RE: Bath Bomb Scents for Kids

[Guest guest]

Hi (and everyone else too!)

I am new to this list - been here just a few days I guess. Would you

mind sharing your fizzy bath cookie recipe with me? I tried a batch of

those a few weeks ago and while they looked and smelled great, they

made a horrible mess in the bath and didn't melt or dissolve at all.

I'm not sure what I did - maybe too much oil. The chunks in the bath

water looked and felt like the foam stuffing out of a pillow - very

strange! The recipe I had must be different from yours I guess - the

recipe I used didn't call for citric acid so they weren't supposed to

fizz, just dissolve.

But Hey! I thought of a way to use them anyway! I just crunched them

all up with a mortar and pestle and will be adding them to some bath tea

mixtures! I was disappointed that they weren't usable as cookies though

- like I said they were very pretty. I used Rose EO, pink food color

and placed a small rose bud in the middle of each one. They make good

decorations but are just awful in the bath water!

Thanks,

Femme

I recently started making my bath bombs bath cookies.  I added oatmeal

and vanilla, drop them out like no-bakes and viola, a fizzing foaming

bath cookie.  Watch out though, I have Had I person take a bite before I

could let them know.  I plan on trying a chocolate one next.

I haven't had much success with eos with my testers (my 8 and 9 yo sons) but

they actually liked the lavender bombs I made...but to be honest they like the

fizzing action so much, they don't really care what the scent is, they'd use

them all up...They love when I have " crumbs " or broken bombs, means they get to

have them....it's about the only thing I can use to convince them that batheing

is a good practice lol

I made my first bath bombs tonight and so far so good -- nothing is oozing or

puffing up. Anyway, I would like to make some fun bath bombs to send to my

grandson in Hawaii and a friend's son who is about the same age (6). I'm a

newbie to all of this and so wouldn't hazard a guess as to a good scent for an

active boy. I do know that peppermint is not an eo that I want to use with him

especially given that he takes his baths in the evenings. Any suggestions for

blending eo's for kids bath bombs would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Femme, here is the repice I used.   I'll be honest, it started out as one

huge mess up, so I just added this and that, here is the recipe that I

ended up with:  2oz Cocoa Butter, melted this down

                                                                         

       -add-

                                                                      

3.5ml Vanilla FO

                                                                       

3.5ml Hot Buttered Vanilla FO        

                                                                       

-mix together 2oz baking soda

                                                                         

                     2oz powdered oatmeal

                                                                         

                     2oz citric acid

                                                                       

-stir this all together, then let sit 15-20 minutes, add 2 oz.

Cornstarch, mix well and drop onto waxed paper to dry.         Bright

Blessings to You

I like to add a couple of drops of lemon and/or lime eo to children's bath

bombs.

Hi

Did you use any colouring in these, and can they be pushed /put into b/bomb

molds. Going to try this later with my GD.

Thanks

Laraine, I have never used a bath bomb mold or press.  The only other

ones that I have made I cut out shapes.  I'm sure you could play a little

while, the key is to let the cocoa butter start cooling.    Sorry I can't

help out more.  Blessings

molds so I was gunna give it a try. Went to get the oatmeal and my DD had

thrown it out, said there were weavils in it. Went and bought some last

tomorrow. Will let you know if the molds work.
