How to color bath bombs: the basics of micas, lakes and dyes and how they perform in the water 

An introduction to the 3 main ingredients used to color bath bombs:
Micas, Lakes and Dyes
I couldn't possible cover all the aspects of using these but I do go over the pros and cons and show you how they work in the water, as well as an overview for the MOST COMMON question concerning micas, how to get the "Lava Effect"
HERE'S THE BREAKDOWN:
How much do I need PER BATH--since the size of bath bombs varies I decided to break it down that way... so how much colorant would I need to make 1 bath tub of water look pretty... I think my tub is 30-45 gallons based on how many cubes I used in the 1 gallon jar and how much I needed in the tub... if your bath tub is bigger you might play with these numbers. Also different supplies have different dye loads so always make sure you test before you sell!
MICA (Regular): 1 tsp (or 2grams) PER BATH
--A batch of 10 full-size bath bombs would need ~20grams or 6 Tablespoons of mica
MICA (Lava): 2 tsp (or 4 grams) PER BATH
--A batch of 10 full size bath bombs would need ~40grams or 12 Tablespoons of mica
DYE: .03-.05 grams per bath
--A batch of 10 full size bath bombs would need .3-.5 grams or 1/8-1/4 teaspoons of dye
LAKE: .3-.5 grams per bath
--A batch of 10 full size bath bombs would need 3-5 grams or 2-4 teaspoons of lake
These numbers aren't set in stone and I certainly use more Lake than that on a regular basis because I like highly saturated water, but this should help you get a start!
