Jerika, you are an incredibly generous and admirable woman. Instead of hoarding and patenting your ideas and creations solely for your own financial gain, you share them with others to inspire and enrich our lives.
Bless you! I hope more people follow your lead, I know I am. You have been setting a truly valuable example.
Thank you so very much for spreading love and joy through your videos and your products. Brava!!!
Yah! Everyone wins! We’re all in this together ❤️
I truly appreciate your videos! I'm starting my own bath bomb business and you're such an inspiration 🥰 You are so helpful, informative and positive!
i know right!!! she and her comment section / community are both so uplifting and inspiring! i can't wait to finally get in this business, i've been wanting to for more than 10 years, just never thought it was possible. she showed me that it is! cheers to all of you who are indulging in this amazing art and A MILLION thanks to jerika!
Great information Jerika, I was not aware Lush had this patent. Please note, Lush's patent actually expires in 2031 - 20 years from the date of application in the US, not from the date of approval. We applied for a patent on a product and it took 7 years to get the patent approved, which left us 13 more years. You are protected once you apply and can claim Patent Pending, which is why the 20 years starts at application.
Great info! thank you for this comment!
I'm not going to lie. Patent's like Lush's really annoy me. I know Lush is NOT the first person/company to do this. They are just the first people to file for a patent. It reminds me of wood wicks for candles. There is a patent on those too. I don't understand how companies can be granted patents for things that have existed long before they even existed. A wood wick is literally just a piece of wood. There is nothing special about it. They literally have a patent for wood, that grows everywhere. I am going to go file for a patent on oxygen and start suing everyone.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love your polite sarcasm🤣
You can use wood wicks in candies but you can’t call it the Woodwick BRAND
@@Hannielle. You also have to put the their Patent notice on your candles when using their wooden wicks.
Nice lawsuit if you're not
😅🤣😂
I have been supporting my wife here in London as she grows her bath bomb business. Your help, advice and experience has been invaluable. God! Have a thousand questions but will pan through your archive videos. Brilliant stuff!
The video we’ve all been waiting for!! Thank you!
Awesome!!! Thank you so much for devoting a video for this process!
Yesssss thank you!! This is awesome!! I was so curious what that was lol! And yay!! 20k!!! I’ve been watching you grow and I was so excited the closer it got to 20k.
Congratulations on exceeding 20k!!!! this was a cool video didn't know it was a patent or that the embed worked differently than the outside. Thank you for another video.
Thank you for this tutorial on embeds! I’ve really struggled with embeds up until now so I’m really excited to try this!
love your videos and how well you help others just starting out..anyone who is just beginning should watch all your videos..so informative and with recipes a no fail option for many!
Thank you! This is perfect timing for me. You're awesome for sharing🤩
Wow Jerika. Thank you much for sharing. May you continue to rise and receive blessings as many as you are sharing. Thank you. 🙏🏻💚💪🏻
I love love love watching you and all your helpful tips
So you are my absolute favorite!!! Thanks, this was helpful and way to save time!!
Thank you for sharing, I just got some new lakes and dyes and trying them out for the first time and this recipe will be perfect to try them out with. Thank you for your amazing videos.
Thank you Jerika! Your videos are awesome!
No wonder you prosper/ scale up. You are so magnanimous in sharing your skill and knowledge. Thank you
New subscriber here! I came across your videos while thinking about a new business idea. You make me want to start a bath bomb business! Love all your videos! Thank you for sharing your process with us!
Wow 20k amazing another great video! Thanks for sharing.
Yeah!! Congratulations on reaching over 20 k subscribers 👏👏👏 You deserve that and more! Your videos are just AWESOME! And you are very talented!
It’s growing so fast! I think this can last quite awhile. The ingredients are pretty stable. Haven’t had a bag longer than a month so can’t tell you exactly... but maybe start with a small batch (half the recipe).
I just recently started to even like bath bombs when I started my bath and body business. You videos are super helpful to someone who knows nothing about bath bombs and how they are made. Thanks for sharing all of your info.
Thanks so much for sharing your recipe. I'm really enjoying your videos. I'm on a binge watch lol. Hope you and Kale have a great day
I never knew about lush's inbeds patient. 🙄 The powder is amazing idea. So much easier too. Ur videos have helped me so much with my own business adventure all the way from Ireland! Thankyou x
This was so helpful! Thank you for sharing! I really love your products, I enjoy the soap so much!💯👍🏽 I haven't tried the bath bomb, but will soon.
Another great video😍can’t wait till the next one I am sooooo addicted to your videos & fantastic products, need more soaps and bath bombs 🛁
I love your work and explanations
TYSM 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 this is everything. You’re the best!
Thank you so much for sharing all of your tips!
Honestly love your videos and your voice is so soothing! You've inspired me to start a bath bomb and soap business :)
Thank you so much for this great, time saving tip on using the bag! I've been making teensy cube embeds, and it is time consuming. I've used your embed recipe since yours is tried and true using this technique. After I bagged "the goods" I went a little further and scored about 1/2" sections using a pastry scraper, in hopes that my "chunks" break off slightly uniform...which I'm probably reaching too high of expectations, but we shall see! THANKS AGAIN, Sweet Jerika, for this! You deserve ALL THE THINGS! 🙏
Another one! Loved it and just in time. No kidding...I was using one of your Lavendar bath bombs and this beautiful purple spray came out, and I said “I wonder how she did that!” LOL!!! And this video appeared! Magic.
I am happy that you brought up the patent info. We see these bath bombs made so prevalently in our community that many wouldn't even realize that there was a patent. I had it in my mind that any inside mix that is different from the outside mix does indeed create a two layer bath bomb. I have studied the patent info but it usually leaves me more confused than when I started. Ha. I know the Lucky Break Consulting article specifies two different citric acid ratios. However, reading the patent, it does seem that not only are they looking at baking soda and citric acid ratios (in a rather wide percentage range that is the same for the first and the second mixture), but also that the second mixture includes cream of tartar, fragrance, surfactant, etc.. So that leaves me questioning whether the patent goes beyond just the baking soda to citric acid ratio since the second mix specifies that it has the added ingredients. We know that even though the ratios of baking soda and citric may be the same in both mixes, that the absence of the extra stuff we use (oils, SLSa, kaolin, etc,) will indeed cause the inside mix to effervescence at a speed different than the outside mix. The use of SLSa alone causes the mix to slow down the effervescence. So would seem that it still applies. The Lucky Break Consulting people are assuming that we are simply making single layered bath bombs and so those are not an infringement of the patent. I had several people call me out on a video last year where I used a regular mini bomb inside a regular bigger bomb because it also could be considered a two layer bath bomb...but it was still the exact same recipe down to the oils, slsa, etc.). I think it’s just easier for me to stick with a single layer at this point. LOL I myself would just make the embed powder the same recipe as the outside, if I was only looking for color and not for an extra boost of effervescence. I'd be happy if I was wrong. 😂
Yeah it’s definitely grey and confusing territory! When I observe my bath bombs dissolving, I don’t see them shooting out like lushes does, just an another layer or colour revealing itself at the same rate as the outer bath bomb. I think due to the “powder” nature of my embed, they incorporate somewhat with the main bath bomb recipe to an extent, making it not as fizzy. All of the additional ingredients due affect the rate, you’re totally right! Awareness is key and we all should proceed knowing this patent is in place and be willing to face the consequences should Lush should (and rightfully) decide to sue for patent infringement.
@@JerikaZimmerman I have never actually used a Lush bath bomb so I don't have anything to compare it to. LOL It's just one of those things we have to be aware of...I agree. I hope you have a great Saturday!
I mostly watch your videos because you remind me of what Canadians use to be 🥰. Happy lighthearted and friendly
Congratulations on the 20k!!!
Fabulous idea & thanks so much for sharing
Another great video! I never knew there was a patent, so thank you for sharing that info! Making embeds is annoying 😂 Congrats on 20k! 🤍🤍🤍
Thank you, Jerika. It was so helpful. Bless you😘
I love your make up! Thanks for your video!
Another lovely informative video thankyou Jerika , Keep safe
You’re so smart ! Thank You!
Your content is amazing, thank you for sharing your knowledge 😍💞
Thank you, so beautiful. I can't wait to try this.
Perfect timing!
Great info, thank you Jerika :-)
Yay congratulations this is amazing
Great info thank you for sharing. Blessings ❤️
Loving following your videos. I’ve only recently found you and love all the hints and tips for small business owners. A road which I’m just starting out on. Love the bath bombs powder idea, genius!
I’ve wondered about Lush patents as they cover lots of items we as small scale crafters make. I’m wondering about the shampoo bars and conditioner bars. It would be good to know how to not infringe their patent on these items as well. It’s sad these patents prevent small scale crafters from making them! Thanks for sharing 💕💕
Not even 2 minutes in and just can't get over how cute your mug is. LOL
Mugs are an obsession of mine ☺️
@@JerikaZimmerman Me too!
You always seem to post a video on exactly what I am thinking I need! I don't like making embeds as well and wanted to know what your process was. This is great! I recently started with the bath bomb press having a hard time getting them to float. I think I'm packing too tight. Will embeds help them to stay floating? I know it will help with spinning but do you put it in the middle or off centre it on one side?
Thanks for the tutorial
Thank you for your videos ♥️
I love watching your videos it has give me the confidence to start making my own bath bombs 😊 x
Thank you!
Thanks this is so helpful ☺
Thank you, I’m just starting, you’re so helpful…(:
I have no desire to ever make or use a bath bomb but yet I always end up watching the whole video even when they are the subject.
Love it! This is what we do a lot! It’s super easy! Thanks for sharing your process!!❤️
Thank you so much for sharing your very informative videos. I have a question how long do your embed powder lasts?
Yeeessss! Thanks so much!
Making first batch tonight! Gonna split it into a few colors
Very helpful wow.
You are my hero!!
Great video - thanks! Will this also work with mica?
Awesome !
Thank you so much amazing work I just want to know what courses white spots on my bath bomb please help?
Do you have to put poly 80 for the embeds since you are putting dye/powder color in it? Or do you not have to worry about that and it wont stain the tub? Love yours vids btw
I love those big heavy duty bags too. Reuse is even better. Recycle once you get the most use out of them, LOL!
This weekend will be my first time making soap since my near death experience with covid. Last batch was made in November lol But I finally feel strong enough to be mixing and pouring soap 💜 I watched a ton of your videos to keep me motivated during my recovery and actually learned a lot on the business side from you. Congrats on 20k! 😊
Feel better soon !
Be sure to use a good respirator to protect your healing lungs! Wishing you a safe and full recovery ❤️
@@JerikaZimmerman I have a good mask with 2 x 1 way valves and military grade filter. I purchased it when I came home from the hospital after almost dying from covid 😂 It wouldn't have made a difference since I got covid in my home( my husband got it from 1 of his coworker and then gave it to me), but I felt safer having it! I also received my 1st vaccine dose 2 days ago since im a hospital worker 😊
The way you say bag 💕that Canadian is coming out
Oh! Also when I was spritzing my water in the mix, it was activating the citric acid and making it fizz, is that normal during this process?
Hello, I’m a soap maker and I’m just trying to learn to make bath bombs. I just wanted to thank you for your help I subscribed and I promise I will like every video I watch. Congratulations on 20,000 followers, sending love and light from Vancouver island.
Yayyyyy!!! I would love to visit there someday !
@@JerikaZimmerman We are definitely pretty spoiled here as far as Canadian weather goes.
Thank you so much for this Jerika. I was really struggling with my Embeds.
Shana, is Jerika just not so very AMAZING! Her business is growing in leaps and bounds because she is so unselfish! Greetings from Pretoria, South Africa 😘♥️💐🇿🇦
@@firdowskruger9896 oh she is indeed. I mention her in a lot of my TH-cam videos as I wouldn't even of thought of doing this myself and now I have. I am a capetonian living in England. Thanks for the Hi.
@@Buffy123willow I figured you're South African - re the Surname😊
@@firdowskruger9896 lol so true!
Newbie here but I'm wondering if adding more baking powder, instead of equal, to the embed make it fizz faster?
How long do embedes last before they go bad. How long would you recommend saving a bath bomb before it goes bad?
Tried this last night and had a little trouble with the coloring. Can you mix the color with water then add to your dry mix?
How long can you keep it in the bag for ? Do you have to use it all at once ?
Love this! Thank you.
hey Jerrika I was wondering is alle the fizz fairy's colour water soluble? Because when I search for water soluble colour they only show a limited collection. thank you for the video :-)
My bath bomb break and crumble where the embeds are. Any reason. I used your recipe. Do I need to hydrate the embeds first?
So can you use soap colorant for the color ?
Do you use micas to dye bath bombs?
Great video. That's how I do it but I use witch hazel.
Awesome tip!
Does this mean we could still use it just we gotta use the normal ratio?
Love the embed powder but when I use it, I struggle to get my 2 halves to stick together. Like its too dry? Please help
Does this embed powder last a while? Do you need to use it within a certain time?
Ok, so I added WAY too much water and mine are rock hard, so if I break it apart, do you think it will still work???
Is it safe to have an outdoor pop-up shop with bath bombs or can the bath bombs react to being outside
Will a hydrosol work instead of water?
may i know where is the exact recipe? i cant find it.. do we need polysorbate for that?
How do u add it inside bath bombs ? Do u form it into a ball and encase with the bath bomb mix?
Thank you so much for this video! You mentioned you don't put SLSa in your embed powder even though your bath bombs contain it. Knowing that SLSa slows down the fizzing reaction of a bath bomb, do you find that your embeds fizz at the same rate as your bath bombs without it?
Honestly, them I don’t think it makes that much of a difference.
Thank you for this, I've been waiting for it! 😀. Can I check, I thought the ratio was 1:1? Have you changed your recipe? Thanks xx
Ya... I did. I researched the patent a bit more and decided to change it up so that I was not infringing on Lush's patent. After some testing, my bath bomb secret color still comes out as desired, though the 1:1 ratio is DEFINITELY fizzier and provides a more "wow" affect.
@@JerikaZimmerman Thank you for your speedy response! Xx
I totally live you guys
Yassssss needed this ❤️
How long can this powder last? In terms of quality and not so much how long before you need to make more :)
I use it up pretty quick . Don’t know how long it lasts... I
Haven’t kept a bag longer than a month before I have to make more.
I need help. I made this embed powder. It seemed to start to activate when I spritz water on it. Then I placed the various colors in bowls and they became a bit hard/gummy. What did I do wrong?
Random question… so the two layer thing… if you did let’s say… a “jawbreaker” effect and layered something dissolvable like rice paper between the layers. Maybe it could be considered a totally different bomb with it breaking down at different times? So the single bomb wouldn’t be layered if it was separated? It’s a stretch lol.
How much water soluble dye do you put in your regular bath bomb mix?
What rules are there in shipping soaps & other cosmetic type products to Canada from USA? I hear people talk about extra steps, but no good info on it. I just want to make sure i'm following the rules for Canada customers. Don't know if anyones knows since I haven't had any good luck finding clear details on it.
I’ve been using especiallyforyou.ca embeds I think the patent only applies in US and it has to be entirely enveloped so cloud bombs that peak out embeds are ok. Also if the ratio is the same it’s fine.
What makes it so you are not infringing on the patent
Ok, so I have a question after trying this for the first time... I scaled back the recipe quite a bit (by 20 lol) so I wasn’t sure how much dye to use (I used fd&c green water soluble) so I just used the tiniest amount... how do you know if you have the right amount of dye to have it be concentrated in a tub but not use too much water to over activate it? Is it just trial and error and something you learn with experience? I have a mint green color powder right now and it seemed to be activating a little so I didn’t want to add much more water to activate more color at this stage.
Yes, I'm afraid its trial and error! That's how I learned!
