Other nice "dyes:" Wheat grass powder for green, sumac for pink, and saffron for a fleck of red in the bomb, but then a surprise bit of gold in the bath.
I'm going to make these for when I am still in London. I have an off grid cabin in the woods surrounding my family home and unfortunately it only has a shower and composting loo. Maybe later when I build an extension I will try to incorporate a bath as the wood stove is really efficient as a water heater. I believe in decreasing my carbon footprint and the woods are being constantly replanted with indigenous broadleaves but even so I still have enough wood to build the cabin and extension and the woodstove I use has a gasifier so it doesn't emit any smoke. Everything else is from nature, rainwater harvesting, solar and wind power etc. I really enjoyed the videos of yours that I watched.
Hello Foxiepaws ACAnderson, Thats very impressive, what an adventure with your ideas of your cabin, Thats lovely that you are aware about carbon footprints, should be proud of yourself for that. Very positive, sounds good to me. Thank-you very much! :) ✌︎ ✯
Wonderful demonstration! I can't wait to experiment with the herbs in my garden. I was wondering if the Beetroot creates a dark red colour to the water?
wow those look amazing. i am definitely going to attempt making these! finally i found someone who uses all natural organic ingredients! i also love how you incorporate the tea and flowers great touch if you ask me! do you sell these? or have a website? also, how many bath bombs does this recipe make? and i would love to see another bath bomb video! thank you!
Hi Ashley! I'm very happy these are something you have been after. Yes thank-you I like easy things that work and as natural as possible, so I'm glad they will be of help to you! Yes adding the tea bags I felt were something everyone could get hold of and if not then have them in their cupboards already. Im very glad these are helpful to you. No I haven't sold these i make them for fun and mostly give them away as gifts. No I don't have a website yet but In the future I will be making a website for Our Raw Beauty. This recipe makes 3 bath bombs, the size of the moulds I have a link to in the description box, so it makes 3 with an a little extra. Let me know how they go and if you have anymore questions....THANK-YOU Ashley ✌︎ ❤︎
Very nice, well done and thanks for taking the time to make this video. The idea of grinding the citric is a good one- - it makes sense and I shall try it. Thanks.
These are wonderful! Just wondering if the turmeric ever stains the bath tub or skin? I suppose you don't use a ton so it should be okay but I don't want a yellow tub afterwards. I love the idea of using tea! Thanks for this!
I'd love someone to answer you. I've bought tumeric, beetroot and Spirilina powders to make some natural ones and I'm thinking the same thing looking on here to find out 😳😂
I tried your recipe and they just wouldn't harden up for me so I'll tweek it some with clay & tarter maybe reduce the corn starch or arrow powder and spritz with alcohol to help bind it together less oils. if you have to much oils they wont get hard. Love the natural concept
Your very welcome Cindy, very simple to make, I wanted to keep the ratios and basic ingredients easy, and very effective and fizzy..... I hope they work out for you ✌︎
I'm so excited to have found your channel! I'm currently trying to transition my husband and I to a more natural lifestyle so these videos are so helpful!
Hiya Rebekah, Thats amazing, so happy that I can help in this journey for you both. Thats really positive. Thank you so much for your lovely comment ✌︎
Hiii, I used your recipe to make some bath bombs yesterday and I made a couple Batches that came out perfectly!! Today I tried to make some more only using less coconut oil and substituting half of it with water and the bombs are crumbling everywhere I have tried making them more dry and I have tried making them more wet. Do you have any advice or tips?
Hiya Olivia, Thats amazing! Very happy for you :) I see okay, so I guess that there could be a couple reasons for that. One being that lessoning the oil which in turn would need more moisture so adding water, maybe the oil and water aren't mixing to well as oil and water doesn't and the amounts of them are making the mixture split or not mix to well and maybe making the bath bombs crumble? Another reason could be even though equal measures of oil and water seem the same maybe as oil is more thicker then you may need less oil and more water to make it more equal, in terms of stickiness. A lot of bath bomb videos I watched used water in a spray bottle very little oil was used. So it could be the high amount of oil just isn't taking to the added water. When making up the mixture for this video because of the natural colourants (that didn't have water in them) I could then choose whether to make the bombs with water or with oil. So I decided oil for a couple reasons. To make the recipe easy and simple with not many ingredients and ratios. Also I wanted to make the bath bombs fizz as much as possible, so cutting out water would make them at their maximum for fizzing. Also the amount of oil because of the benefits of coconut oil. So going forward I guess experimenting with the ratios of the oil and water. Just using water to bind them or just the oil. But if you would like less oil then yes I would just experiment with the different ratios. I hope that helps :) any more questions please message and I would be really happy to help you. Hope they work out x
Hiya Catie :) I put up to around 10 drops into each bath bomb. But thats all individual how strongly scented you would like it. Some essential oils I find are a stronger scent than others also. So yes around 5-10 drops for each bath bomb :)
Hiya Jocelyn, yes you can defiantly. Either a liquid food colouring or gel you can add as well and it should still fizz there will be a little reaction whilst mixing as the food colouring it water but if not to much is added then it should be fine, Thanks :)
Hi! I was so excited to try this recipe, but my bombs turned out oily and very heavy...I followed your recipe to a "T" except I used avocado oil instead of the coconut oil. Do you think that using avocado oil caused this heaviness? I'll have to try it with coconut oil next time. I always thought, however, that the ratio of baking soda to citric acid was 2:1, so I was a little confused as to how you're able to use 1 cup baking soda and citric acid. I'm a newbie, so I'm still learning the ropes! Love your video!!
Hi there Pamela, I see, okay well I haven't used avocado oil before in a bath bomb, so I'm sorry I'm not able to help you with that question like you said, though that may be the reason... There will be many more bath bombs videos that I will be creating :) all a little different from each other which will bring different qualities. So this one has no water for that reason and its a very rich bath bomb so the oil is very smoothing on the skin. Yes the ratios are all adjustable in the different videos on TH-cam and online. As long as the ingredients are there then the ratios can change a little, the only thing I would say not to alter would be to put to much water into a bath bomb mixture or it will start reacting. Another reason for me is to many different ratios and unneeded ingredients isn't what I felt would be easy for people to follow as much so to keep it simple, simple ratios and natural ingredients :) Hope that helps. Thank you very much! :)
Yes, avocado can be a heavier oil. You can try some sweet almond or apricot as a light carrier oil. For this size batch a 1/2 cup of oil seems a bit much but everyone is different. With no Polysorbate 80 added the BB, it will leave the oils floating on top of the water like an oil slick... I personally don't care for that. The poly 80 will emulsify the oil in the water. We all know oil and water don't mix. LOL If you wanted to stay more natural, try using "Turkey Red" oil, it will disperse in the water. I use the 2:1 ratio of baking soda to citric. There are so many recipes out there, so depending on where you live the humidity can effect you BB's. Some tweeking of recipes can make you successful with your BB's! Hope they're coming together for ya! Have a nice day! Hugs from Texas!! : )
Hi, yes sure. So firstly this all depends on where and how much someone pays for their ingredients. So I will give you an idea by the bath bombs I make in this video... For a basic bath bomb that is just citric acid, bicarbonate soda, cornflour & oil its around 70p per bath bomb. This is by getting the good price on ingredients that are easy to find in UK shops. It could be made slightly cheaper or more depending. Then for the bath bombs which have natural colourants, essential oils and rose buds in then they are around (again depending where you buy these from) 80p-90p. And the moulds I use are £2 for 4 moulds from a craft store called Hobbycraft. Hope that helps! :)
Ive made bath bombs for years and then moved and lost my recipe. I used this one and it seemed to work but then after I formed it out kept expanding until they looked like big croquette patties. Bummed
Hiya, oil and water don't mix, so they always separate. Oil floats on-top of the water so in this case the oil sits on-top of the bath water. This bath bomb mixture is simple, natural and nourishing with the oil. There are many different recipes if you didn't want any oil added into your bath bomb. Okay Thank you :)
it is a 2 to 1 ratio of citric acid and baking soda to get the correct chemical reaction. you should be using a scale and going by weight. you have used too much oil as well.
So many recipes I’ve come across use citric acid. Citric acid is a derivative of mold. You do not want to absorb this. Does anyone know of any recipes without this?
Other nice "dyes:" Wheat grass powder for green, sumac for pink, and saffron for a fleck of red in the bomb, but then a surprise bit of gold in the bath.
Wow all natural!!! I love them. I made a few today and for a first timer they came out beautifully
I made 2 bath bombs like 2 days ago , and now it breaks ☹
@@romaissarania4386 yes I have a tray of bath bombs in my refrigerator bc as soon as they hit the heat they get soft

Our Raw Beauty thank you!! 🙂
Here's a book I can recommend on bath bombs. I like that you can use fruit powders as a coloring in many recipes. Check it out!
Thank u so much!! No poly 80 ❤
Very nice, well done and thanks for taking the time to make this video. The idea of grinding the citric is a good one- - it makes sense and I shall try it. Thanks.
Your very welcome I'm glad the video was helpful to you. Thank you very much for your comment :)
Can I just say, Your bath bomb recipe is like a no fail.....all the others I have tried are not as good.
I was saying she had too much oil and citric acid.... I've never seen a recipe that asked for so much.
Love your video :). Does the turmeric stain the bath tub?
I love your voice and accent. You sound so delicate and feminine. Can't wait to try this recipe!
Made some last night and it was absolutely amazing! Love these! Thank you!!!
These are wonderful! Just wondering if the turmeric ever stains the bath tub or skin? I suppose you don't use a ton so it should be okay but I don't want a yellow tub afterwards. I love the idea of using tea! Thanks for this!
I'd love someone to answer you. I've bought tumeric, beetroot and Spirilina powders to make some natural ones and I'm thinking the same thing looking on here to find out 😳😂
@ lol I never did try it so can’t help! But if your tub is well coated, you could test out some turmeric mixture on a small spot first.
Is corn flour like literally flour you make flour tortillas with??
That's look grate. Thank you for your sharing. Could you tell me how long we can kept that bomb without deteriorate.
Not trying to be mean but it's no grate it's actually great
Hey I tried the bath bombs I couldnt get them to float any suggestions?? 😭
just made some but added epsom salt... love this recipe!!
Hi 😊
How much beetroot powder and turmeric oil do you add please?
How long do the bath bombs take to set?
I made my first batch and it looked grainy. Will grind down the citric acid next time. Thanks!!!
Beautiful video. Finally something for natural bathbombs!
I tried your recipe and they just wouldn't harden up for me so I'll tweek it some with clay & tarter maybe reduce the corn starch or arrow powder and spritz with alcohol to help bind it together less oils. if you have to much oils they wont get hard. Love the natural concept
try witch hazel instead. alcohol drys out the skin
What exactly are you calling corn flour??
Can you substitute corn starch for the corn flour ?
Can I use Shea Butter instead of Coconut oil?
Does it have to be specifically corn flour? Or can I use normal flour
THANK YOU FOR SHARING. LOOKS AMAZING. I WILL TRY THIS. SOOO SIMPLE to make.
Your very welcome Cindy, very simple to make, I wanted to keep the ratios and basic ingredients easy, and very effective and fizzy..... I hope they work out for you ✌︎
What do I add to keep them from crumbling? Like if I wanted to mail them??
Do you have to let these dry?
I'm so excited to have found your channel! I'm currently trying to transition my husband and I to a more natural lifestyle so these videos are so helpful!
Hiya Rebekah, Thats amazing, so happy that I can help in this journey for you both. Thats really positive. Thank you so much for your lovely comment ✌︎
How would you be able to wrap them without breaking them? Also thank you so much I’m making this for a friend for her birthday
Im looking for a organic way to extract colors from flower.
I wonder if i can add dry flower powder to recipe and still enough fizzy~
adding the dry flower powders should have no effect on the fizziness because its just about the citric acid :)
How long do you cure them for? Don't they fall apart if the only liquid is oil?
How often can you use these? Like everyday bathing?
Can you use another type of oil besides coconut if you have clients that are allergic?
Babassu replicates coconut minus the protein.
Wow this is the best video I have watched by far
What size moulds are these please?
Would this recipe b good for an Etsy shop?
Can I use lemon juice instead of citric acid?
What other oils would recommend to use ?
How much tumeric and beetroot powder do you add?
What's the measurement of tumeric

Witch hazel, not water
Water activates the Citric acid. Oil does not
What a great idea - great gift
How many drops of essential oils do you use for each bowl?
Hiya Catie :) I put up to around 10 drops into each bath bomb. But thats all individual how strongly scented you would like it. Some essential oils I find are a stronger scent than others also. So yes around 5-10 drops for each bath bomb :)
I made 2 bath bombs and now they are falling apart 😣😣 what can i do ! Plz help me out
Can I use corn starch as a substitute for corn flour?? Pls answer thxxx💖💕
No corn flour is much too abrasive.
Yes you can theyre the same
yes! Great job on your ingredients. Thank you for sharing.
I like this tutorial. Thank you so much!
Hiya, thank you for the video, just had a quick question - would anyone be able to tell me what the arrowroot/cornstarch is for? Thank you :D
Wondering the same
It's the softening agent in all bath bombs.
Am I able to use cornstarch instead of corn flour?
Yes they’re the same :)
omg thank you soo much for this i just bought some that were soo pricey and you taught me i can do it myself :P
Can I add food coloring and still get the bath bomb to work and fizz good?
Hiya Jocelyn, yes you can defiantly. Either a liquid food colouring or gel you can add as well and it should still fizz there will be a little reaction whilst mixing as the food colouring it water but if not to much is added then it should be fine, Thanks :)

I think she meant pounds but idk....
You created such a nice video! Thank you!
Thank-you Savannahali :)
Is the first one a vegan bath bomb?
Ive made bath bombs for years and then moved and lost my recipe. I used this one and it seemed to work but then after I formed it out kept expanding until they looked like big croquette patties. Bummed
Why don't u use water?
How come did I had the oil floating above the water? I don't get it 😢

Looks like it turned out fine...
This is brilliant, thank you!!

Thank you 🙏🏾👁💚
Can’t wait to try it

Interesting!
Looking at you video is so relaxing
Best diy ever ❤️❤️
Wow that's amazing
So many recipes I’ve come across use citric acid. Citric acid is a derivative of mold. You do not want to absorb this. Does anyone know of any recipes without this?
It seems that you have stopped uploading altogether but thanks for your work. Anyways
Such a nice video!
Thank-you Eliza :)
Loved this
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I really loved your video :)
The intro kinda reminds me of harry styles album cover
That is First Aid Kit, my favorite band!!!
