I spent 6 months trying MANY bath bomb recipes and they came out okay, but never good enough to sell! I tried this one last week and it is AWESOME! they came out exactly as I hoped they would! thanks SO much for sharing your recipe Dean!!!
Awesome Katia. Glad it has worked for you :)
@@DeanWilson Hello! I have a question. I'm making a Bath bomb to soak foot and relief pain. In my country I can't find the SLSA ingredient. it's neccesary if I don't need a lot of bubbles. or do you have a recipe for Soak foot bath bombs? Thank you
This is the best bath bomb recipe ever. I've made it several times and have never had a problem with it. Even the first time I made them they came out great. No adjustments were needed. I followed Dean's instructions meticulously.
V Samuels awesome. great to hear
Making lots of goodies for my family (candles, lip balms, etc) and they're asking for bombs and steamers. I heard that you have the best bath bomb recipe and it seems like it, hands down. Can't wait to try it! I've been looking for a great shower steamer recipe and none have come close to the care and technical detail or your recipes. What would you recommend we change for this bath bomb recipe to make a good shower steamer? In my personal "arsenal" I've got everything but SLSA, but would love to hear what you would do differently with steamers =)
Dean I want to thank you for providing your recipe! I subbed 50% avocado oil and 50% cocoa butter for the almond oil and it worked so very well! The bombs float, spin and produce some nice frothy bubbles and great fizz. It's not too greasy...just enough to be moisturizing. The scent amount is spot on too. Thanks a bunch for sharing this!
Awesome Cara. Happy it has worked for you :)
This video by far was the most informative, and easy to follow. You get right to the point without all of the unnecessary commentary!!
Thank you :)
Thank you! I just started making bath bombs. They are not easy to master! but I think I have them down. never heard of SLSA, sounds like a great product! Will try it out. Thank you again!
This recipe is fantastic, thank you for sharing. I used in silicone, hard plastic and Cada molds. Everything turned out great.
You are so welcome!
This is a great video and your bombs are lovely!!! A suggestion for those having a difficult time molding i.e. too dry or too wet of mixture. I add my wet ingredients first but I don't add alcohol or water. I mix the dry and the wet ingredients, then I spray with alcohol to make the mixture just moist enough to be able to squeeze the mixture in my hand until it is like damp sand. I mold with stainless steel molds, tap, tap, tap, and they come out easily. Depending on your climate you may need more or less liquid. I live in FL so my ingredients aren't as dry as they would be elsewhere. I think that trips a lot of people up. In other words, it's a dance of balance between the wet and dry ingredients. You may have to adjust the liquids slightly for your climate. I hope this helps! ♡
Thank you for the tip Cherie. That is awesome it's worked for you.
Thanks for the tip , helps tremendously !
Hi Dean 🤗 they turned out really nice 👍
Hey Dean! Lindsay again, just was wondering if you could do a video of what one if your bath bombs looks like in use. How the colors come through, how many bubbles and what the water looks like!
Hi Lindsay, I uploaded a video of Strawberry bath bomb, it's the same recipe. Check it out here.
czcams.com/video/TBgr9XTzx0U/video.html
Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe. You are a great instructor Dean! I just made my first batch and they turned out beautiful! You are an artist
thank you so much for the recipe i made some bathbombs today and they work great....😊🤘
First I want to say THANK YOU vary much! You’re the only person I could find on CZcams that shares the measurements to the ingredients. I had no idea where to begging. What mold and size do you use? And where can I find it? Thank you kindly.
Your welcome. The mold size is 60cm, stainless steel.
I got them from aussiesoapsupplies.com.au but they are currently closed because of a fire in their warehouse.
Dean. Thank you so much for this recipe! I was really struggling making BB. This recipe works great for me here in FL.
Awesome to hear. Thank you :)
Dean I love watching your videos! Instead of using SLSA to make the bubbles could you add a little bit of liquid bubble bath or Castile soap to the wet ingredients?
I have tried to add bubble bath to my bath bombs but because its more a liquid it does not merge into the power, it just makes the bath bomb wet and it doesn't not stick together. I don't know about castile soap but i think it would be the same. I think from memory, butter milk powder might be an option but look it up first as I have never tried it.
I got a good tip from someone i dont remember who but they said that they mix all the wet ingredients in with the baking soda then add the measured citric acid to prevent a reaction because everything is already absorbed in the baking soda.
Yes, I have seen this too. czcams.com/video/7b4Tp4U1bTg/video.html
Awesome idea ! Cheers
Thank you, Dean, for this wonderful formula. I struggled for a while with bath bombs. I made two batches now and they came out wonderfully. (Had to add a little extra IPA though.
Now it is a waiting game to see how they stand the test of time!
Awesome work. Please let me know how they go.
Hi dean, I'm been trying difrent recipe with little success. This looks might be what I'm looking for. Can you please show how your bath bombs react when drop in tub. Thank and congrats in your channel.
Thanks Kathy, Im going to make a new video on this soon, but here is the latest text bath bomb video.
czcams.com/video/TBgr9XTzx0U/video.html
Finally made some bath bombs with your recipe and they are absolutely perfect. Fizzy, foamy, tons of bubbles!!!
Nice work, glad the recipe worked for you :)
Amazing video, thanks for sharing!! What about if I don't have polysorbare?
Polysorbate-80 helps the mica and oils not stick to the surface or bath tub. You can use soap friendly liquid dye if you dont have it.
Dean Wilson thanks a million for the quick response, I wasn't expecting one at all to be honest, coz most people don't reply! So if I skipped it, it won't effect the final texture of the bath bombs?
Nope, should be fine.
راكي هنا سوما هههه هادا وين كنت نشوف فالفيديو ديالك جيت هنا لقيتك هههه
Dean I just had to come back to tell you that I made the bath bombs tonight using your recipe & they worked perfectly. It’s the first time I’ve managed to get them to hold their shape. I’ve tried a few recipes from USA & UK but this is the only one that worked. Wish I could attach a photo to this comment to show you! Thank you!!!!
That is awesome Lisa. Im very happy my recipe has worked for you.
You could sent me an email. dean@sentinelsoap.com.au
Dean Wilson that’s great. I’ll send you a pic! Thanks again for your help.
Got it. Thanks Lisa and great work. :)
I'm going to invest in kaolin clay for hard bombs. Thanks
It works great! I get mine from Wholesale Supplies Plus.com. It’s only $1.95 a pound!! And all their products are the best quality! Great prices on everything!
Hello Dean! I've been watching your videos for a little while and admire your work. I really want to thank you on some items with your bath bomb tutorial. 1 - I truly appreciate the time you took with this recipe. I have used several and could not get them to work as my material was too wet or too dry. Just a chore to deal with. I found that yours was easy to work with and I was able to make 7 medium bombs.
2- I appreciate the time that you took to convert this recipe to US Customary table. I had no issue with the fractions and am grateful for the time you took to convert it!
Thanks and I'll keep watching.
Robin. Alexandria VA USA
Awesome Robin, that is so nice of you. I'm glad the recipe works for you. Enjoy :)
I love how these bombs began to get hard in minutes.
Tessie Dobey
Yea. Very 'hard'.
Absolutely love this recipe, it is perfect. Tried so many different recipes and then I stumbled on yours and I will never use another one. This recipe makes the perfect bath bombs, the mixture sticks together and doesn't give any problems unmolding. Makes bath bombs that float and spin and make a beautiful fizz. Thank you so much
Thanks Amy, I am so glad the recipe has worked for you. Take care.
AMAZING WORK!
I'm finding it really difficult to get SLSA powder. Is there anything you can suggest using instead of SLSA? :)
BULLTERRIER 65, Brambleberry has it! They have just about everything!😊
Goats milk?
Hi Dean .. good day! and discovered what my problem with the pump. Citric acid GRANULADO I have is .. not a fine powder such as talc. thank you very much for your answers and tutorials !! greetings from Buenos Aires. Argentina.
Glad you found the problem. :)
u make it look so easy i cant make them for nothing lol
Keep trying, you will get there Tracey :)
Dean! I finally made your recipe after struggling with on-again, off-again, success. Yay! It works beautifully - thank you so much for generosity in sharing your how-tos and recipes!
Good to hear :) Well done
Do you need the clay? And how long do these bath bombs stay good for selling for?
Clay is optional but helps them harden. About 12 months.
Thank you!
I love your video,thanks a lot,veronica
Thank you
Brilliant Dean xx
Thank You :)
Tried and failed to make bath bombs so came over to your channel Dean (since your soap videos are awesome). I’m so glad I found a bath bomb recipe. I’m excited to try them !
Awesome, please let me know how you go Lisa.
I'm having a hard time figuring out GRAMS! I'm used to ounces. Sorry I'm a blonde Brunette? 🤦🏻♀️
You can use google to convert it over. Search "convert 100 grams to oz" and it will display it.
Your scale has a button called “units”... it toggles between the two.
I could watch and listen to you all day! Thanks for the great video!
Thank you Amy, very nice of you. :)
Miss your videos hope all is well
Im getting there. Sorry its been a while. I will be back once all is done here and I will explain why I have been away so long.
O no you don't have to explain I just hope all is well and I look toward to your next video when your back
I made your last bath bomb recipe. I gifted to friends on special occasions and they love them. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome, thanks :)
I just tried out this recipe today. Absolutely wonderful. So easy to make, gorgeous bubble and fizz. These were perfect. Thank you so much!
Awesome, glad they worked for you :)
Hi Dean! Hope you're doing well! Miss seeing you on YT🥺 I thought I had watched all of your videos and then this one popped up today while I searched bath bombs and I was shocked lol like I said, thought I had watched them all❤ happy to know I have more to watch from you!
Thanks Holly, im doing good. Writing kids books these days. But will put up a soap related video this week hopefully.
This recipe sets very hard, very quickly Dean... my only issue is that I don't have enough moulds to leave them sitting inside half of one to dry and when I placed them on foam with cling film over it, they still went slightly flat (or more misshapen) at the bottom. No other complaints about them though... fastest drying recipe I have ever sampled :D
I started to put cling film over muffin trays and place the bath bombs on that. They bend to the shape of the cling so they dont distort.
thanks Dean, I will give it a go :)
Tried that and it worked wonders.... they were totally set like rocks within an hour or 2 tops! Fantastic recipe Dean :D Thanks again xx
thanks for the great recipe and method. I was having trouble with my bombs this year. Now they are looking nice.
Awesome. :)
Awe Dean.... You can do anything. You should try. I bet they would be gorgeous cupcakes!
Your videos are so informative. I've been nervous to attempt bath bombs. I didn't feel nervous about it now. Thank you.
Thats so good. Thank you. Give them a shot. Worst thing that could go wrong and you can still turn them into bath bomb powder (my other video).
Straight to the point...luv it
its amazing how you took them out and they didnt crumble
I haven't tried it yet, but after hours of looking for bath bomb recipes, you've got me convinced! I'm just wondering how these feel on the skin? I used a lush bath bomb not too long ago and they made my skin super silky.
Its really lovely on your skin. Lots of nice skin properties.
Thanks for the recipe. What can I use instead of SLS it get everywhere and I put on a mask 😷 and I cough?
You dont need to use it. If you choose to, maybe reduce it by half or a 1/4.
Thanks Dean for a great tutorial and making us look good too. Your videos are easy to follow and we thank you.
Very pretty ! Clear instructions and very good techniques love it 🙂
Thank you, I had thee worst bath bomb day ever!!! They didn't adhere together at all so I think I'm going to try your recipe tonight since I have everything out already.
Cool, please let me know how you go :)
Can I add ground up oats?
I have never tried. If you do, test it for yourself before selling it.
Love your videos. Easy to follow & to the point that I actually don't lose interest. Made my 1st bath bombs tonight with this recipe. They look and smell amazing. Abit humid here in WA but I think they will be fine in the container. Thanks Dean. :)
Awesome, thanks so much :)
Dean you are absolutely the best. I order all the ingredients and made the bombs and they cane out perfect. THANK you THANK you THANK you :-)
Awesome Noemi :)
Thank you
Congrats Dean on your over 50,000 subscribers, that's awesome! A reflection of you for sure!! Question for you on this recipe, I do not have any SLSA on hand, is it an optional ingredient? How does it effect the recipe without it?
Thanks so much. Yes its 100% optional. You dont need it at all but it does add more foaming to the bath bomb.
Dean, thank you for sharing.
I love your video thank you. Your technique is different than other ones i have watched. It seems dry and powdery but holds togehter so well. Most other instructions tell you to spritz until the mixture holds its shape. Could you explain this please?
That is true, you should spritz and mix until it holds solid in your hand.
You convinced me to make these lol, I ordered my stuff and hopefully i can make them this weekend :)
Thank you for sharing your recipe
Hello from Corpus Christi TX USA!! I am trying your recipe today! I’ll let you know how they turn out! Love your channel!! Tamara
Hope you enjoy
Dean Wilson They turned out fantastic! I colored them with white shimmer, gold and orange Micas! And scented them with white nectarine and pink coral from Lonestar candle supply company. And I hid some blue and pink fizzy embeds in them. I topped them with pink Himalayan salt.
Wow, sounds amazing. Well done.
Dean Wilson thank you so much!!
Hi Dean, I've tried your recipe twice now and I can't seem to get them to harden. The only difference I did was using avocado in place of the almond. I don't know how hard to pack. Although they seem to float, I don't know if the reason is that I need a harder packing? The recipe is really nice! I used Irene of Body BonBon's mold and they look awesome. I also did put them into the container as you do. Any help would be great. I only make them for myself and my kids, and really appreciate all your hard work and the opportunity of the recipe!
Dean, thanks for the tutorial and the recipe. Can you please demonstrate the fizz and foam of these bath bombs?
I would but I have not made bath bombs since I closed my shop back in November 2015. I will start making them again once I move this year.
Amazing video. May I ask if I can use 99.9% alcohol? or 70% ? I am not sure what alcohol did you use in the video. Thank you
I use 65% alcohol. So anything about that should be fine.
Hi Dean...your video is so easy to follow. I have but a couple of questions.
1. The ingredients you stated in your recipe, is there substitute for a more common product?
2. Is there a reason why you put the SLSA last as you mentioned that it could make one cough if inhaled. Why not place the SLSA first and be covered by the baking soda, Epsom Salt, citric acid..etc...?
Thanks Rena.
1. I don't know of any ingredients to sub for what I used, Critic acid, baking soda etc needs to be used.
2. You can use either way. Just my process. :)
Hi .. thanks alot for sharing this wonderful recipe, I was wondering why you cover it at the end inside the box .. I think it must dry well before! I am right??
Lots of moisture in the area where I use to make them.
Hi Dean it's mind blowing recipe thnks to guide me,, can u plz tell me what is the shelf life of this bathbomb, and how to pack for sale
I would say about 1 year. I use 150mm x 100mm plastic bags to pack my bath bombs.
You can find that video here
czcams.com/video/fn-JuGiqzF8/video.html
Thnks Dean..
I will try your recipe once I have all the ingredients, many thanks for your informative video xx
Can I ask why you use rubbing alcohol please? I'm a newbie at this and want to understand everything I'm doing. This is the best video I've seen on "how to do" by far! Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you. I have tried water and witch hazel but they both seem to activate the powders so rubbing alcohol is my preferred option for binding the powders together.
I hope mine turn out as nice as yours. I just made my first batch fingers crossed.
Awesome, please let me know how you go.
@@DeanWilson Sure will so far they are hardening great thanks for all you videos they really help a new soaper like me.
Thanks for all the great videos! Very helpful.
Awesome, thanks for such a prompt reply. I think you are the only one that replies so fast thanks. One more question. Do you think corn starch would work as well as kaolin clay for hardening?
Thank you. When I used corn starch I found it dried the bath bombs and made them crumble. But give it a try because thats the best way to really know. Maybe I did something wrong.
Great information and video instructions.
Very nice i wish I had a bath tub to try these!😕
Can i use water instead of alcohol? And do i need to add polysorbate 80 if i make just pure white bath bombs without colorants? Thank you for your help 😊
If you use a fragrance or mica its worth adding the polysorbate-80 as it helps disperse the oils. If its just for yourself then try without and test test test. I personally would not use water as it activates the mix.
Really good video with all the info! thank you so much!
Thank you!
Trying this tomorrow Dean so fingers crossed for a good result , love your soaps to :)
Thanks Jo, you will do fine. :)
Thank you for the recipe. It's finally what I have been looking for. They turned out great. They are soft. I see why it takes two days. My questions is, what alcohol percentage did you use? They sell it in 50%, 70% etc. Thank you.
Im not 100% sure. The website says 100% Alcohol but I think its more like 91%
oh okay. I used 50% on the first batch and I just finished my second batch using 70%. I almost bought 91%. Next time. Thank you!!!! Love your video's.
I used Witch Hazel last night, seemed too moist. They're still currently drying, haven't had a chance to toss them in a tub yet. I picked up some 70% that I'm going to be trying today. Excited! So far this is the best recipe I've found and I like the yield as well!
Hi love this video.where do u suggest drying them in a cold uk in January.
In a sealed box away from moisture in the air
Many thanks I'm very grateful 🙏. God bless you.
I just had a thought. With almond oil I will have to be careful with my friends who have but allergies. Can you suggest another oil that will substitute well. Thanks Dean
Nut*
You can use almost any oil you like, I chose sweet almond oil because its a thick oil, unlike olive oil or sunflower. You could try coconut oil.
Excellent! Thanks for the detailed information, Dean. Your information was very helpful.
This video is so informative, sorry to ask one off topic question, do you have any videos about how to mix essential oils with water, I don't understand that sorbate 80, it will be so helpful for(a detailed video) people like me,who are stepping into SOAP world, thank you so much
Hi, I don't use essential oils for anything. The fragrances I use are skin safe (soap). Polysorbate-80 will help disperse the oils in the water, along with the mica is any.
@@DeanWilson thank you so much
Thank you so much Dean. I love it
thank you for the torturial i will definetly give it a try😊
Thanks that's good to know. If you make cupcake bath bombs Do you let them harden before adding frosting? Thanks
Hi, I have never made cupcake bath bombs before or frosting. :( sorry
Hey Dean.. just wondering if i could use bentonite clay instead of kaolin clay?? Thanks..
Im not sure, sorry, I don't have the answer for that one.
Hi Dean thank you for sharing! Question. You don’t include any cream of tartar nor cornstarch in your recipe?
Am just double checking that I didn’t miss anything, it must be the clay that binds everything so well. Correct? Thank you again for a great recipe, can’t wait to try it! -Momo
Hi Mary, when I tried to make them with cornstarch they fell apart and felt too powdery. So i left them out. If you want to add some, run some small batch tests first.
That is almost exactly like the recipe I made for my bombs except I use coconut oil (my customers seem to perfer it over other oils) and instead of epsom salt which makes my bombs sink i recently swapped it for arrowroot powder
Awesome. Im happy you found a recipe that works for you. I have always said to viewers that they might need to tweak it to their liking, so thats a good thing.
Dean Wilson out of all the things i make including cold process soap bath bombs are my favorite to make! They are easy and there are so so SO many different ways of making them, as long as you at least use citric acid and baking soda that is!
@@wifeoftheparty9839 So true :)
wow beautiful. I have a question : why do you place them in a plastic container? they won't dry in it????
It's very cold were I am most of the year and cold creates water in the air and they get effected by this, so inside the box they just go hard.
I am excited to try your recipe. I finally have all the ingredients and it is raining today. I have heard that it isn't good to make them when it rains. Your bombs seem to be harder then the other recipes out there. Have you had problems with rain/ humidity? I hope I don't have to wait for a dry day because that could be months. :/
I never make them in the rain, too much cold air and water in the air which can set off the bombs on the surface. You can try it but I would quickly pack them into a sealed plastic air tight box like the one at the end of my video and sit them in a dark place for a few days. Im sure you will be fine.
I made using ur recipe but why it’s brittle when dry.
Hi Dean! I have been doing your recipe several times and I love it, but today I had a hard time, and the 1 inch mold did not work at all.I am in Oregon USA, and today the humidity is 35%, do you think that is the reason? I spray a little of alcohol (didn't have witch Hazel) and at least I put together the bigger size successfully ...I wonder if you know how much it would be the perfect humidity for your recipe (that I love!) thanks for always sharing your knowledge with us beginners :)
Great recipe and easy to follow. I just wanted to know, could leave it as a loose powder version and can I use an essential oil?
You can crush it down to powder once it sets. That is fine. I have not used essential oils before.
Can we use beetroot powder instead of Mica, because I don't have mica. And can I use olive oil or sunflower oil instead of almond oil and which one is best substitute? Please help. Prajakta from India
I am sorry I dont know the answer to those questions. I would assume beetroot powder is skin safe? I have never used it.
Not sure about olive oil or sunflower oil as they are thin oils while sweet almond oil is thicker.
@@DeanWilson oh ok Dean , no worries. Thank you for your reply ☺☺
Thank you for the great video as always. Does the Mica Powder leave any residue in the bathtub? Can I use 15 gm of water instead of alcohol?
i didn't have any stain in my tub after 4 hours but tubs are made differently. testing is needed. water will activate the dry mix if tipped in. you could try spraying water with spritz bottle but but see what its like before adding water.
Excelente
Is the purpose of placing the finished bombs in the tupperware to protect the bombs from moisture in the air?
Yes, specially at my house because it gets cold at night and lots of moisture in the house. But try without it and see what happens.
I see that you leave half mold in while drying...I was wondering if it would be "safe" leaving them to dry without the half mold?? I only have 2 molds...Thanks for your video! I will follow it exactly as you teach it.
I found that without the bottom mold they flatter out, but give it a try.
mine used to flatten out to but i bought one of those foam egg mattress covers from walmart and cover them with plastic like a garbage bag so it doesn't stick to the foam and it works great. I can do a bunch and take them out of the molds right away and keep reusing the mold
Thank you. Can I leave out the poly 80 and the SLSA? I'm so glad I found this video. It's awesome! New subscriber here.
Thanks Maris. If you leave out the poly80 then your oils will float on the surface, its best to add it. It also helps disperse the mica on the water surface. SLSA is optional.
Dean Wilson thanks so much!
Dean Do you have to use the SLSA I have had so many people say how it is not good for you...what do you think?
Nope, just remove it from your recipe. It will be fine without it.
Super, great recipe
Thank You
Thank you for all your videos !!!!
I love how foamy this recipe is! I was wondering though, I dont like to use that much fragrance oil. it smells way too strong. should I use more almond oil to replace it?
Nope, just don't add ad much fragrance.
