Have you always wanted to try to make your own bath bombs but don't know where to start? Look no further. This is a bare bones, basic introduction to making bath bombs at home.
Thank you for showing us how to make Bath Bombs. The recipe is short and looks easy. I'm gonna try to make bath bombs soon.
Hi Lissa, thank you for this video. I purchased several bath bombs from you recently and happy that you have these videos showing how to use the bath bombs and how to make bath bombs. You are a fantastic teacher. I will try making a bath bomb either later on today or tomorrow. I’m excited.❤
@@juliebissat3036 thank you Julie. Reach out any time if you need further help
Thanks for sharing new to your channel.
Hello! New subscriber here! I'm a year late too. Thank you so much for making this video and explaining everything. Haven't tried it yet. I want to learn as much as I can before I try it.
@@annettefisher7173 welcome
Thank you so much!! I'm a year later but appreciate your teaching. I have not try to make bath bombs yet too daring for me!! Let me see if I find the courage soon!! Thank you again ❤
Hello hope your well. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe with us all. And for giving us the breakdown of the bathbombs So many people don't like to share. Have a wonderful day 😊
I've been watching your channel as well and I'm happy to see that you're a "sharer" too. It's we ALL should be doing to give back. We needed help at some point, why shouldn't we help others? At least that's how I feel. Thanks for stopping by and Happy New Year.
This is the first tutorial that made me grab a pen and paper. ..lots of gems in one video. Thank you ..
You're welcome. I'm approaching this series from the viewpoint of when I first started and didn't know diddly squat or where to start. Very basic, and then we can all build on that. Even just the terminology sometimes is confusing to new makers. Welcome, hope you stick around for more.
Thank you so much for this. Been going mad for the last 3 days for the perfect recipe and I just got one! Wow! Big thanks from India!
You’re welcome
This was amazing. Love the explanation and demo. Thank-you 💕💕
Lori, you’re such a kind person and I appreciate you oh so much. Thanks for being here.
I can always count on you Lori. 🥰
@@TheSoapChef2 ALWAYS my friend always💕
Thank you for sharing, it’s much appreciated.
Thanks for watching, much more to come
You are AMAZING! thank you for being so generous with your knowledge!
My pleasure
I’m in the process of getting started so I’m trying to find and try a lot of recipes to see what works best for the type of bomb I’m looking for. I know I want the foam that the slsa produces. But this seems like a great start.
SLSA is coming, hang tight. Welcome, thanks for watching.
You're a great teacher. I've seen other recipes for bath bombs, but I haven't seen anyone else explain what each ingredient does. Question: I want to make fun little bath bombs for my little granddaughter, and I'm thinking of putting a drop or two of water-soluble dye in the middle just to color the water. I don't want the oil. Will a bath bomb hold together without the oil? Can I just use witch hazel to bind it and leave the oil out? Also, if I use water-soluble dye and no oil, do I need the polysorbate 80?
I would hesitate to put a drop of water in the middle of the BathBomb only because it may start the chemical reaction of the citric acid and baking soda. As for some type of oil or butter, I would highly suggest it, otherwise, all you have is baking soda and citric acid, which would be extremely harsh on the skin.
@@TheSoapChef2 Thanks so much for your advice. I'm going to use your video to guide me through my first batch. Wish me luck!
Great teacher!
Thank you
Your explanation of each ingredient and its reaction alone and mixed is AWESOME!! Thank you for going into detail! My question is instead of using Polysorbate 80, could I use the Polysorbate 20? Thats what I have on hand! Again, thank you so much for your explanation and detailed info!
You’re welcome. The PS80 is used as an emulsifier with the butters/oils mixing w/the water but also so your colorants don’t stick to the side of the tub. Try the PS20 and see how that goes.
@@TheSoapChef2 thank you again!
@@hollythomas773 anytime
Ty so much
My pleasure
Can we use soap or body wash instead of polysorbate?
@@aayushishukla8406 polysorbate is needed to solubilize the butters into the water but also because of the lake colorants. If you are using water soluble dyes, they will mix into the water without a solubilizer. However, when there are oils or butters in the water, it’s a slip/fall hazard. Thats why we need the polysorbate.
I've been watching your videos for the last week and just finished one other where you say don't use corn starch? But here you are using it? I've leaned a lot from you and really appreciate your expert advise but now I'm confused.
I try really hard to not draw a hard, fast line of what you should, or shouldn’t do because that’s the beauty of creating. I personally do not use cornstarch in my recipe, and would not because it adds no value in my personal opinion. And if you ask 10 other soap makers or bath bomb creators, they will give you 10 different answers. It’s a personal preference, that’s all. In this particular video, I am giving you a bare bones, basic bath bomb recipe that you can Grab Items from your grocery store. Try it and see if it works for you. A lot of makers use cornstarch and they love it. I don’t. Again, personal preference, that’s all.
Hello thank you for this video love it.question what can you use in place of polysorbate??? Thank you
You're welcome. The polysorbate is used as an emulsifier to combine water with oil since they don't mix. It also acts as a light cleanser to make clean up of your bath bomb colorants on the tub, a breeze......there should be very little to no residue left on the tub walls. Some people have subbed the PS80 for Red Turkey Oil (sulfated castor oil) however, in my experience, that's way too heavy of an oil and does stick to the sides of the tub.
@@TheSoapChef2 wow thank you for getting back to me trying to make asap.where you get your polysorbate from please? Um Walmart has it u know thank you stay blessed.sibscribed already after video so ttys
@@LitaJones. i buy mine from soap suppliers and/or Amazon
@@TheSoapChef2 thank you so much for all your quick response and help advice etc stay blessed have a wonderful day
Can I use polysorbate 20 in my bath bomb instead of 80?
We have never tested our bath products using PS20. They are both solubizers. PS80 is used mostly in products that have more of an oil/butter phase, which bath bombs are not. However, the PS80 is what really helps to eliminate the ring around the tub from ingredients, most specifically, the colorants used in the bath product.
