Learn how to make heavily scented bath bombs! The ones that scent the entire bath room, water, & your skin! A normal recipe uses less than 2% fragrance; this one uses approximately 6%. You'll need is a powder that locks in oil. I use Natrasorb, but you can use other powders, click here for that list: • How To Make Heavily Sc...
I recommend a high-quality, skin safe fragrance that doesn’t exceed 6% max usage rate.
OIL-LOCKING POWDER: *** The max amount of liquid you can add depends on the powder you use. RECIPE: 24 grams Natrasorb powder, 12 milliliters fragrance, 2 milliliters polysorbate 80. Measure powder & wet ingredients separately. Add wet to powder & mix thoroughly. The powder will absorb the liquid & should be dry to the touch.
BATH BOMB RECIPE: 1 cup baking soda, 1/2 cup citric acid, 1/4 cup corn starch, 1 teaspoon Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate (SLSa). + 15 milliliters fragrance, 3 milliliters polysorbate 80, 3 milliliters water. *The SLSa is optional; it makes bombs last longer & adds foam [or use sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium cocoyl isethionate, or sodium coco sulfate instead]. You may adjust ingredients & amounts as you see fit. Just know this may impact the final bath bomb. DIRECTOINS: Sieve dry & mix wet ingredients separately. Add wet ingredients slowly while whisking. Add fragrance/powder mixture, then thoroughly mix the batch & knead it with your hands. The mixture should hold together when squeezed. I added eco-friendly gold decoration to add more of a luxurious feel.
MOLDING: I used a 2.5" mold & coated it with gold mica. Fill the mold & lightly pack it. Sprinkle loose mix on top. Repeat for other side. Smoosh the 2 sides together tightly. Then tap both sides to release the bomb. Dry them for 24-48 hours, then package. TIP: After molding a few times the mica may stick to the mold & not the bomb. If this happens, rub mica on the bomb with your finger.
PACKAGING: Cut a square of crepe paper & stretch the middle a bit. Place bomb in center & bring the 4 corners to the top. Gather loose material to make it tight around the bomb. Secure the top & tie ribbon or cord around it. Last, pull & adjust gathered material on top to make a full poof.
This recipe makes 4, 2.5" bath bombs exactly. They should last up to a year but bath bombs are best used fresh. They loose effervescence over time. So, the sooner you use them, the better.
