I found this so relaxing to watch last night, I know it's an older one.....but as soon as I log in RUclips knows who I want to see and it's non-discriminatory as to the dates but I'm good with that. There are so many helpful hints in all of your videos and I'm always looking for my pen and tablet to write them down. I watched a few others as well but don't want to take up your time with comments on videos you may not recall. They were all wonderful and instructional.
Yay! It's Karen! I have missed your beautiful voice! I am so excited that you posted a video and it has a recipe attached....BONUS! Thank you for the instructional video. I am going to try your recipe with my niece this week. We won't be making 3 batches like you! We will just make a few to try them out and see if we can recreate your perfection! Yours are beautiful with those wafer flowers in them! Thanks for sharing with us. Toodles for now! 👋
Just Beautiful there is a company called Muddy soaps that has a Electra Press thats a good price and it just plugs in no compressor needed I'm really thinking on getting one sure would make it a quick easy job to do large amounts. I use 91% Alcohol and let sit unmolded nearly 2 days with dehumidifier depending on weather. Shrink wrap also Been viewing your videos for years always impressive Happy Soaping
Lol my kids taught me to remember the name ROY G BIV to be able to remember the rainbow. ( Red, Orange, Yellow, Green Blue, Indigo, Violet). I only use one mold over and over for the making of my bath bombs. I find with stainless Steel you don't have to let them sit before un molding .
Hi your one of my inspiration when it comes some of my craft stuff I make, keep up the good work. You can tell me off if you want but a cheeky question but where you buy your mica and fragrance oil and large moulds from. I do craft fairs and profit isn’t big at the minute due to where I’m getting my ingredients from. Thanks for your reply
Beautiful as always! I make some with eucalyptus eo and within 3 days the scent was gone! Do you find that the scents fade more with eo vs fo? I can't afford to keep waisting my ingredients on batches that I can't sell. Or maybe do you think I am not wrapping them soon enough? I would love any advice!!!!
Do you add kaolin clay? it helps bind the oils I wrap by day 2 it takes that long here to get really hard. It's always adjusting to humidity I also have a room dehumidifier and use 91% Alcohol but its dif for everyone I let mine sit on towel over muffin molds I've even seen on plastic wrap and foam what ever works, can't let sit in molds
Mary Kat no i didn't think of that. I do use it in my soaps to help anchor. I will give that a try. I just have bad luck with eo. For some reason they don't stick in anything I make. They are so expensive to not be able to smell in the end.
Cynthia Brooks You can use water soluable dyes. There is body safe food colorant available as well as lakes and dyes used in cosmetics. Anything that is water soluable doesn't need an emulsifier like poly 80 but colorants like mica and oil based colorants, or carrier oils in general, need an emulsifier to help them not stick to the edges of the tub or gather on the surface of the water.
I just watch your bath bomb mould and that’s what I’m spending a lot of money on to find the right moulds.While watching something came to mind to sort out the dent moulds. Get a wooden mould made and put the dent ones in it and smooth them back out after each use. Let me know if you think this a good idea
The heat thing is odd, but I guess it depends on your recipe. I live in the hot desert, and I put mine in the garage when the garage is 120+ degrees F. No problems
It is hard to find the same cup that you use? It is better if you can scale it i oz or gram of your cup recipes, so that we can share your measurement ratio . Thx
I know this is an older video but I’ve been following you for some time now. In one video you started the perfect size bath bomb mold size but it was hard to find. I can’t find that video now 😂. What is your preferred bb size mold. Thank you as always you’re awesome
what size is the mega bombs mold. I keep ordering and getting a misrepresented size. I want a mega. What is the large mega size???????????? please and thank you
Cost of ingredients alone for me (because it all depends how much you pay for the ingredients) is approx £1.25 but there is packaging costs, tissue, packing peanuts, shipping boxes, equipment, time, thank you cards, ink for printers, all manner of other things on top of that such as paying for websites, shipping, electricity, any rent, rates etc. all kinds of stuff I sell these ones for £4.75 after all deductions I’m left with approx 25% net profit across the whole business
Thank you so much for this demo Karen. I've been struggling with my bath bombs and tips and tricks are so helpful. Loving the soap I got from you. Can't get enough of your cashmere rose meringue. It lasts forever and leaves a rose bath each time I use it. The kids love the cupcakes and most are almost gone, LOL. I'm soaping again thanks to you tube channels (yours in particular) like yours and having the time of my life. If you want to see what I've been doing have a look at my new online shop, www.jentlesoaps.com .
Bath bombs need to be wrapped. Simply because after they are made they absorb moisture. If your bath bombs are not hard enough when you make them, add extra water.
It's like RUclips Gold when you post. We miss and love you Karen
Aww thanks Ann

Do you remember those rose molds you made?
Can you teach us how to make them please?
Thank you.
I admire your hard work and confidence.

So nice to see you Karen.....we miss you!
THEY ARE GREAT LOVE THE COLOURS.
how long you let them on the mold plz and where do you buy the little flowers
Lol my kids taught me to remember the name ROY G BIV to be able to remember the rainbow. ( Red, Orange, Yellow, Green Blue, Indigo, Violet).
I only use one mold over and over for the making of my bath bombs. I find with stainless Steel you don't have to let them sit before un molding .
Yep, the stainless steel seem to work so much better
awesome.. I made bath bombs years ago with school agers and omw it was a blast. thanks for sharing this video .. ur so awesome...
They look amazing 💕 on the fourth one you made you forgot the glitter I was like nooooo!!! 😂

www.mineralmakeupingredients.co.uk/Wholesale-Mica-Powder. Good profit is hard to come by, trust me I know
Wonderful Karen, very simple but perfect recipe. How long do you keep them out for till you unmold?
12 to 24 hours
Love your video. Can you tell what the roses are you used please, they look fantastic.
Great video Karen. Did you make the wafer flowers yourself? They look terrific.
Great video going try these.... Where do you get the mica from colours were fab

Yes, I do find Eo's fade more, but as with everything, it depends which EO you are using. If you do wrap them sooner, they will keep the scent better
Or use polysorbate 80 for Micas not stain/cling to tube.
Corena Garoutte, there's Poly in her recipe above. With a ton of mica, it can still stick.
What do you use for colorant if not mica?
Cynthia Brooks You can use water soluable dyes. There is body safe food colorant available as well as lakes and dyes used in cosmetics. Anything that is water soluable doesn't need an emulsifier like poly 80 but colorants like mica and oil based colorants, or carrier oils in general, need an emulsifier to help them not stick to the edges of the tub or gather on the surface of the water.
Beautiful as ever. Where do you get your flowers from? Xx
Lovely, but I couldn't see when the oils were mixed in.
Love the colors! Great job as always. Thank you for sharing.
You make it look soooo easy...thank you
It's taken me years to manage these
Hello I enjoy watching your videos. Can you tell me where you bought your roses
Ebay
Joe lovely, i cant fond the full recipe on the description Dan Simeone help me ❤️
I just watch your bath bomb mould and that’s what I’m spending a lot of money on to find the right moulds.While watching something came to mind to sort out the dent moulds. Get a wooden mould made and put the dent ones in it and smooth them back out after each use. Let me know if you think this a good idea
Best just go buy stainless steel moulds, they don't dent
The heat thing is odd, but I guess it depends on your recipe. I live in the hot desert, and I put mine in the garage when the garage is 120+ degrees F. No problems
Lovely bath bombs would love to know where you got your lovely flowers Karen love watching your videos thankyou
It is hard to find the same cup that you use? It is better if you can scale it i oz or gram of your cup recipes, so that we can share your measurement ratio . Thx
Welcome back Karen, I miss you so much! How long did it take for the bombs to become hard?
Love watching your videos Karen. :)
Are the cups 200 ml or 250 ml?
250ml
Great video as usual. I would love to know where you got your flowers.
Hi Karen, I live in the UK and I'm finding it hard to find a descent supplier to get mica's, could you tell me where you get yours please? X x x
www.mineralmakeupingredients.co.uk/Wholesale-Mica-Powder
I know this is an older video but I’ve been following you for some time now. In one video you started the perfect size bath bomb mold size but it was hard to find. I can’t find that video now 😂. What is your preferred bb size mold. Thank you as always you’re awesome
Hi Donna, thanks so much for watching and for your comment
What kind of flowers you use to top bath bombs ? They're really cute ! And thank you for the techniques.
Wafer flowers
Where can I find SLSA AND Polysobate and what kind of flowers can go into the bombs?
I'm gonna try this recipe . they look like they are very hard
Jessie DeSena I was amazed when she dropped it that it didn't even phase the shape or break!
Brandy Nettleton me too. I need to try the recipe!
Hi Karen, I love everything you make:)))
What size are the molds your using please? Love this video!!
How long do you keep your bath bombs in the mold to dry? thanks for the video, just love to watch you...keep them coming, blessings! :)xx's
12 to 24 hours
you make it all seem so simple
How long do you let them sit to 'Cure"?
Amy Blakewood I can't speak for her since she may do it differently, but I cure mine for 24 hours and that works for me just fine :)
Overnight. 12 to 24 hours
Really nice. Love all your videos.
your bombs is very intact, when I make mind after removing the mold it still have crumb dropping all over, please advise does it mean too dry or?
when making such a big batch do you have to continue to wet the mixture so it doesn't get too dry?
beautiful bombs but we can't hear you over the mixer. love those soap flowers!
Why mix with mixer as apposed to with a spoon please?
Hi Karen, can you tell me what SLSA stands for. Thanks Carol.
What are the flowers made of? Where do you get your molds and ingredients?
Hello, I was just wondering how much SLSA Powder did you add to the above mixture? thank you
They sound hard as rocks, does spritzing the water help with that?
The more water you add the harder they become so find a happy medium.......... also the harder they are the longer they fizz
Yes, the water makes them hard
Where can i get those flowers
what size is the mega bombs mold. I keep ordering and getting a misrepresented size. I want a mega. What is the large mega size???????????? please and thank you
Fabulous 😍
You said 1-1/2 C SLSA but the description below says 1C. Confused, which is it?
When do you add oil & poly? I didn't see that part on the video
Do you put FO or EO in them?
FO, I don't use Eo's any more
Looks great nice & hard. Thanks for the info & sharing.
