Today I'm going to show you how to make butter bombs, which are perfect for cold weather. These bath bombs have skin-loving ingredients like clay, milk powder, & the star ingredient- cocoa butter chunks. As the butter chunks drift away from the bomb they slowly melt in the water, leaving your skin soft & moisturized.
First, prepare butter. Use hard butter, like cocoa, kokum, or cupuacu butter. The amount added is up to you. Sprinkle a bit of corn starch if it sticks together. Chop butter into tiny pieces or pulse it 2-3 times (blender). Not too long though because it will melt.
RECIPE: 1 cup baking soda, 1/2 cup citric acid, 1/4 cup clay (kaolin), 1/2 cup milk powder (coconut), 1/2 tablespoon SLSa {Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate}, 1 tablespoon titanium dioxide, 35 grams chopped butter (cocoa butter). + 10 milliliters fragrance, 5 milliliters carrier oil (jojoba), 5 milliliters water, 10 milliliters polysorbate 80.
SUBSTITUTIONS: Baking soda & citric acid are responsible for fizzing reactions in water. Substitute any beneficial ingredient for a different one, like a different milk powder or clay, colloidal oatmeal, aloe vera powder, etc. Or just replace it with baking soda or corn starch. OPTIONAL: The titanium dioxide makes the water an opaque white. The SLSa makes the bath bomb last longer and adds foam & lather. Use any carrier oil; I used jojoba. Substitute fragrance oil for essential oil or carrier oil (or both). I recommend using water as it makes the bath bomb hard. I recommend using polysorbate 80; it's particularly effective at emulsifying heavy oil & butter with water.
Sieve dry ingredients together. Mix wet & dry ingredients separately. Add wet ingredients slowly while whisking, then mix the batch. Then thoroughly mix & knead it with your hands. The mixture should hold together when squeezed. Now add the butter chunks & mix.
MOLDING: Fill the mold & pack it. Sprinkle loose mix on top. Repeat for other side. Smoosh the 2 sides together tightly (until molds touch all the way around). Tap both sides with a spoon to release the bomb. Dry them for 24-48 hours, then shrink wrap them.
Recipe makes 3.5 bath bombs. Bombs last up to a year but are best fresh as they lose effervescence over time.
The butter chunks melt slowly & turn into small pools of oil on top the water that eventually disappears. You're left with soft, velvety, & milky-white water. Now just sit back & relax! Afterwards my skin was soft & moisturized. There may be an oil ring around the tub but it easily wipes off.
The "glamorous" butter bath bomb: Make the same exact recipe. Split the mix in half. Add gold mica & 1/8 cup Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate to 1 batch & nothing to the other. Mold the bomb in a "layered" or "swirled" pattern.
