Tracey Jackson did you manage to find the product? It is blue number 1. It only let's me see part of your original message, which I think you may have now edited? Does that mean you sorted your query? If not pop me another message and I'll help where I can x
Hi there like how you done this mix so are you just adding colour to just the baking soda at the start hen I see what you are doing at the end do you spray water before you but citric acid or after to get it to the mix for moulding thanks
Hi, yes I add the colour to the just the bicarb and the oils, then the last thing I add is the citric, if it isn't quite wet enough I give a tiny spray after the citric is mixed in :)
If you've bloomed it and left it to dry, and then adding dry ingredients only.....then this won't have anything to bind those ingredients together as a bath bomb. You need some liquids in there. Water creates the activation that causes the bicarb and citric to react and set really hard. Isopropyl alcohol and Witch hazel do work as a binder, but tend to dry out too fast and leave powdery bombs in my own experience. I don't bloom and then leave to dry. I control my water content carefully according to weather/humidity and make my mix in one go.
You have mixed up your bloomed and non bloomed when you showed the bombs as example... But this was a good video to explain the difference, much thanks :)
question: I ordered powdered dye from Nurture Soaps, and while the dye load is AMAZING, it stained my fingers like CRAZY when i accidentally splashed it on me. Is this where Poly80 is recommended, will that help prevent skin staining? I don't want to sell products that are gonna leave my customers blue! :) Thanks!
If they are water soluable colourants then you shouldn't need poly 80. Poly 80 is good when you have micas or things that are oil soluable, it also works to stop oil from sitting on the top of the bath water.
Maris Rios you can find these colours at www.eazycolours.co.uk they also have outlets through various official agents throughout other parts of the world. There is also a Facebook support group Facebook.com/groups/eazycoloursandmore
DruidandtheWitch ahh good I’ll look forward to it. Lol I struggle with gettin my words out on camera I thought it was funny when you said that but you did great x
You mix the bicarb with colour and water and leave it to dry. So basically your bicarb is then precoloured before you make your batch. Eazy colours are water soluable, so people in hig humidity areas like to leave out as much water as possible. Blooming and leaving to dry means for them that they have less risk of mix activation. :)
Gloves are a MUST! I’ll have to check out these EazyColors.
This was a great video! I agree about the water. Totally changes the game. Rock hard everytime

How can you Not have a humidity problem in the UK? In London it's almost always 70...
This is a great video and so informative....Thank you
If I was too add Epsom salts and what stage would you recommend to add them
I'm.so sorry I didn't see these comments! I would add them before adding the citric acid.
Wondering how you can bloom a mica for bath bombs.
Im in the uk, so do i not need to leave the mix overnight after adding colour to the bi carb
No you can use it straight away
Tis was so much help for me thank u
I’ve just bought loads of these colours. What is meant by bloomed?
Sometimes people add the colour to bicarb, wet it to bloom the colour into the bicarb, then they leave it to dry before using it in the mix.
Great tutorial. Very helpful. What recipe are you using?
This is my own recipe :)
What do you mean by bloom?
Great video, thank you very much :)

Ok, I do have a queston does the Witchhazel colour fade, it is unclear at the end?
Hello! I have a question: Do the other dry ingredients mix well with the bloomed baking soda?
If you've bloomed it and left it to dry, and then adding dry ingredients only.....then this won't have anything to bind those ingredients together as a bath bomb. You need some liquids in there. Water creates the activation that causes the bicarb and citric to react and set really hard.

I control my water content carefully according to weather/humidity and make my mix in one go.
Is this possible with any water soluble dyes or easycolours only? Thanks for the video!
Possible with all water soluables :)
You have mixed up your bloomed and non bloomed when you showed the bombs as example... But this was a good video to explain the difference, much thanks :)
I am confused. Sorry, which method allowed the bath bomb to maintain its vibrancy? Bloomed or not bloomed? Thank you
I fund that non bloomed is more vibrant personally:)
Great Video!! Thank you!! :)
