Everyone wants something different, but they all want the same results: fizzing and spinning. Embeds Recipe for Spinning DIY Bath BombsOne of the exciting parts about using a bath bomb is watching it spin and color the water. The secret to our spinning bath bomb recipe is to use embeds.An embed is a small, colored ball.
Bomb Shot Recipes. We’ve found yet another creative way to get alcohol into our bodies. They are called bomb shots and these are some of the top bomb shot recipes out there. The first set of these bomb shot recipes are all bombed in.
They are similar to the bath bombs, just more concentrated. Here’s a Recipe for the Embeds:. ½ cup citric acid.
optional, 15 drops essential oil. ½ cup baking soda. ½ teaspoon lake pigment or bath bomb color.
91% rubbing alcohol mixed with witch hazel, equal proportions Mix the dry ingredients really well, then spritz with the rubbing alcohol/witch hazel mixture. You should make it like damp sand – firm enough to hold together without crumbling. Pack this into small molds pretty tightly and pop out. Let dry a bit before mixing together the next step.Safety Note: be careful not inhale the rubbing alcohol/witch hazel spritz. While Pubmed studies show inhalation toxicity is rare, it’s still a good idea to spritz away from your face.The documented toxicity of isopropyl alcohol in man is confined for the most part to accidental ingestion (not inhalation)1. At this time it's a good idea to mix with your hands rather than relying on a mixing spoon. Use gloves as the baking soda can wear on your nails.
Once all the bath bomb recipe ingredients are thoroughly mixed together, spritz 1-2 times with the alcohol/witch hazel mixture. Mix quickly with your hands and check to see if it's ready. Make a snowball with the mixture and drop it into the bowl.
If it holds together your bath bombs are ready to mold. If it breaks apart, spritz 1-2 more times and check again. Repeat until your snowball holds together when dropped into the bowl. Additional Tips Foaming DIY Bath BombsTo make your DIY bath bombs foam too, add 1 Tbsp of nonfat milk powder. Lake Pigments and Polysorbate 80When choosing colors, and bath bomb colors will work the best to dissolve in the tub AND color the water. If you’re not concerned with making a completely natural bath bomb, you can add a bit of polysorbate 80 to help the color to dissolve and to keep the oils from floating on the top and making the tub slippery.
Polysorbate 80 is a synthetic compound that is used as a surfactant and emulsifier. Powdered MicaPowdered mica can also be used to color this bath bomb recipe. Mica is a natural mineral and has usually been dyed to make colorants.
Mica produces nice soft colors, but will not color the water, which some people want in their bath. It will sometimes stick to the sides of the tub and appear to stain it, but this can be alleviated by using polysorbate 80. Essential and Fragrance OilsMany people love a scented bath bomb. Essential oils can sometimes be too irritating for open areas of the skin. Some exceptions are lavender and rose essential oils. Fragrance oils are less irritating to the skin, although not completely natural. CornstarchFinally, there is some concern with using cornstarch in the bath and the assumption that it can cause yeast infections. It would need to be used in much larger amounts to cause a problem.
If you are still concerned, you can omit it from the recipe.Have you ever made a spinning bath bomb recipe like this? Tell us about your experience.Sources. National Research Council (US) Committee on Toxicology.

I’m still new to Polysorbate 80, but I love it already. Very simply put, it’s a form of sugar and oil, which forms an emulsifier, bonding oils and water. It’s more complicated than that, but this is the simple version. It is very concentrated, so in my recipe, where I use 4 cups of baking soda to 2 cups of citric acid, I use about a teaspoon.
It needs to be mixed in very well, so I use my hands (with gloves on) to get in there and really mix it. It works well with lakes and micas, so well that you can see the colors NOT sticking to the sides of the bowl or spoons.
I am sooo loving using it!.Rome says.
