Comments on: DIY bath bombs like lush but for sensitive skin

I’ve made several bath bombs before, using multiple different recipes. But the amount of baking soda & other dry powders does not work with 6 TBSP of oil. I could tell it was gonna be too much so I only put 4 TBSP, but even then my mix was like soaking wet bumpy goo? I’m not sure how to describe it…. So I proceeded to add more baking soda, salt, I even added citric acid (this is a major key in all the other recipes I’ve tried & have had success with). I kept adding and adding a little at a time until I got to a “damp sand” consistency- I tried to match the texture I got when making these in the past (again, different recipe). There was NO way I was gonna waste 4 TBSP of CBD oil (made myself & again, used in all the other recipes in place of the sunflower/coconut oil). They’re in the molds and I put them directly in the freezer – I don’t think they’re gonna set but fingers crossed my mods fixed this issue.

In reply to Allie. If this happens, add arrowroot starch and salt. when molding, mix it every after each mold, do not press hard then gently remove from mold. if it fails, leave it in the mold and have it harden in the freezer for 15minutes.

Hi Allie

I had the same yesterday! They are currently in their moulds drying but I’m not sure if they are drying at all!
How are you getting on with them? Have they dried?

Hi Eve. Can you please confirm the amount of sunflower oil is 6 Tablespoons, as “TBS” seems to suggest? I tried this recipe today and it didn’t work out well at all. My dry mix felt like damp sand after just over half of the oils were added, but the bombs kept breaking in my mold. Adding more oil made the mix the consistency of Play-Doh, and then they were too damp and sticky to be in the molds. I’ve rolled them like snowballs and am drying them now to see what happens, but so far, I am sadly displeased with this recipe. I appreciate any pointers you have. Thanks.

Hello Eve. I’d love to make these but wondered if you could suggest the ingredients in weight please? I’m nit sure how accurate I’d be with the cup measurements! Thank you.
