Polysorbate 80 is a huge no-no ingredient in the natural community. It opens the blood brain barrier. In fact, they use it specifically for that purpose with chemo drugs when treating brain tumor patients. It has concerning affects on the brain, even when absorbed through the skin. Is there an alternative ingredient you'd suggest? Or could we just leave it out?
I don't think our customers will be injecting bath bombs (they are not chemo) into their bodies under such a copious amount of water. Nor will they be ingesting it. The rate of usage is also appropriate. This concern seems a little alarmist. And there are actually no studies completed on such concerns on humans,, please direct us to the randomoized control studies you have found :) At this time, not convinced that is something one can generalize to bath bombs. :)

All bath bomb recipes are basically the same. It's a 2:1 ratio of sodium carbonate (baking soda) to citric acid, so for every 100g baking soda, you need 50g citric acid. Don't use water to mix the ingredients together or it will start fizzing, and you don't want that to happen till you drop it into your hot bath.
No because the witch hazel is used to help the mixture clump together so it doesn't crumble. Maybe you meant replacing the coconut oil? If so, yes you can 😊
It's an emulsifier that mixes oils and colorants into the water! It's not necessary for every bath bomb recipe, but is a nice addition if it contains oil, like this recipe does.
Oils are a great way to moisten bath bombs and add skin-loving properties. Start with about 0.5 ounces per pound. Some crafters use 99% isopropyl alcohol, but it can dry the bath bombs out, so they're more likely to crack. Try a combination of oil and alcohol to hold the mixture together. We don't recommend water, though!

Man this is why I stopped buying from this company I don’t buy kits I bought loose products and because you don’t buy the kit you can’t get the recipe as much money as I used to spend there cost a lot more than a damn kit
I know this is an old comment but for curious minds who see this tutorial and wonder the same thing... My understanding is that Polysorbate is an emulsifier, among other roles. Emulsifiers allow the mixing of water and oil that normally separate. I've made the mistake of not using Polysorbate 80 in a bath bomb recipe once. Once the bath bomb starts fizzing and releases the oils that most bath bombs tend to have in them, it leaves a nasty oil film on the top of the bath water, which can be dangerous as it can coat the sides and surfaces you'd normally use to climb out of the tub, leading to slips, falls and injury. Leaving an oily feeling on your skin isn't good either! It also makes cleanup a huge hassle because oil and water don't mix, you'll need to use some soap to clean off the residue and that just isn't fun for anyone. I believe polysorbate 80 also lends to foam production as well.
@@DarkusZarvix I totally agree. I researched it a little myself, and because of the safety issues you've just mentioned, I never make bath bombs without an emulsifying agent now.
Absolutely! We offer several varieties of Himalayan pink sea salt, if you'd like to try some out, we offer a sampler pack so you can try out all five types: www.brambleberry.com/shop-by-product/samplers/ingredients/pink-salt-sampler/V600035.html

If ingested or injected... maybe... - the studies reporting damaging effects had their limitations and were completed on teeny tiny mice - there haven't been enough studies on humans to draw that conclusion with bath bomb use really (like there was a descriptive report once on one woman who took a multivitamin with polysorbate 80 and had a reaction...so not applicable to bath bombs and we can't generalize that to the massive public or other products:). Yes, it's considered a slightly hazardous material when used directly on the skin but completely natural essential oils can be even more damaging when used directly on the skin. The amount of polysorbate in these recipes is small (yet appropriate) and a bather would be under such a copious amount of water so we assert that the risk of it being harmful is none to slight and not worth the criticism. Besides, it's optional, if you're not comfortable - you don't have to use it to make a decent bath bomb.:) oh, we even found it on the list in the handbook of green chemicals! :)
My wife and I just watched this together and we thouroughly enjoyed it

Polysorbate 80 is a no for me. So many unnecessary toxic ingredients in hygiene products.... And food! It's awful.
@@michaeldouglas8197 Testing on mice is plenty for me. We are made of around 60% water and our skin is our largest organ.

Are they good for skin ? Like citric acid and soda ????
Hi, Can you please share the measurements as well?
Thats what I’d like to know

@@waynewatson8036 Thank you. How about the wet ingredient?
@@litolprins I use coconut oil, for every pound of mixed dry ingredients, 1 to 1.5 oz of oil
wow i will definitely try this thx

Woooiw, it seems really great
I WILL try them soon
Can I reolace witch hazel with sunflower oil or olive oil?
No because the witch hazel is used to help the mixture clump together so it doesn't crumble. Maybe you meant replacing the coconut oil? If so, yes you can 😊
@@akinyanjufaradayhi! What could I use in replace of witch hazel? Also since it has water I'm it does it need a preservative?
Can I use a silicone mold?
Can i add beet root powder to this recipe to make the color pop more?
yes! great idea♥
I didn’t know I needed polysorbate for bath bombs
It's an emulsifier that mixes oils and colorants into the water! It's not necessary for every bath bomb recipe, but is a nice addition if it contains oil, like this recipe does.
So how much of each ingrediants do you use or just wing it?
What is the hazel spray you are using?
How do you store them for 1 week ?
Inspiring, can't wait to make it my self... but here we don't have "witch hazle" .. what else can I use?

@@bramble-berry
Great, I can use oleic acid then?
@kpop lover Rose water is likely to set off the fizzing reaction, so we would avoid using it.
@@emadshahin8397 We have not tested that in bath bombs. If you give it a try, we recommend a small test batch first.

Thanks a million, you are the best, that was really helpful.

Hello
Can I make a bath bomb using bath salts?
Witch hazel should be with or without alcohol??
Rose name?
Portions???
I may be wrong but isn't polysorbate 80 a synthetic compound therefore making this recipe not natural? I'm not trying to be rude just enquiring.
Yessss I squirmed watching them pour so much polysorbate 80 in 😳😳😳😳😭
What does the polysorbate 80 do?

@bramble-berry is your Himalayan salt tested for heavy metals?

Uhm… why dont you add measurements
Y U NO WRITE INGREDIENTS

You have to buy recipes book from them to know
I am not from US would have been good if u had mentioned quantity.
Citric acid is not natural Bramble berry 😑😒
Citric acid is made from black mold. 😢 and Himalayan salt has high lead & heavy metal content. 😢
I just came here for the music. I don't really care about the bath bomb things you're making. Just kidding of course
too much baking soda omg 🥶
this is not completely natural polysorbate 80 is actually kinda bad for you

How long can one keep for
We recommend using bath bombs within 6 months for the best results in your tub!
