My daughters have been interested in making these for a while so today we have made them using your instructions & tutorial. I managed to source the citric acid from an independent health food shop (was in the wine making section?!) and we used bicarbonate of soda. I had some rose essence left over from cake making. I used olive oil, but next time I will use almond oil as it isn't as strong smelling. We didn't have moulds so we used a silicone cupcake mould. Patted them down firmly and turned them out like sandcastles on some baking paper on a tray, to dry out. They look great & smell lovely. We are already discussing future designs & fragrances. Thank you for the tutorial. It has provided some entertainment on a wet afternoon in England!
Sunflower oil is also a very light oil that doesn't smell much. Citric acid can also be bought online from candy supply vendors, because it's used to add sourness to citrus candies.
I made these today with my daughter. It worked perfectly. We added orange zest and rose petals and it amped up the scents. This recipe made lovely bath bombs, and adding the water into the oil and food coloring mixture did not make the dry ingredients react before making the molds. It worked perfectly. I’ll be adjusting the added scents with other dried flowers in the future. Thank you for sharing your video.
Sorry I have just viewed this video and I can't seem to find the description box can you please list the amounts for each ingredient? Thanks you in advance.
I made these today ( after a long and interesting search for citric acid) and I have to say, I love them! I didn't have much food colouring, so I used a red soap colouring, which worked just as well. I didn't use as much, because I wanted a lighter colour. It worked really well, the colour was a light marshmallow-pink. Awesome. I can't buy essential oils easily where I live (and shipping is a no-no) so I just used soap flavouring I found in my cupboards, in vanilla. The smell was just as amazing! I was super happy! I used almond oil instead of olive oil, as I find it a bit more moisturising and I didn't have the oilyness from the essential oils. I found that the mixture was a bit dry though, so I added one or two more teaspoons of almond oil and it was perfect. I also couldn't find a mould anywhere in any of the shops and as I said, shipping was too complicated for where I lived so i tried using silicone cupcake moulds. Well, lets just say those FAILED EPICLY. LOL. I dug around in my cupboards and found a smallish bowl and an eggcup. I followed your instructions on removing the mould and they worked perfectly. The mixture was enough for 10 large bombs and 2 smaller ones. Nearer to the end, I started playing around with them by adding sprinkles into the bottom of the mould and into the mixture. They were even more beautiful than the others! Success! I am now looking forward to a future of vanilla-cupcake-marshmallow baths. Thank you so much for your awesome tutorial, it was so helpful. The bath bombs turned out beautifully!
It took me a long time to figure out how to make these bombs. Finally mastered it but I use stainless steel molds now. Once you use bombs you never want to take a shower again!
Wanted to do this 4 years back.. Bought the ingredients but left inside cupboard and realised it was there today! Oh well. Corn Starch (exp 2017) and Citric acid (exp 2018) had expired.. Any idea if these still be use for making bathbomb now?
Thank you SO much for making this video! I just found out about bath bombs today on RUclips and as a bath lover, I looked them up and was saddened when I saw they are around $7 for ONE ball! As a college student, I don't have money for that! This is relatively inexpensive and I cannot wait to make tons of these for myself and hopefully as gifts for friends and family :)
I have to give credit when it’s due and your the first to leave one of the best!!! And simple instructions explained very well might I add I’m late I know… getting to your video but thanks so much job well done 👍🏾
Unless you have citric acid this will bot fizz it will just blend into the water.the baking soda dosent set off the reaction the citric acid and bake ing soda do.
I believe those same kinds of molds are available at Walmart (and other stores with a christmas section) during the holidays/whenever people start putting out their Christmas stuff! I've only seen sphere ornaments, though.
It doesn't take a week to hold shape. They don't require curing. Curing is a product that is unsafe to use immediately. These are not unsafe, they just aren't dry. I leave mine in the mold maybe 5 minutes and carefully remove from the mold as she showed. Within a few hours you can package them and they are harder. Within a day or two they should be very hard, which is a good thing! =o)
Carstina Beauty Thanks for the reply. :) Do you have any rights on that formula actually? We are having a school project at the moment where several groups have to produce and sell a good. I would like to present the bath bombs as idea but I don't want to steal something.
thank you so much we dont have this in mexico ( or at least i havent seen a lush store neat me) and thanks to you i can try this things i just need to get a mold.
Wow this doesn't seem bad at all. I feel like im wasting my time because when I'm done with my college work I just go on my phone. I would love a hobby to do
I made a bath bomb for the first time using a recipe I found. It was 1 cup baking soda, 1 cup epsom salt, 1/2 cup corn starch; food coloring (for color), 3/4 tbsp water, 1 tbsp coconut oil, and 1/2 cup lemon juice. I didn’t add epsom salt (forgot to) and not enough lemon juice (for liquid). Mine fell apart. How do I measure out enough ingredients so that it doesn’t happen again or where did I go wrong, where the fell apart after they dried and taken out of the mold?
hello! I love your recIpe for bath bombs. I find very usefull that you used grams instead of cups, becouse in my country we don't use cups for measuring and it's difficult for me to convert everything.(i am a littlebit lazy for doing converting :D) I used combination of lavender, bergamot and ylang ylan esential oils and it smells awesome!! i even added some dry lavender petals. I also used fine sea salt instead of Epsom salt. I add even more oil and water becouse bombs were breaking all the time. So that way i succeeded. YOUR RECIPE IS TOTALLY AWESOME I LOVE IT AND IS SO SIMPLE. I AM REALY GRATEFULL THAT YOU POSTED THIS VIDEO! I WATCH SO MANY OF THEM TRYING TO FIND THE SIMPLEST ONE AND THIS ONE WORKED FOR ME JUST FINE... NO, NOT JUST FINE IT WORKED AWESOOOOOME :D THANK YOU AGAIN JJ

your a awesome mom to even look it up and do it!

Shelly Tan that last sentence explains everything.
Yea I know
Cathy Emery stop plz

Hi! how many bombs did you get from this recipe? and how long did you leave them to dry?? thank you! :)
What oil did u use ✨
Why does the bath ball not float up
The essential oil I use
Here's a trick add the citric acid last after the water is poured in because then you citric acid will not fiz out
Can you used like lemon juice? Do you know?
@@aiyanafigueroa7489 yes u can just a little bit
Does this work? Could you confirm?
does it worrk?
Thanks Chloe!
The recipe and the amounts you need are listed in the information box :)
You have the same accent-voice as Rebel Wilson :) x
+Beckie Summers Ikr!
+Beckie Summers This chick is a New Zealander where Rebel Wilson is an Aussie.... We Aussies sound nothing like Kiwis....

No one :
Literally no one :
Me during quarantine : learning how to make bath bombs
I hope you like these!
Lol same
Me too lol
Lmao same
Me too
I think I may have been doing this wrong; I used gunpowder as the main ingredient.
Xenath Cytrin 👍👏👏👏
😂😂🤣
Those must be some EXPENSIVE bath bombs
Lol! Pow!
Xenath Cytrin xd
I was hoping I could make this with things I already have at home lmao. "Add citric acid" I was like okkkk never mind lmao
watch my video, the bath bombs only have 2 ingredients !!
and they look LIKE CUPCAKESS :)
You can find citric acid in your grocery store! It's used to can fresh fruits and veggies! =o)
Lemons
Simian Music same
right...
You guys need to look through the description box for measurements and ingredients before you call her stupid, or the video stupid.
Yes I am with you
I think you should just don’t say that stuff is stupid
Thank you for liking my
Sorry I have just viewed this video and I can't seem to find the description box can you please list the amounts for each ingredient? Thanks you in advance.
@@jarvisfarley4282 225g Baking soda
113g citric acid
113g corn flour (cornstarch)
113g Epsom salts
1 tsp water
2 tsp essential oil
3 tsp oil e.g. olive oil
Food colouring

another thing you can use for a mold is those plastic eggs you get from Easter time.
Thank You for the down to earth tutorial. I simply wanted to learn how to put these together and You gave perfect instructions on how to do that.
You're welcome! 🙂
Ive been trying to find a decent video. 4 videos later. Finally found a good one! Thanks! 🇦🇺
I've tried a bunch of different tutorials....THIS was by far the best and easiest to watch. New sub here.
Such a cool video! Now I don't have to completely break my bank at Lush
tip: instead of getting a mold, you could use an egg poacher or a plastic easter egg
spottedstar1123 omg thank you so much dont know how i didnt think of that
spottedstar1123 omg thank uuuu!!
plastic Easter egg! Eggcellent idea! (Bummer I just bought molds from Amazon. Oh well, 6 bucks for 3.)
Or for a smaller and oval one you could use the shell from silly putty
spottedstar1ice trays as well
It took me a long time to figure out how to make these bombs. Finally mastered it but I use stainless steel molds now. Once you use bombs you never want to take a shower again!
Ive been trying to find a decent video. 4 videos later. Finally found a good one! Thanks! 💙🇦🇺
this is awesome! these would make such lovely christmas presents!
My thoughts exactly
Depends on the size of the mold, around 4-5
Upul Nanayakkara I don't know
i
Rainbow Dash excuse me ???
Rainbow Dash haha good one dude
Irea Alidema hahahahahaha, you're the annoying one
Very amazing! Thank you for your work :)

Extra, really extra, very good work
Very easy. I like a lot. Didn't take a long time to explain.
+Super Star Sisters Thank you! Let me know if you make them 😊
Wanted to do this 4 years back.. Bought the ingredients but left inside cupboard and realised it was there today! Oh well. Corn Starch (exp 2017) and Citric acid (exp 2018) had expired.. Any idea if these still be use for making bathbomb now?
Thank you. Not all American's are so rude as a previous post . I am sorry someone was so rude. nice recipe thanks again
I don't take offence, that's just what some people are like especially on RUclips. Your welcome :)
How do you even know that they were American? Kinda racist even if you didnt mean it like that.....
Deborah Koh cuz the girl said she lived in the us....
American isn't a race, it's a nationality.
I love those from lush!! Now thanks to you I can make my own!! ^^
This really helped, other videos on how to make them were really complicated
+Cara Kochis Thank you Cara 😊
Thank you for an amazingly simple recipe and easy-to-follow instructions.
I love this video! i will definitely try this out sometime!
iamSanna I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL
OMG HI SANNA
SANNA!?

Thank you SO much for making this video! I just found out about bath bombs today on RUclips and as a bath lover, I looked them up and was saddened when I saw they are around $7 for ONE ball!

Stephanie Carol These are super cheap to make! Thanks for watching Stephanie
thank you for this step-by-step tutorial and adding all ingredient information in the description!!
My boys love bath bombs, we are going to make these, thank you.
How long do they take to dry? And how should they be stored? Love this video!
I saw somewhere that once it's dried you store them in an airtight container
I hear a New Zealand Accent :) awesome video, you have a new subscriber
Caro You do! Thank you so much :)
Thanks for the video, the wife is having fun making them now 👍
You make a wonderful video Carina! The simplest method I have seen.
LuSinda Dionne Thank you so much :)
Hi Carina
awaiting my molds to make these bath fizzies. Prefer this name than the one beginning with B. Think how this looks to gmail.
Could yu jus put it all in a jar and sprinkle in tub when u bath?
luanne roeder Yup, but thats usually called bath salts :)
Good idea
luanne roeder yes you can just put it in a jar instead of a mold and they have videos on it it is called fizzy bath salts
I must admit I had looked up 113g 225g but it didn't hurt great video
Thank you :)
Hehe...I have to convert cups, ounces to grams all the time. But you can get used to conversions.:p
I have to give credit when it’s due and your the first to leave one of the best!!! And simple instructions explained very well might I add I’m late I know… getting to your video but thanks so much job well done 👍🏾
Thank you for being so clear and concise!
This video is soo helpful, you filmed it perfectly
Will it still explode in the bath?
Yes
Parker Best this comment made me laugh for no reason
well sort of, it should fizz like crazy and dissolve into the water.
not really explode lol
it will fizz a little because it has baking soda :)
Unless you have citric acid this will bot fizz it will just blend into the water.the baking soda dosent set off the reaction the citric acid and bake ing soda do.
Wow . I'm korea designer. Your art works are very nice👍👍🥰😍🥰😍❣
About to make mine now :D Been excitedly waiting for all my bits to turn up from amazon and ebay, finally there here ! Thanks for the tutorial : )
mandyXtheXspoon Your welcome! Hope it turned out well :)
Would've been cool to see them in action
Gabe Fuentes Have been meaning to upload a video showing the end results, will do soon :)
u kinda sound like rebel wilson
+Christine Miller Rebel is from Aussie. We are Kiwi's, different accents :P
We're sensitive about it like the Canadians with the American accent :D
+Janine Wilson oh ok sorry i didnt know
I enjoyed the video. Thank you for showing me how to do it. You gave me some nice ideas. Thanks again
Great video Carina! Questions...Is there any problem with using the food coloring? Does it not leave ones skin stained?
This is such a nice thought, I hope you'll do more.
Thank you! I've got quite a few other DIYs :)
Can you do a demo of this in the water please
If I search up how to make a bath bomb, will I get in trouble with the FBI?
My daughter loves bath bombs, I guess I'm going to be buying some ingredients ;-) thanks
You sound like rebel 😃
Lauren Miss I get that a lot!
+Carina St
That's what I was thinking 😅
True
Lauren Moss lol
Mmmm slight problem.... Where do you buy citric acid?
The acid store
Online or stores that sell in bulk like Bulk Barn for example and some grocery stores.
Amazon
you can actually use limon juice.
lemon juice will cause the reaction because its wet. dry citric acid works best
Your the best u know my kids love your diys thank u🙏🙏
I can't wait to try this. We don't get this product in India yet.... Thanks for the tutorial loved it! :D
I'm definitely trying this out
can you use bath salts? instead of Epson salts?
I believe those same kinds of molds are available at Walmart (and other stores with a christmas section) during the holidays/whenever people start putting out their Christmas stuff! I've only seen sphere ornaments, though.
Going to be trying to make these today! Have to do them for a college project, I hope this is as easy as the video makes it 🙈
I would want to do a red one then scream to scare the hell out of my parents. Jesus xD
Does it crumble when you touch them?
Let it cure for a week and it won't.
It doesn't take a week to hold shape. They don't require curing. Curing is a product that is unsafe to use immediately. These are not unsafe, they just aren't dry.
I leave mine in the mold maybe 5 minutes and carefully remove from the mold as she showed. Within a few hours you can package them and they are harder. Within a day or two they should be very hard, which is a good thing! =o)
Absolutely love and its not complicated! Thank you very appreciated!!
they have cute colors♥ luv thissss
Can you add a flavor so the water 'smells'? :)
HowIMetYourSmurf Essential oils are usually what has the scent but you could add something else if you wanted to :)
Carstina Beauty Thanks for the reply. :)
Do you have any rights on that formula actually? We are having a school project at the moment where several groups have to produce and sell a good. I would like to present the bath bombs as idea but I don't want to steal something.
HowIMetYourSmurf I've sort of changed it around from a lot of different recipes so it's completely my own :) You wouldn't be stealing anything
Carstina What do bath bombs do?
Chibi Sketchbook Well they kind of change the bath water or something like that.
you sound like Amy from Pitch Perfect
thank you so much we dont have this in mexico ( or at least i havent seen a lush store neat me) and thanks to you i can try this things i just need to get a mold.
My friend liked the idea of bath bombs
So he got in the bath
And set up a bomb
It turns out he did it wrong
People thought it was an ISIS attack
Lame!
m I know right? Turn out nobody died. What a pity. : (
Fail
Khadija Bangurah Yeah, I knew it! We needed more explosives! *facepalm*, am I right?
sounds like a fun idea . will it fizz or explode?
Wow this doesn't seem bad at all. I feel like im wasting my time because when I'm done with my college work I just go on my phone. I would love a hobby to do
WOW ~ THAT CHEAP TO MAKE ~ AND DUMMY ME HAVE BEEN STUPIDLY BUYING READY MADE AT VERY BIG COST ~ THANK YOU 💖👌🏾👏🏾!
this is what i was looking for thank you and great job
Thank you for making a very easy to follow video on this.
This is the best recipe I have found. Works a treat. Thank you.
I feel amazed I mad my own but it was not hard with you. Thank you so.....much!!!!!!
Thanks I can now enjoy my bath😊
I made a bath bomb for the first time using a recipe I found. It was 1 cup baking soda, 1 cup epsom salt, 1/2 cup corn starch; food coloring (for color), 3/4 tbsp water, 1 tbsp coconut oil, and 1/2 cup lemon juice. I didn’t add epsom salt (forgot to) and not enough lemon juice (for liquid). Mine fell apart. How do I measure out enough ingredients so that it doesn’t happen again or where did I go wrong, where the fell apart after they dried and taken out of the mold?
This is so cool I made some and I just made them with jello molds
I am making a business and this will inspire me
love your video. how many of the little round molds would the recipe fill?
This is such an amazing and interesting video, I'm used this to prep my ingredients as I am making them tomorrow so thank you for the support
Omg I love those I made a mint one that was green and it works as well as lush bath bombs xx
+Grace Thotnton Thank you Grace 😊
You are so nice for responding people and I love your videos they're incredibly awesome and they are so interesting hope to see more great job👍

+XCookiesX You're welcome 😊
;)
omg i totally want to do this!!!
Nicole Matthews You should, its really simple :)
I had to try this a couple of times for it to work but it did I am so happy
hello!
I love your recIpe for bath bombs.
I find very usefull that you used grams instead of cups, becouse in my country we don't use cups for measuring and it's difficult for me to convert everything.(i am a littlebit lazy for doing converting :D)
I used combination of lavender, bergamot and ylang ylan esential oils and it smells awesome!! i even added some dry lavender petals. I also used fine sea salt instead of Epsom salt.
I add even more oil and water becouse bombs were breaking all the time. So that way i succeeded.
YOUR RECIPE IS TOTALLY AWESOME I LOVE IT AND IS SO SIMPLE. I AM REALY GRATEFULL THAT YOU POSTED THIS VIDEO! I WATCH SO MANY OF THEM TRYING TO FIND THE SIMPLEST ONE AND THIS ONE WORKED FOR ME JUST FINE... NO, NOT JUST FINE IT WORKED AWESOOOOOME :D
THANK YOU AGAIN
JJ
