I just want to say that, thanks to you and your comment on the Cooklee Mixer, I just bought one and it's due to arrive tomorrow!! Thanks for commenting on yours - exactly what I needed without breaking the bank. Your bathbombs came out super 😍 cute!! As a soap and bath product maker too, I thoroughly enjoy watching you make your products, so relaxing, fun and personable - very inspiring! Great job!!
I am so glad you decided to post a bath bomb video. I have been making my own at home and have been running into trouble with them crumbling and staying together. This video has been very informative for the ways I can improve my technique
That's great! I am glad it was helpful to you. Bath bombs are so finicky and are quite difficult to really get figured out. Even if I do and share the recipe, it's not guaranteed to work for someone else. It seems it is different for everyone due to humidity, ingredients used, etc.. I bought a 50 lb bag of Arm & Hammer Baking Soda and one would assume it's the same thing. Nope...I can't press a decent bath bomb for anything with it. It doesn't matter how much liquid I add, etc.. It just won't stay together. But I do see other more commercial makers using it and apparently work with it just fine.
I think you did awesome! I didn't even notice the wee bit of purple sticking out until I watched your video. I have been too busy sniffing the smell because it's amazeballs! After watching to the end, I think you did a fabulous job of demonstrating all of the work that goes in from start to finish on what it takes to create ONE product! Thanks for your generosity of sharing all the information. I was looking at the national shrinkwrap and after seeing you use it, it will be the next 'big' purchase!
Thank you Charli! It is quite a bit of work but it's fun too. I am so glad you are enjoying sniffing the bath bomb you purchased. It's such a delightful scent. The shrink wrap system is very handy!
Hi Holly, thank you so much for sharing this. I’d love to make these for my grandkids. Mines won’t be as beautiful as yours but they’ll still love them. You are an amazing person. God bless you 🙏🏻
LOVED your video, I’m going to try your recipe as soon as possible. May I ask where you got the glitter? And is the sprayer separate or does it come with the glitter in there already? Thx ever so much! This is the just video of yours that I’ve watched, so I’ll be subscribing and watching others real soon. I love your presentation skills, you’re a very good teacher and I thoroughly enjoy your banter! Take care, and stay safe!💕
Thank you! I think I was using bath bomb safe glitter from Mad Micas here. www.madmicas.com/products/bath-bomb-safe-fairy-duster-set?_pos=8&_sid=fe7a99aa2&_ss=r
I love that mixer!! I have 2 small kitchen aid mixers. One I bought at a yard sale and it’s older than me, and I’m 45, and that stinker is still going strong! I’m sure one of these days it’s going to leave me and I’ll need a new one.
Also: I made yellow bath bombs once and realized upon testing they definitely need imbeds to alter the color so it doesn’t look like you tinkled in your bath water 😳😂
That's fantastic! I have three Kitchen Aids. One I was given as a gift when I was leaving home. It was refurbished and it is still hanging in there. I have two 6 qt Kitchen Aids and have just never loved them. So when I bought the Cooklees, I just put the Kitchen Aids back in their boxes. Haha, yes, about the yellow bath bombs too. I was trying really hard to stay towards a creamy yellow. I know it's still going to look a hint weird in the tub. lol
Your bath bombs look lovely. Oh my gosh, I am literally waiting for Amazon to deliver my 9.5qt cooklee stand mixer! I'm just starting out and want to experiment. It is a very affordable option. Thanks for sharing your recipe and technique! Merry Christmas.
Oh how fun! I've already gotten more use out of my two than with the Kitchen Aids I have. If I fill them too full, they will shut down on their own. So far, that has only happened once. Merry Christmas to you and happy crafting!
Lovely Hun. This is the last chance I’ll get to wish you a wonderful Merry Xmas to you and yours Holly, thanks for all your efforts for 2021 I always look forward to your next video I love your content and chats. You make it so easy to be fond of you when you’re as nice as you are. Take care be safe see you next year. 🎄🎉🎅🧑🏼🎄💕🎁
Thank you! Merry Christmas to you as well. I'm so glad you've been a subscriber and consistent commenter for all of these years. You are appreciated for sure!
Hi Holly, these look so nice and they sound relaxing in the tub 😌. When weighing out essential oils, do you go by the total batch or the oils itself? Thank you 😊 💓.
I have not tried them yet but one of the soapers raves about the twist on caps that you flip the top up and it just drizzles out the fragrance without spilling. I’ve seen them on Amazon and I think wholesale plus. I’m gonna get some soon
Hey! Holly....absolutely 💯.! Now if you could set your mind to making one to mix with water for me to drink that would be fantastic!!! 🥰🤣. Thanks as ever. 💜
Hi Holly I was wondering if u knew the stick trick when pouring out fragrance hold up stick to mouth of jar and it will run down stick instead of spilling 😉 ur the best, I love watching. Happy new year
Is a batch # only required in the USA? Do we Canadians require a batch #? You have shown me a ton of techniques like no other. I have watched a gazillion videos as I have not yet started! Thank you so so much for your expertise!
Hello Holly, really love your video. I am a little curious, when you spray your soap with alcohol, what kind of alcohol are you spraying onto the soap please as you don't clarify what alcohol is in the bottle spray? Many thanks.
I usually just say a high percentage alcohol. I would vary between 91% and 99%. I often found I had better luck with 91% but many would argue that 99% is better.
I used to use milk powder in my bath bombs and I used a vanilla fragrance from a favorite supplier and I don't know if there was a bad reaction or what but within a few weeks the bath bombs was watery and moldy. Weird. I made several batches with other FO that day and that is the only one it ever happened with.
Hi Holly. Thanks for sharing this. Can I ask you a question? How much mica powder do you add in? Coz I try making at home about 8-10 bath bomb per batch. And I use half a tea spoon. And for some reason, the mica powder actually stain my bath tub. Making it so hard to clean. Is it because I throw in the mica in powder form? Or should I put it in water and dissolve it first before putting in?
Love the video, thank you for sharing. I don’t have a bath bomb press machine but I do have a 3-D donut mold and for some reason I can’t get it to work properly. It doesn’t hold together. It always split in the middle. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong HELP!!!!! 😂🤣😂
Thank you! Are you using one like from Cada Molds? From my understanding, you may need to have a little more oil in the mix. Make sure you tap the edges with a spoon to help it release. Every now and again, rub some baking soda in the mold and tap it out. That seems to help with some of the sticking.
I love your videos :) How do you manage to use water in a recipe and not start the reaction of citric acid with water in a bomb? I even react to 95% alcohol, because it contains 5% water :)
Thank you! I am using very little water to the ratio of the final product. The baking soda at first has just a very slight moisture content but it's still dry...if that makes sense. I do want it to react just the tiniest bit because that helps it to get harder and they ship better that way. By adding the citric acid last, I have very little reaction. If I have to add some spritzes of alcohol, it will sometimes fizz just the tiniest bit but it blends in fast with the mixer without any negative results.
Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate is a sulfate free surfactant. It is derived from coconut and palm and is gentle and mild. It is Eco Certified. It is what creates the foam and then the fluffy bubbles. Be sure to check out the video description for more info.

OMG you need to create a scratch & sniff screen! Lol 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Wouldn't that be awesome! I'd make a fortune! lol
Holly I have used many of your bath bombs and this one looks sooo creamy in the water. Love it

Love your videos. You are inspirational. Thanks for the toothpick technique. 🙏🏽
Wow, your bath numbs are amazing! They really fizz for a long time! They look so luxurious!
Thank you! These ones lasted around 12 minutes. It was fantastic!

Thank you Maria!
Sooo satisfying to watch you work with the proper tools 🤩🤩🤩! Wish I was closer to buy your wonderful products (living in Québec, Canada)💙💙💙!!!
Thank you!
They look beautiful Holly, you are so talented. Merry Christmas to you and your family and all the best for a safe holiday. 🎄🦌⛄🎅
Thank you! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season!

i watched a video from royalty soaps and just had to come! no regrets
Thank you!
These look scrumptious! 😍
Thank you!
I place my bombs directly under running water. Yes, your bombs make massive bubbles. I love them!
That's fantastic! Thank you Tessie!

Thank you so much!
This was an amazing video with the step by step process.. thank you for showing us ❤️
Thank you Denise!
Love watching your videos. Especially your old ones but they disappeared on me today. Everything you make is gorgeous and your videos relax me
Thank you Melissa. I'm doing some tidying up of the older videos. I hope to add most back on.
@@moriversoap Thank you Holly, love seeing how far you have come. I'm currently 4 years back, catching up quickly
My feet are crying out to soak in that creamy silky water!!!! 😍🦶🦶
I've been thinking about making some foot bombs!
@@moriversoap Awesome!!! Feels so good to soak them in goodness! 😁
Hello Holly 🥰 What a wonderful video to wake up to! I can't wait to watch this while waiting for my body wake up..lol🤗
Thank you! I hope you enjoyed it!

So great! I still have not mastered the drizzle
These turned out so cute 😍

Happy Holidays to you too Ingrid!
Hi Holly, these look so nice and they sound relaxing in the tub 😌. When weighing out essential oils, do you go by the total batch or the oils itself? Thank you 😊 💓.
Thank you! I am guessing your question is for cold process soap. I figure the essential oils based on the oil amount.
I have not tried them yet but one of the soapers raves about the twist on caps that you flip the top up and it just drizzles out the fragrance without spilling. I’ve seen them on Amazon and I think wholesale plus. I’m gonna get some soon
That would work great I'd think. I did end up using the bottles with other batches and it was so much easier...except for the cleaning.
Hey! Holly....absolutely 💯.! Now if you could set your mind to making one to mix with water for me to drink that would be fantastic!!! 🥰🤣. Thanks as ever. 💜
Thank you Sarah!
Your bath bombs are always so lovely Holly!! 😍 💞
Thank you Nancy!

Thank you Caroline! Happy New Year! Yeah, I put a note on the video that I should have used a chopstick. 😉

Thank you Jacquie! I don't know about Canada but maybe you will be able to get your answer from someone here or in a FB group maybe.

23:04 ngl totally thought it was white chocolate at first LOL
Haha, it does look pretty much the same. I'll be using some today to make dipped pretzels. LOL

That is definitely weird!
I would like to know where I can buy your products
Hello. My business is closed now. Be sure to check out the video description for all sorts of fun info.
Hi Holly. Thanks for sharing this. Can I ask you a question? How much mica powder do you add in? Coz I try making at home about 8-10 bath bomb per batch. And I use half a tea spoon.

Or should I put it in water and dissolve it first before putting in?
Thank you! Did you use Polysorbate 80 so that the mica disperses in water? I don't tend to have troubles with the smaller amounts of mica.
Love the video, thank you for sharing. I don’t have a bath bomb press machine but I do have a 3-D donut mold and for some reason I can’t get it to work properly. It doesn’t hold together. It always split in the middle. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong HELP!!!!! 😂🤣😂

@@moriversoap thank you, I will try the baking soda idea 💡. Sorry forgot to say your donuts 🍩 look amazing
That happens to me also! I’ll try more oil
Looks wonderful.

Was really loving your whipped sugar scrubs videos, but the came up gone.
Thank you. The suppliers keep changing usage info and I just can't trust that people will look to the description for updated information.
