In reply to Alysha. Hello, I use oil instead of water in my bath bombs and they hold together better. Its a trial and error sort of thing. Everyone has different opinions. Hope this helps! ;)

I use witch hazel instead of water, although I am running low, so water is my alternative. I was wondering about the ladies saying they use oil? I would like to as well but how does that work ?
And which oils are recommended?

I was thinking the same thing…sugar + bath might = an itchy situation! I initially thought the “frosting” was a whipped coconut or Shea body butter…which I might try. Maybe a little bees wax, shea butter, coconut oil all whipped up into a body butter consistency that would melt away into a super moisturizing bath!! Oh! Oh!! Maybe mini muffins/cupcakes!! Lots of recipes are calling for witch hazel instead of water…I wonder if that doesn’t make them expand, grow & flop? The batch I made tonight totally blew up & out of the silicon mold…so I pressed all the expanded parts back in & pressed them down after about an hour or so & they came out great with all the detail of the mold! They almost looked a little glossy.
Now I’m super excited for my next batch…as opposed to this last batch of toilet “cookies” I made. Guess it was too much water. I wonder if bleach is water based & would result in them blowing out too? That would be even better for the toilet!

Did you have trouble getting the icing to stay attached to the base bath bomb?

This is awesome idea to make like cupcakes. But I wonder how it results… I mean bathing with real icing.

In reply to Rebecca @ The Good Rub. Thanks so much for the tips! Aloe juice would be a great addition!

Just like Rebecca said, we use oils, butters and essential oils in our bath bombs. If any extra moisture is needed, we use aloe juice which adds even more benefits! If you are making rose scented bombs, you could use rose water as well. So many options!!! Love the look of these cupcake bombs. So much fun for the littles!

In reply to KC. I couldn't tell with absolute certainty about the essential oils other than I know essential oils are more concentrated. There was another commenter here that said she never used water,only oil in her bath bombs, so I imagine that you could make the substitution if you needed to! I have not tried it myself, though.

Does anyone have any experience in using essential oils (Lavender, Orange, Chamomile)? And if so, do you use it in a direct 1:1 substitution of the vanilla extract?

How about using olive oil in place of water? Any advice welcome!

Thank you!

Interesting! I live in Florida, so there is a great deal of humidity in the air–perhaps that made a difference. I tried quite a few recipes before I found one that didn’t grow out of the pans like your last batch. I like Rebeca’s suggestions above to use something else in lieu of the water so it sticks together but doesn’t fizz up!

First batch was a success! These are super cute, smell great (Red with Peppermint!), and they fizz beautifully!

Second batch… this one gave some giggles. The second batch we did with the vanilla extract and blue dye (all natural food dyes). We started packing it into the molds and I was concerned it might be a little dry again so we added a little bit more water and continued packing the molds. Well, when I put these in the low heat oven, just like I did the last batch to help dry them out, the ones I had added a little water to started to grow! hahaha My daughter walked by and said “Um… mommy! They are expanding!”. Luckily the ones we didn’t add the extra water to turned out well. SCIENCE!

Over all, I really like this recipe and I am so excited to keep experimenting with different colors and scents! We are trying to keep these all natural. We have one more batch to make and my daughter is so excited to give these as gifts to her friends!

Currently trying these right now! It’s taken a little trial and error. The first batch we followed the directions directly (with the exception of using peppermint extract instead of vanilla) and they were a little dry. We packed them into silicone molds and packed them super tight and let them sit. They didn’t come out well at all so I tossed everything back into the bowl and added a little bit more of the wet ingredients and repacked them. I think the silicone is making it hard to get these little guys to hold shape. I did try one of the clumps that was holding together and they fiz well and smell amazing! After repacking the molds I put them in a very low heat oven to help dry them out a little faster to see if we can get them to keep shape better. It’s been a very messy process but I think once we nail it down these will be super fun to make, share, and use at home! I’ll let you know how the final product turns out!

I’ve always used oil in my bath bomb recipes and never water. You can get them to pack pretty tight without spritzing them which I find just makes them fizz. I find the best way to get the two sides of your molds to stick together is the following: Take a large scoop of the mixture and place into one side of the mold. Add more until the bath bomb mixture is piled above the shape. DO NOT press any of the mixture into the mold at this point. Repeat with the other half of the mold. Now press the two sides of the mold firmly together and brush away any excess. You can also sub the coconut oil with something like shea butter or even cocoa butter and use a carrier oil with the shea or cocoa butter in lieu of water. Hope this helps with some other ideas.
