Hey Hey Hey! It's time for another WTF Wednesday! Today I'm taking a minute to show you a SOLID free bath bomb recipe and give a brief explanation about what the different ingredients do... and why??? So I can continue on with destroying my bath tub over the next few weeks 😂😂😂 So while there isn't a lot of drama in this one, we're laying groundwork for some STUPID videos I've got queued up!
✨✨Also! Sorry its a little late! I've been trying to upload it all day and I guess Hurricanes and internet don't mix😩✨✨
WHAT THE FUUUUUU....
Welcome to WTF! For these videos I'll be making and testing recipes I've yoinked from Pinterest or random google searches for "diy bath bomb recipe"... I expect the results to be pretty hilarious! I won't include links to the recipes unless they are successful because the goal isn't to shame anyone, just to have fun and see how flawed the internet can be when it's trying to be "helpful" 😉

15:02 excellent point! My opinion is that fizzing and foaming should not be combined in one formula, because you get the best foam from aerating the bath (usually by splashing as it starts to fill), which loses the fizz, and the best fizz by putting it in while you're already submerged so the bubbles tickle you.

I have spent the last 6 months creating my recipe. And what’s funny is I found as well I like kaolin clay, cream of tartar, and cornstarch. I finally perfected my recipe a couple days ago. Playing around with different concoctions is so much fun and ive had so many fails too. However my daughter loves having a nonstop shop of bath bombs in the house with me adding them to my business.

That you consider cream of tartar a hardener on a par with the clay or starch perplexes me. Kaolin, starch, sure...but cream of tartar?! I'd consider cream of tartar a source of acid and in some recipes a pH buffer to prolong the fizzing action. It *will* get hard as it crystallizes, so maybe that's what you meant by "hardener", but maybe you should allow the term "filler" for spongey materials like kaolin and starch. Such materials can be compressed a lot; cream of tartar, not so much.

Just out of curiosity - what FO did you end up using? When you sniffed the bath bomb towards the end, you said, "so much better than an essential oil..." or something to that effect - are FO's better than EO's for bath bombs? By the way - great video - and I'm loving you WTF videos! The experimentation is awesome and I've learned a lot!! Thanks!

FO’s tend to last longer in bath bombs than EO’s… whether they are *better*, well 😅 you’ll get a whole world of opinions in what’s better. I personally prefer FO’s over EO’s and for the most part they are easier and safer to use than EO’s (as long as they are from reputable cosmetic suppliers!)

@@BathFizzFoam Thank you SO much! I have a bunch of FO's - guess I'll start using them more often! I usually buy them from Nurture Soap, which seems to have a great reputation. Thanks again!

Can you explain why adding sugar via sprinkles to bath bombs is bad? I’m just confused when people market and sell sugar scrubs for the bathtub… I’m new to your channel and have heard you say that twice, but I can’t find the video where you address “the why”.

@BathFizzFoam 11 ай бұрын

In my opinion it’s not the sugar that is the problem, it’s that in the US we are required to list ingredients on cosmetics. For a sugar sprinkle if you can find the ingredients (which they aren’t always listed!) that adds A LOT of ingredients to a label, some of which might not be approved for use in cosmetics 😬 Another reason why they are problematic is that they are kind of a hot button… lol they will elicit big opinions from other cosmetic makers (some for sugar sprinkles, some against them)… but the main reason I don’t like like them is that they don’t dissolve very well! 🙃 Although some people would argue that any sugar in the bath is bad, you make a great point when you say that people use sugar scrubs in their bath! So to me, that’s not the sticking point-it’s mostly issues with ingredients, and not dissolving! But I’m also a huge advocate of staying in my lane 😅… if I see someone using them I’m not gonna say anything or judge them. Afterall, I see soap suppliers selling WILTON BRAND SPRINKLES as soap sprinkles 🤪 so what do I know haha

@@BathFizzFoam thank you so much for answering! That makes so much sense! I really trying to make it work in my head for the sugar angle and was getting frustrated considering the scrubs lol… it’s so great when channels actually answer! P.S. I’m new but am loving your channel so far!!!💕

8:00 You take too narrow a view of what "surfactant" means. Emulsifiers like the polysorbates *are surfactants* , and they would be so regardless of whether they produced any suds as a side effect of their emulsifying action. Some surfactants are even used to counteract foaming. You mentioned lecithin; it's a surfactant used as an emulsifier, and it doesn't foam.
