Floating and spinning bath bomb with recipe and test - great for beginners!

Hello everyone! Amanda here and I’m the sole owner of Hungry Bubbles here to show you a simplified bath bomb recipe that results in them spinning & foaming in the water!

This is a great recipe for both beginners and avid bath bomb makers because it’s pretty easy to get right. I’m not the best at bath bomb making so if I can do it, you can too!

The key to great bath bombs is knowing when to stop adding moisture, and when to add more. Once you understand how humidity can play a role in your recipe it gets much easier from there!

Here is the recipe I use in this video:

Dry ingredients:
3 cups baking soda (sift this to get out clumps)
1 and 3/4 cups citric acid (fine grain works best!)
3 tablespoons SLSA (if you do not have SLSA that’s ok, you can slightly reduce the amount of water you add in or oil, just note that your bath bombs won’t be foamy like mine are in the video, but that’s ok!)
2-3 tablespoons of a hardening ingredient such as kaolin clay, cream of tartar, or corn starch, I used cream of tartar
Colorant- lakes and dyes or other batch certified skin safe colorant

Wet ingredients:
2-2.5 tablespoons light oil (such as grapeseed, jojoba, rice bran oil)
Fragrance (I used 1 tablespoon for this batch and it came out strong but not overwhelming)
1 tablespoon Polysorbate 80
Water or witch hazel (start with a few spritzes and work your way up. You can always add more water but you can’t take it out!)

Mix your wet ingredients to your dry (but not the water yet) and mix well until evenly incorporated as the video shows. Get a feel for the mixture! Test your mixture with a mold and see if it holds up, if it does you are good to go! If your mixture gets dry while you are molding it may crumble, just add a few more spritzes of water to moisten it back up.

Tips: Blooming your colorant in just the baking soda overnight is very helpful and results in a more even bath bomb color. Blooming means you take your baking soda in a bowl and add your colorant and spray or mix in enough water to bloom, or spread out all the colorant so that you don’t get speckles. Though speckles are ok if you’re going for that look!

I hope you found this video helpful and informative. As a small business, some would say that posting my recipe online is silly, but I just want everyone to get out there and start making these! I’ll always get customers to my shop regardless, so if I can help you get your small business started, YAY!! Let’s lift each other up and support one another 🥰
