mix the ingredients, not when you put it in the bath!
Kaolin has the advantage of being close to colorless. Some other clays will stain the bathtub.
Love the video i will have to make some. But is the difference between a bath truffles and bath bombs.
Hi Miriam!
So glad you like the video! Bath truffles typically contain extra skin-loving oils and butters like shea butter. That means they add some extra moisturization to your bath bombs along with fun fizz. =)
Great video. I can't wait to try these!
Is it possible to make the bath truffles in a cupcake shape and also to add some colour to it? If so, how can i make the frosting?
Hey Soap Queen! I was wondering if SLS is ok for eczema? I'm making these as a gift to ask my bridesmaids to be my maids for my wedding! My sister has eczema and very sensitive skin so I want to make sure these are safe for her. Thanks so much for your time and your great videos!
Hi Maggie!
All of the ingredients in this recipe are skin safe. Yay!
That being said, everyone's skin is different! You may want to make a small test batch to see how it feels on your sister's skin just to be safe. =)
Thanks so much!
Maggie Shirley She could try Neem Oil lotion. This lotion actually helps eczema and psoriasis. Just my two cents :)
I made 2 batches of these, one with lavender eo rolled in lavender flowers and one with mango/papaya fo and orange jojoba beads in it. they both turned out amazing, but its been a week since I made them and the ones that are left seem to be…sweating? They are sticky on the outside. How would you recommend storing these once they have been made to maybe prevent this?
Do you live in a fairly humid climate? If so, the truffles may be absorbing moisture from the air. That can cause sweating/stickiness. To prevent that you can wrap the truffles tightly with plastic wrap. You can also run a fan over them or use a dehumidifier to protect them from humidity. =)

Thanks Anne-Marie. Wow! Look at that SLS go!
Can't wait to make some
Hi Anne-Marie
Does SLS is irritation for sensitive skin?
Thank you very much
I really like your videos thank you for making them in the future can you show us how your products work like putting the bath bombs and bath melts in water like in this episode
thank you so much for the natural part :)
well I herd that in bath bombs I can replace citric acid with cream of tartar can I do that with these plese reply love the vido
Are these safe recipes for people who are allergic to sulfate??
can you change the type of clay? can you use lemon juice or lime juice instead of citric acid? :p
the lavender buds make the bar really pretty same as the large pink salts (?)
Love this!!
Hi thank you for a lovely channel. I want to try these out (the second one without SLS) but im wondering what i can use instead of citric acid? Thank you.
Mel Lilja So glad you like the channel! The citric acid and baking soda create the fun fizzing reaction in the bath truffles. Without the citric acid, the bath truffles won't fizz. We definitely recommend adding it. =)

Citric acid: www.brambleberry.com/Citric-Acid-P3753.aspx
Thank you! :)
this was great! could you do how to make solid shampoo?
I consider it a waste to combine fizzing & foaming ingreds. In a bathtub, the foaming is best done with lots of agitation so the fizzing is lost before you get in; but if you rely on the fizzing to foam it, so you can enjoy the fizz, by filling the tub and sitting in it before adding the fizzer-foamer, the foam won't be much, unlike the situation in the cup shown here.
Also, adding a foam stabilizer would allow you to use much less SLS to get the same amount and persistence of foam.
Loved the vid, but isnt sls meant to be realy harmfull to skin?! X
What about swapping some of the oils in the first recipe with liquid castile soap? Maybe %50-%50? Extra suds and less oil for us greasy skinned folk? :) Would liquid castile soap work as a binding agent in a regular bath bomb recipe? All suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks so much for all your great videos!
+Brie Clark That's an interesting thought! I have never experimented with adding liquid soap to a bath bomb before, so I'm not 100% sure! Recently, I did try adding melt and pour soap to a bath bomb and it worked fairly well (you can see my results in the link below). I would recommend making a small test batch first to see what you think =)
www.soapqueen.com/bath-and-body-tutorials/tips-and-tricks/soap-box-questions-can-i-add-melt-and-pour-to-bath-bombs/
+Soap Queen TV Hi! Thanks for the response! Ok, so... fail. I tried a small batch, and let me just say that they are still growing! :0 Liquid castile soap does not, I repeat, does not work in a bath bomb recipe. Haha. My daughter chose green color with a mixed mint fragrance, so since they will not stop expanding we are calling them Hulk bombs.
+Brie Clark Thanks so much for letting me know your results! Also, I love that name. Who knows, maybe Hulk bombs will catch on! =)
Hello Anne Marie! I don't have Kaolin clay...would French green work with this recipe?
Absolutely!
Could you add some polysorbate 60 to these to help with the slippery tub aspect? Would make tub cleanup a lot easier too!
If you don’t have kaolin clay,
Can you use something else
If i make a large batch and am not using them should I store in fridge until my use?
Is it okay to uses European Clay in place of Kaolin?
hi, Anne Marie~! Thank you so much for the video :) I have a question. how long is the shelf life of the bath truffles in this recipe? And If I use botanical extract for example rosehip powder, would it make the shelf life shorter?
Amazing
Can u do a video on how to make bath melts Thanks
I'm wondering what size to make these, or how much to use in a bath?
Is skin safe the same thing as edible?
For example could I use basil or cloves from my pantry?
+LizzyMarieTina Skin safe and edible are different! For instance, fragrance oils are skin safe, but are not safe to ingest.
That being said you can use basil or cloves in your bath truffles! I would recommend making a small test batch with the cloves. They can irritate the skin, so you'll want to test them before making a larger batch. Also, keep in mind any natural ingredient like basil will eventually turn brown in the recipe. =)
I like the first one
I've tried this recipe as well as the surprise color bath bomb recipe and they neither of them fully set, they stayed soft for days after making them. Can you think of anything that I might be doing wrong?
can you plese try to make jelly saop it is great for kids!?!
I feel like throwing a rave party whenever I hear that theme song, lol.
+Fluffymiyster Ha, too funny! It always makes me want to dance. =)
+Soap Queen Tv your bath fizzy videos were really helpful
Please make more videos I love all ur videos
Could I use any oils like coconut oil etc instead of butters? Thanks.
+Caroline Silva You can! Coconut oil would feel nice in this recipe. I would recommend adding the same amount of coconut oil as the butters. I would also recommend a small test batch to see if you like the way the truffles feel. =)

What do you suggest for a substitute if someone is allergic to Shea
butter?
Hi there!
Mango butter would make a great substitute! It has a similar consistency to shea butter and is nice and moisturizing. =)
Mango butter: www.brambleberry.com/Mango-Butter-P3221.aspx
Um I heard that coconut oil works but idk😁
can you use Moroccan red clay or bentonite clay in place of kaolin clay in this
I have SLSA, do I need to add more when substituding for SLS? Thanks :)
I tried to make the all-natural lavender truffles last night. When I tried to unmold them they crumbled into tiny pieces. What might have gone wrong?
so making this!
I was wondering what the best way to store and keep these fresh when making to sell? I have all sorts of cupcake bombs I have made and they don't seem to fizz as good after sitting a week (there is no humidity in the room they r stored in) any tips?
I actually wanted to know this too. And also, when people buy them to use, we can tell them to store it properly but how about when someone buys to offer as a christmas present to someone else and it's unopened for more than a month? What's the best packaging for that?
It's best to put them in a sealed plastic bag. A cellophane bag tied closed or plastic wrap wrapped all around both work well. Even when there isn't much humidity there's usually a little bit in the air and bath bombs just love to attract every little bit of moisture they can.
Great that's what I did thank u
***** Thank you!
Some posts say that they don't last long even packaged is that true? And also what would u recommend for when the tops fall off. Some of my frosting tops fell off and some of my soap frosting tops as well.
Thank you!!
how many truffles do you get from the SLS and Kaoline mixtures??
:) could u make a liquid bubble bath next?
Do you need to keep them in the Frig?
Thanks so much!!! :)
So nice
what temp should liquid be to add scent and colorant? thanks.
Could I do 2oz of Shea butter and 1oz deodorized cocoa butter for the natural recipe
Hello, I have another question, all of my shea butter has gone grainy on me, of course it can't be used to make body lotion or massage bars, but would it be ok to use for bath truffles?
Hi Tammy!
You can still use your shea butter! However, even in bath truffles, it will have a grainy feeling. That should go away as it melts in the tub though! =)
Also, to prevent that graininess, you can temper your butter. To do so, heat the shea butter fully and then pop it in the freezer. When it's fully cooled, take it out and store it in a cool, dark place. That should help prevent that graininess. =)
***** how am I going to buy bramble berry products since I can't shop online and I am a singaporean
Alysia Yeo Hi there!
All of our products are sold online, so I'm not exactly sure! We do ship to Singapore. You can find out more in our international soaping policies: www.brambleberry.com/International-Shipping-Policies.aspx
It's cool
my three year old daughters name is kaylin! haha but anyways I cant wait to try these out!
I have to try this. Thank you 5:24
How could you go about selling these if they need to be refrigerated before use?
can you add a bit of skin safe glitter to it? like did on the cupcakes?
+Jessi Jodoin Absolutely, that would look really cute! =)
Iridescent glitter: www.brambleberry.com/Iridescent-Glitter-P3976.aspx
Fine iridescent glitter: www.brambleberry.com/Fine-Iridescent-Glitter-P4884.aspx
Can i use coloured sea salt instead of the pixie salt
Are the Cocoa and Shea butters you use crude or deodorized?
The shea butter and cocoa butter in this recipe are refined. We do offer both regular and deodorized cocoa butter depending on your preference. =)
Shea butter: www.brambleberry.com/Shea-Butter-P3220.aspx
Deodorized cocoa butter: www.brambleberry.com/Deodorized-Cocoa-Butter-P3199.aspx
Organic cocoa butter cubes: www.brambleberry.com/Organic-Cocoa-Butter-Cubes-P6365.aspx
Can you use baking soda instead of citric acid ? :/
yes indeed
could I add more shea butter in place of the cocoa butter?
+Lauren H Definitely! Shea butter feels great in the tub. Because cocoa butter is more firm than shea, it may make the truffles a bit softer. You may want to make a small test batch to see how it feels with more shea butter. =)
+Soap Queen TV ok thank you for replying!!!
Nice
Can you make chocolate chip cookie soap
i dont have access to kaolin clay but can i substitute with bentonite clay?
+Kimberly Buchoon We didn't try that in this recipe, but I believe it will work! Bentonite clay has a nice silky feeling. I would recommend using the same amount of bentonite clay as kaolin clay. A small test batch would be helpful as well. =)
Bentonite clay: www.brambleberry.com/Bentonite-Clay-P4059.aspx
can i use something else for bubbles in place of the slsa or sls?
We haven't found a substitute for SLS or SLSA that works well for bubbles. You can leave it out though! The citric acid and baking soda create a really nice fizzing reaction in the tub. =)
When I actually made these I tried them out in a small jar and the foam and bubbles were amazing like that seen in the video but upon actually using them in the tub (I used two thick truffles) the bubbles were less then desirable and lasted a measly 30 seconds after the running water stopped... Any suggestions on what I may have done wrong?
I am having the same problem but cant find the answer. I was wondering if you find any answer to your question? since our comment was 10 years ago. Thank you.
hey what happen to the special guest episode :-( still loved it though as always :-)
