  • 19g   Cream of Tartar
  • Blue Bath Bomb Colorant
  • Orange Bath Bomb Colorant                                         

Recommended Wet Ingredients:                                  

  • 11g Avocado Oil                                                
  • 11g Polysorbate 80                                           
  • 22g Black Raspberry Vanilla Fragrance Oil

Recommended Utensils:

  • 1x Mixing Bowl
  • 1x 3" Donut - 3D Printed Bath Bomb Mold
  • Scale 
  • Sifter
  • Metal Spoon
  • Gloves
  • Facemask(recommended)

Directions:

  • Step 1: Weigh out and sift into a bowl the Baking Soda, Cornstarch, Lathanol, Cream of Tartar(leave the Citric Acid out for now). Gently mix. 


  • Step 2: Weigh the Avocado Oil, Polysorbate 80, and Black Raspberry Vanilla Fragrance Oil in a mixing cup. Mix until combined, then pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix well. 


  • Step 3: Now add the Orange and Blue Bath Bomb colorant , starting with a little then adding more until desired color is reached, then mix in the Citric Acid.


  • Step 4: Test the Bath Bomb mix by pushing some in your hand together and dropping into the bowl. If it sticks together without breaking It's ready to fill the mix into the mold. If it doesn't hold together add some water using a spray bottle until the mix holds together when dropping.


  • Step 5: Now fill the Bath Bomb mold by holding the bottom part and the sleeve in one hand , do not push the mix into the mold but rather leave it loose and be sure to leave a mound on top . However, don't overfill the mold.


  • Step 6: Once you have filled the sleeve and bottom part of the mold , use the top piece and place it on top. 


  • Step 7: Now push down on the top part of the mold either in your hands or on a table to form the Bath Bomb. 


  • Step 8: This will cause a bit of a suction between the mold and Bath Bomb which you can easily break by tapping the back of a metal spoon against the mold. 


  • Step 9: Once you tapped a few times against all sides, place the mold on the table and push the sleeve up. 


  • Step 10: Remove the sleeve and brush with your thumb or index finger around the exposed ring of the bath bomb to smoothen it out.


  • Step 11: Now use the spoon and gently tap against the top part of the mold while holding onto it to break the suction.


  • Step 12: Carefully pull the top part of the mold diagonally up. Now carefully hold onto the exposed part of the Bath Bomb, while turning it upside down so it won't fall out. Place on a flat surface and gently tap with the back of the spoon to release from the mold. Then repeat the process until all the mix is used up. Should the Bath Bomb break you can just start over by reusing the mix, as long as it's done within roughly 30 min ,if it's too dry spray it with some water. 


  • Step 13: Let the  Bath Bomb Donuts dry for at least 24 hours before decorating!

Humidity

Humidity can cause Bath Bomb mix to become tricky. We prefer working with this recipe between 30% to 50% humidity.

We also found that adding clay to the recipe can help at a higher humidity.If the mix activates , try adding a little bit of clay .

This recipe was tested at 43% humidity in a room temperature of 24.3 degrees. We highly recommend working in a space with a humidifier.

If for some reason the Bath Bombs do crumble , do not throw out the mix(or any leftovers from making Bath Bombs, rather package it and sell it as a Bath Bomb powder).



Caring for your 3d printed Bath Bomb molds:


Do not submerge in water , as water can get trapped inside the plastic , causing Bath Bombs to activate upon making. You may wipe the mold with cold water and paper towel if needed, hot water can deform the plastic. Do not place it in a dishwasher!

If the mold was submerged in water accidentally , place it on a metal drying tray for at least 24h, to be sure the water fully evaporated from all sides.
