Steps
Step 1:
Take one of your mixing bowls of the (3) and add your dry ingredients. This
includes your baking soda, citric acid, SLSA and kaolin clay (optional).
Try and stick with fine grain supplies whenever possible, it just makes
formulating bath bombs easier. Even with using fine grain baking soda
however, you can still get clumps.
If that's the case take the mixture
and run it between your hands to break up the clumps. Kaolin clay is recommended
in this bath bomb because it can really help to give your skin that
extra smooth feeling and harden up the bath bombs. We recommend you wear gloves
& a mask
whenever making bath bombs.
Tip:
Do not add mica, cocoa powder or coffee
beans yet
Step 2
In another mixing bowl you can add your wet
ingredients. Wet ingredients include your fragrance oil(s) in this case,
polysorbate 80, and Jojoba Oil. Shea butter is a great substitute if
you don't have jojoba oil, you simply need to melt it first in the
microwave to get to liquid form.
Step 3
Now, add your wet ingredients into your mixture. Mix immediately.
You can also use a hand or stand mixture, but we like doing these
recipes by hand for just a few bath bombs because it gives you a better
feel for the texture and correct consistency.
Step 4
Now separate you mixture evenly. 1/2 in each bowl.
Step 5
Now, add you cocoa powder, and brown mica to one of the bowls.
Step 6
At this point the mixture(s) should not be ready yet. This is where your
spray bottle comes into play. Start with 3-5 sprays at a time. Add your
sprays and immediately start to mix, if not your mixture may start to
react from the water in the spray bottle, baking soda and citric acid.
Step 7
If you have read our other blog posts about bath bombs or shower
steamers, you will know that to make sure you have the right
consistency, you can do the drop test. The drop test includes grabbing a
handful of mixture, squeezing it together and then dropping it from
about 8-10 inches above the bowl. If it stays together your are ready to
mold.
Step 8
Now that your mixture is the right wetness and consistency, take
one-half of your mold in your hand (preferably your white mixture). Take first your 5 or so coffee beans
and place them in the bottom of one half of you mold. Now overfill that half
of the mold with your white mixture, this should really make the brown
coffee beans "pop" in the final unveiling.
Do not pack down.
Step 9
Take the other mold half and do the same.
Step 10
Press the molds together, do not twist. Just push hard for a few
seconds, then tap the top of the mold. You can use a wooden mixing
spoon for this.
Step 11
The top piece should come off easily, but if not give it a few more
taps. Try not to twist the mold to much, you really just should be able
to pull the top piece straight off.
The Pumpkin Spice Bath Bombs (below) use 3 colorants in total
as oppose to our 2 colorant themed bath bomb!
Step 12
At this point the top half of the bath bomb is exposed and the
bottom mold is still on. Try tapping the bottom half of the mold and
then flip over into your other hand. It should come out nicely. Place it
on a soft surface, like egg cartoon foam.
Tip:
Some recipes call for bath bombs to stay in the mold for a few minutes
up to an few hours. If you have the right consistency you really should
not have to do this.
Step 13
Let dry 24-48 hours. Place in warm bath water slowly, with the bath bomb in palm of your hand.
That's it, you now have yourself an awesome fall inspired bath bomb to make and use anytime of the year!
