Artisan Indulgences Making Embeds for Bath Bombs Tutorial/How To 

Thank you!

They are beautiful

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

Yes. The purple is to die for. That is the Amethyst which is not FDA approved and batch certified to use in products you sell in the USA. Any other country can use them no problem. Ugh. Available now batch certified and FDA approved is Red28 and that is a bright pink and then the new purple which was made with the red28. Still very pretty. This is an old video, but I still use the amethyst for personal use which is completely fine.

Thank you!

Thank you. Well, I haven’t watched the video in a long while, but if I’m not mistaken, the red had slsa in it so it didn’t react as fast as the others. This is why I do all of my embeds basic fizzers, this way it’s different than my main bath Bomb mix. When the water reaches the embeds it will fast fizz forcing the color to shoot out of the bomb and create bath art!

Well, that video is a bit older. At one point, that was the only way to get them as Maria is in the U.K. But now she has them available on her website which is www.eazycolours.co.uk. She ships worldwide. The benefit of being in the group is that she has all the information there in the files regarding these colorants like msds, all the safety info and info in colors that are FDA approved for USA. The group is filled with very helpful people and it's a place for sharing ideas and your products and video demos. If you are in the USA, you may use all the colors for personal use. If you plan on selling your products with using these colorants, the only FDA approved FD&C colors that are batch certified are the red, yellow and blue that you MUST buy in the kilos to be batch certified. You can make a bunch of colors by mixing those three colors. It is well worth the money for the kilos as they will last forever. Lol. I've purchased mine and they are the best colors out there and you need very little to get the vibrancy.

These are EazyColours and you can get them in the USA batch certified in small amounts at www.bathbombdyes.com

Thanks so much. I am in the Eazy Colours fb group. If you'd like to join, come on over. Just know that only the Red, Yellow, and Blue are FD&C colors and are FDA approved and Batch Certified ONLY if you purchase in the Kilo amounts. You can use those three if purchased in the kilo size to put in your products to sell in the USA. All the other colors and the smaller amounts are completely legal, but not fda approved or batch certified. You can use any and all colors offered in your products for personal use. Just some info in case you join. You might want to join to look in the files for any info you need. All msds and anything else regarding these colorants is in there for you to check out to see if they are for you.

I didn't use any poly80. Just equal parts baking soda & citric acid, colorant and alcohol

Ooh Thank you!

Trish ORiley thanks

WOW they are super expensive. I'm not even going to put them in my Favorites list.

Their website is no longer

If you join our fb closed group Eazy Colours, available is biodegradable glitter!

Lowrain 1717 if you're in the states, Nurture Soap carries bio glitter as well.

You can join our fb group called Eazy Colours for starters. In the files are all the information you will need to make a decision as to if they are right for you. If you are in the USA and currently sell the bombs you make, the only FDA approved FD&C Batch Certified colors are the RED, BLUE and YELLOW all of which has to be purchased in the 1 kilo tubs. All of the other ones can be purchased to be used for personal use in the smaller amounts. When you want to order, you order from the website www.eazycolours.co.uk

Thank you ! I will.

You can use them the same day as long as they are dry. Since there's no oil in it and I use alcohol as the binder, the alcohol evaporates quick and they only take a couple hours to dry.

The glitter is biodegradable. I don’t use bakers glitter. Thanks for watching!

What dyes do you use. You're in Canada right? Tammy, I have to tell you that I've learned a lot from you and enjoy very much the recipes you share. I use the Butter Bomb recipe of yours a lot and it works for me. And so moisturizing.

I buy my dye from www.eazycolours.co.uk if you’re international. If you’re in the US, I use www.koalaskraftingboutique.com.

They are Eazy Colours. Feel free to join our fb group called Eazy Colours and More: Bath Time Heaven. It's an awesome very helpful group for Eazy Colours colorant

Great...I appreciate your help!

Thank you. It really is. The red wasn't that vibrant.

They are Eazy Colours. I purchase them from a facebook group called Eazy Colours. You can join if you'd like.

Artisan Loom thank you so much! yes I will check it out now. thank you

I sent a request to join. Thank you again :-)

There are only 4 lakes colorants. You can mix blue and yellow to get the green. You can go to etsy and search for the Workshop Heritage and they also have a magenta which is the pink. But...I do believe I was using Eazy Colours for most of these in the video and those are dyes.

Artisan Loom how do I buy the eazy colours?

Join the facebook group called Eazy Colours. Maria sells them in there. When you do join, please read the pinned post because all the info is in there including pricing, safety, descriptions, etc.

Me too!

I think it was because it was a bit bigger than the small ice cube tray ones and it was freshly made It just had more fizz since it wasn't dry all the way. There was no slsa in it.

You have to join a Facebook group called Eazy Colours and More. The admin sells them. She is in the UK, but her prices are reasonable. All the info about the colorants is in the files. All you do is message her with your order. You need very little because they are concentrated. You can find her page and join the group if you'd like. I use the colorant in most of my bath bombs which are for personal use. I use lakes colorant if I sell any as they are not FDA approved for selling in the US which is absolutely absurd. They do not stain and no Poly80 is needed. I super love them. Other countries are approved but for some reason, the US hasn't gotten on the bandwagon.

you can buy eazy colours from the UK directly at www.eazycolours.co.uk. But if you are in the United States, you can also buy from a distributor here. There are about 6 that currently sell, but I'd say go to www.krunchieboutique.com. You can get them faster than ordering from the UK.

+Tiffani Yes you should since they are lakes and not water soluble.

I ordered them in my fb group called Eazy Colours.

can you post a link for the facebook group?

Nope. No oil at all.

I paint my bombs with 91% alcohol and micas. If you make too runny, it will bleed. If you make too thick, you will see all the brush strokes. Just have to find a happy medium.

Artisan Loom Thank you very much for your response. This is definitely something I'm going to be experimenting with, the look of it is just so lovely. Thank you again.

Dawn Smith .

I paint my bombs with micas and alcohol.

+Mermaidia If you are using water soluble dyes, you usually don't need poly.

Thank you for your reply. That's what I was thinking too. :)

Easy Colours are dyes and they’re super vibrant and water soluble. Micas aren’t water soluble so you’d need poly80 with mica powder and you won’t get the color you’d want in the water. Most makers including LUSh use water soluble dyes and they are available and fda approved. His is an old video, so it was way before the dyes were available fda approved in smaller amounts. I use water instead of alcohol now to get them he vibrancy they possess. Water in a fine mist spray bottle helps the bombs get rock hard as well as long as you spray and mix to stop the activation. Hope this helps. You can join EazyColours bath bombs group on Facebook if you’d like!

It’s all EazyColours

I already color the outside of the bombs and do a couple colors throughout and put the other colorful embeds in the center. The reason for using embeds is that they are a different mix than the bomb mix and they just fizz and when it gets to the center of the bomb, the embeds fizz out and create the bath art. and slow the bomb down.

+DB Soap Yes you can. For EazyColours, it's best to use water since they are water so,unless, but I've come accustomed to using alcohol. But you can most definitely use witch hazel.

Well, you can order how ever much you want. I think from sample packs to 100 grams or so. All info is in the pinned post in Eazy Colours group. Wait. Are you talking about the container I store my embeds? If so, I'm not sure of the exact size. I bought the containers at Dollar Tree. Theres small ones and larger ones. I just looked at the containers and the small one says its 9.1 oz. The larger container holds 38 fl oz.

Artisan Loom I think she was asking the amethyst color you have in the plastic container. What size is that?

Artisan Loom I too was wondering what size. I got the 7color in baggies but would love that size of jar u have

No I don't. It is equal parts BS and CA, colorant and spritz with 91% alcohol

None! Eazy Colours need no poly80

Alanna Mendez These are embeds which are the basic fizzers that go inside the bombs and they shoot out colors and make the bath art. They are a different mix than the more complicated bomb mix.

Yes. You sure can.

+Mermaidia I don't add any oils to mine. Just basic fizzer

Thanks. Last embed batches I made I practically was making a mini bomb lol. I like the way my embeds turned out after doing them like yours from this recipe. Here's a thing I'm still wondering about though...I take my dye powder in sm bowl, add a ml or 2 of distilled water, then in a large bowl put the b soda then add my colored water mix to that. At that point, I sprayed some alcohol to the colored b soda before adding my citric thinking better now then having to spray so much more after citric is added. What's your opinion on spraying alcohol into the soda before adding citric?

+Mermaidia Honestly, I don't do mine that way, but I understand why you do. It's like blooming. I usually don't do mine that way because I paint my bombs and so I most of the time have my mix white and then I rely on the embeds to give me color. But, if you add a few drops of water to your dyes and then add to your baking soda, that most likely will help with the concentration spots and make your mix a more smoother color. If I did do mine that way, I would definitely use alcohol. It's my preference because I don't want to activate my mix. If you want, you can bloom your dyes by adding the dye powder straight to your baking soda and add water and rub between your hands till it's all mixed in and you get the vibrant color you want. Then let it dry overnight to make sure it's totally dry. This way it won't activate your mix once added to citric. A lot of people make up a bunch of different colors and have it ready for when they need it. All up to you.

Thanks for your advice. I understand why you use your method a bit better now. It's all about experimenting I think and finding what works best for each of us. But honestly, I love getting tips from you because I think your bombs are simply amazing. So thanks again.

+Mermaidia Awe. Thank you! Everyone does things a bit different. I try to keep it simple. For me, blooming is a waste of time, but for others, it's the only way.

If you’re talking about embeds, you take them out of the mold immediately. Idk if you use a mini ice cube tray or a teaspoon, but whatever you use, take out immediately and let them sit overnight. I also put a fan toward them to help with drying. But they should be dry completely if you let them sit overnight.

Artisan Loom Thank you I thought u were sapose to let them dry inside over night thx for the advice

You can go to www.eazycolours.co.uk if you want to purchase. Not all colors are in stock, but will be shortly. Also, the group is Eazy Colours and More: Bathtime Heaven. It is a closed group and you will have to ask to join.

Artisan Loom​ thank you so much.

I use alcohol when I make my embeds because it doesn’t stick to the teaspoon or whatever mold I’m using. If I use water, it seems to stick. But for my bath bombs I use water only. It dries really fast and gives you extra time to get multiple bombs made. You can use either water, alcohol or witch hazel to make the embeds.

Me either! LOL

Where do you buy easy color from?

I am in a Facebook group called Eazy Colours and More and the admin in charge sells them. All the info is in the files and all you do is message her with your order. She's in the UK, but reasonable in my opinion. You need very little because its concentrated. You can find her page and join the group if you'd like.

Hi hun, i tried to find the facebook group Easy Colours and More, but i can seem to find the group. is there anyway you can post a link to her page please?

+Meaghan Gale I couldn't find it either…

Hi, I joined the group and not sure what colors are available and how to message the administrator. I left a message in the group....not sure I should do that....but I am very interested in trying these colors as a new soaper. Can you offer any more information as to colors or what to do to order? Thanks, your video was very helpful, so glad I found it!

+babszolla k how were you able to join? I wasn't able to find the group

Usually 24 hours is what I wait, but maybe a few hours would be fine. I make sure they are rock hard. I also put a fan on them to help with drying process.

Honestly, I love using 91% alcohol. I got over the smell long ago. I just think water and witch hazel gets too damp. I prefer alcohol for myself.

Embeds are basically basic fixers loaded with color to put in the middle of your bath Bomb so the colors shoot out making the bath art. They are 1:1 ratio of Baking Soda and Citric Acid.

Well, an embed is basically a basic fixer with just equal parts baking soda and citric acid (and colorant and binder) and my recipe for my bath Bomb has different ratio’s of baking soda and citric acid and also added ingredients like SLSA (which slows the fizz and creates foam) and butters. The point of an embed is to be a basic fizzier so when you add them to the center of your bath Bomb, they have a faster fizz and will shoot out color to create the bath art.

This is an older video before I found bioglitter. It is cosmetic glitter in this video. But I now use a .002 micro glitter that is outstanding.

They are Eazy Colours. I am in a fb group called Eazy Colours that sells them.

Thank you. I sent a request to be added. Hopefully they'll ad me soon! =) Thank you for responding. Have you had a chance to checkout my videos? I don't have many uploaded now, but I have many more coming. =)

There’s no controversy except for the fact that it’s not fda approved/batch certified here in the states for commercial selling. You can buy for personal use though. This video is quite old and at that time only 3 colors were fda approved. Now there’s a lot more!

@@artisanloom3251 I did not know that it's not certified 🙁 it's beautiful though for sure

+Chantal Roger Yes. This is an older video. Now there are EazyColours Distributors here in the USA that sell FDA approved batch certified dyes in smaller amounts. You can search for EazyColours on fb and join our group. Here is a distributor website www.krunchiboutique.com.

Because you want it to be a different mixture than your bath bomb mix. Embeds are fast fizzers which cause the colors to shoot out of the bomb and give the color stream.

Thank you! :)

@@artisanloom3251 great explanation thanks!

Basically, I place like 3 in one half of the round bomb and overfill with mix. Then I place like 5 in the other side and overfill with mix. Then take the two sides and push them together. The key to make the bombs spin is putting more in one side than the other so that one side is heavier. Hope this helps!

+Artisan Loom thank you for explaining that!

You can use witch hazel. I use alcohol, but you can. It’s certainly use witch hazel
