Hi everyone! I'm sorry the music is a bit too loud in this video. I had an issue with the blending on my editing software and this is the result of it.

Maria you're so cool! Thanks for sharing your knowledge about soaps and bathbombs. You're a beautiful woman, thank you for taking time to upload videos on your channel.

Awww, thanks. You're beautiful too! :)

Hi Maria. I have been struggling for ages to make bath bombs, with it always being hit and miss. After watching your video, I simplified my recipe as you suggested and have had nothing but success!! I only use water now to bind and took out the coconut oil!! Thank you so much - all the way from South Africa!

@creativecheersoffashionlau7364 4 года назад

Great tips!! Finally someone who really knows how it works. Not the diy-ers! Thank you!!

@hayleysmith6008 4 года назад

I'm so happy I've found this! I tried making one yesterday and it activated overnight in my mold and overflowed! Will be trying again today with this new advice!

@tyleranderson798 5 лет назад

@lindapiccotti3311 Год назад

I have been trying to make shower steamers without much success. I was trying to find information about troubleshooting and found your video about bathbombs. THANK YOU! Your information certainly applies to shower steamers as far as wetness of the mix and humidity while drying them. I am so appreciative that you've shared your experience! I will continue to experiment and perfect. I live in NJ which is low altitude and pretty humid. I purchased a dehumidifier and hope this solves much of my problem. Be well and continue to help others. 💜

@judykritikos2953 6 лет назад

Thanks for so much info. I had a problem w/ cracking early on, and I think you said we could wrap them in cellophane (Saran wrap type stuff) pretty quickly. Once I let them dry for about an hour, I wrap them up and that took care of that problem. You gave a lot of other issues I haven't had yet -thankfully, but I'm equipped now to know a bit more of what's causing it and now, hopefully, be able to avoid it.

@sunnyd2394 6 лет назад

Thank you for sharing your knowledge on bath bombs. I have been wanting to try making some. I live in Utah, and this info will defiantly help me trouble shoot.

Great video! I find adding the citric acid after the wet ingredients helps to prevent the reaction starting prematurely.

@PassionFactorCCo 6 лет назад

If you add embeds, I think embeds helps them spin because the embeds are of different ratio of citric acid/carbo mix. The bomb is 2-1 and the embeds are 1-1. The embeds fizz faster than the bomb so it causes it to spin.

@debiolsen8707 5 лет назад

Great info, although if anyone is selling bath bombs, use caution with these ratios. Lush has a patent for using embeds with a different ratio and/or recipe than the outer bomb - and they have gone after people who violate it. You are okay if the embeds are the exact same mix/recipe as the rest of the bomb, however.

@natural75beauty75 4 года назад

Passion Factor it’s actually the weight and an imbalance in placement within the bomb that makes it spin when adding embeds...

@lorim9304 3 года назад

I agree climate play's a big part, I'm in Detroit Michigan and water does not work for me, so I started using witch hazel and it works so well for me, andI love it. I also use poly 80 and I love that too. You have helped me so much, thank you.

@marymidgett2022 5 лет назад

Although I listened to your other bath bomb videos, I appreciated your advice. When I did my bath bomb class, I think we twisted some so when we took off the mold they were broke in half. Now I know WHY? Thanks again

@hollymiller4525 6 лет назад

Thank you so much for sharing all your helpful information, I was ready to pull my hair out, I first started making bombs about a year ago and they came out perfect every time without any problems, then I moved to a different house and couldnt make another successful bomb to save my life, thinking its due to having a damp basement so have introduced a dehumidifier but still cant seem to get them right, I was ready to give up but after watching your video Im gonna try tweaking my recipe, question though and you might have said it and I missed it but what percentage of humidity would you recommend?

@pattyspencer7795 6 лет назад

Same types of information that I give in the groups I'm in when people complain - then of course you get those that don't agree with simple explanation of - it just depends on where you live - so frustrating

@dillsshackleford2864 6 лет назад

Hello, thank you for explaining the reasons bath bombs don't work, I am in UK and the weather can be unpredictable, where I live we have been in a heatwave, very little rain, and I followed your video's and I think I was leaving them too long before wrapping, so this morning I broke down the cracked ones and started again, I am about to turn them over, fingers crossed x

Thank you so much for this video!! You have helped me alot!! I live in New Jersey and in the summer my bath bombs came out prefect!! Now that it is winter they were not perfect. Soft and breaking!! I needed to add more witch hazel and less coconut oil! You are the best!! Hard as a rock bath bombs this morning!! Seasons change so does your recipes. Yes, I'm new at this. Lol

@dionicia12 6 лет назад

I think the mix looks more like warmed or fresh brown sugar. Like brown sugar where the package has been freshly opened or microwaved for like 10 to 15 seconds.

@heathercalcote2432 4 года назад

what do you recommend adding or subtracting for a humid climate.

@chrissys7332 4 года назад

@heatheranderson1091 3 года назад

Thank you for this video. I have a small soap company and thought "oooh bath bombs will be an easy add" WRONG! My recipe worked great the first 3 batches...but the same damn recipe now crumbles, cracks, you name it..I'm legit pulling my hair out at this point.

@AuntDuddie 6 лет назад

@beckyvanommeren6674 4 года назад

I live in Iowa where humidity is high in the summer. I’ve been using coconut oil. Sometimes they harden and later get powdery. Any ideas what I might do differently?

@ttopcar 5 лет назад

Thank you for this vid! I just came across your channel today. I’ve been wanting to make some shower steamers for awhile. I always do my research and learning from videos and watched your vid making them. I made mine and the majority of them had cracks in them and they were powder. I broke them all down and I’m going to try again with them tomorrow. I live in SC and it’s really cool weather here now so I thought Oh Cool this is a good time to make this stuff LOL and I get cracks and powder 😂😂😂😂 Thanks for the tips! I subscribed! 👍🏽

@DesertCloudSoapworks 5 лет назад

You may need to adjust the moisture content a bit based on your location.

@triciaapplewhite4939 3 года назад

Thank you very much. Made my first batch... It was horrible...lol. Will follow your tips

@sebeshinga 2 года назад

I have learned a lot from you thank you so much I want to ask where to store bath bombs they get hard after a week they go soft

@DesertCloudSoapworks 2 года назад

In a very cool and very dry place. If your humidity is above 40%, get a dehumidifier.

@lorena617 4 года назад

I just made my first one it went beautiful but after 24 hours they are not drying. I made a second batch i only change the essential oil in the recipe and it was so sticky I had to add more baking soda in order to work im going to see tomorrow if they dry fast. Thanks for the tip about not twisting the two sides I was doing that I learn something new today

@doudou7895 4 года назад

It’s true, have to try in different humidity. I failed 10 times and finally did it in the last time after reducing the liquid.

@colleensreviews5153 4 года назад

What is your advice for people who live in Barre, Vermont? That's where I live and the bath bombs never dry or harden the way it should. They get all crumbly but it feels moist

@Oyayansacreations 6 лет назад

Thanks for this info. I live in North Carolina and it is soooooo difficult. My mix dry out quickly and I have to work fast.

@wickedquilter8201 6 лет назад

@jackietiernan 4 года назад

Hello from Scotlad 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Thank you so much for all the sound information. I am a real novice. I spent the last few weeks trying to perfect a “bomb” that is mostly epsom ( for the magnesium benefits ) but there is so little fizz. I need to just call it a bath soak instead. So Im trying to teach myself a bit more about fizz and bubbles. I have already decided to stay away from slsa and I have not tried the powder milk yet. My question is - what do you think of the idea of adding some liquid castille soap to the mixture.

@DesertCloudSoapworks 4 года назад

I wold not do that. Your bombs won't dry.

@Thislibralovesmoney 3 года назад

@ehyeah_tarot 4 года назад

Do you have a recipe for a humid and tropical climate. I live in an island city near mountains. I have trouble with the wet ingredients. The second batch I made reacted to the humidity. They tend to melt like a snowman. I placed them in a fridge for now.

@carolallinson2455 5 лет назад

I just found your videos and think you're great! I'd like to know where you got your 2.75" metal molds and where you got your jojoba beads. A supplier list for your candle/soap specific items would be helpful for me. Thanks for your videos!

@claudinehorne3618 5 лет назад

Hi Maria, thank you so much for your generosity & time you’ve taken to explain all this. I’m wondering if you ever use a mixture that has crumbled & turned to powder. Meaning, have you added more water or liquid & tried to remold them? I know you’ve mentioned using it as “unicorn dust”, but I have so much fragrance in a batch that I’m really hoping to remold them & use it, because I’m making gifts for people. Thank you for any help you can offer :)

@DesertCloudSoapworks 5 лет назад

If you try to do that, most of the time it won't work. You will also be activating the citric acid.

@claudinehorne3618 5 лет назад

Thank you for your quick response! I gave it a try, they’re holding together well & I added more citric acid, but it’s sounding like I should save these for myself. Thank you again Maria!

@lindasplace2727 6 лет назад

Very helpful! I just subscribed today. Have you done a tutorial using slsa? I’m looking to learn more about what that actually is and where to buy it.

@DesertCloudSoapworks 6 лет назад

Not yet, but that's coming soon.

@connieng4792 4 года назад

Thank you. Awesome video as I have started making mine. What exactly is "in beds" that you were talking about? Most grateful if you or someone could enlighten me. Thanks:)

@DesertCloudSoapworks 4 года назад

Inbeds are concentrated color blocks (or pieces) made from the same stuff of the bath bomb, only heavily colored that is put in the middle of the bath bomb. When the bomb dissolves, it releases the vibrant color.

@latricencameron 6 лет назад

I made my first batch of bath bombs today and one of my bombs have a crack in the bottom. I live in NC so I'm sure how to tweak my recipe. One thing that I did notice was when I was putting my bombs together my molds would slip to one side. I hope that someone has some advice.

@vemmavue 5 лет назад

@brittanyirish8856 4 года назад

My biggest problem is my mix beads up/clumps together in like little pebbles and I dont know why 😔 any tips on what I'm doing wrong?

@pennyhamby4163 10 месяцев назад

I’m new to making bathbombs. But the few batches I’ve made I can’t hold them at all bc they crumble and are like powder. This is after 10+ hours of drying. I live in Georgia. So I’m trying to figure this out but to the point of frustration. Thanks Penny

@DesertCloudSoapworks 10 месяцев назад

@sleevedbug1046 6 лет назад

I am a first timer. While making my bath bombs as I was pushing the mold together(I have the metal ones) the mixture pushed back if that makes sence. Also when I set them aside to dry they ended up going flat and look like cookies. Did this happen because I have to much liquid in it?

@DesertCloudSoapworks 6 лет назад

Yes, you are using way too much liquid.

@sleevedbug1046 6 лет назад

Desert Cloud Soapworks I thought so. Thank you so much for getting back to me!
