Lavender bath bomb

Formula: 37935

Phase Ingredients for 1 pc. of 100 gr Quantity
A Baking soda 56 gr
A Citric acid 28 gr
A Kaolin clay 9 gr
A Coco-betain Surfactant  3,5 gr
B Sweet Almond oil 2 gr
B Lavender essential oil 35 drops
B Pure vodka or 40-45° alcohol 0,5 gr
C Lavender flowers for decoration 1-2 gr

Preparation:

In a bowl mix the ingredients of phase A well.
In a glass or other small bowl mix the ingredients of phase B.
Gradually add the Phase B mix over Phase A, stirring thoroughly in between. To make the mixture as homogeneous and lump-free as possible, continue mixing with your hands (using gloves).

If you have a rigid PVC mould - the soft silicone one is not optimale, then transfer the composition and press well. Turn the mould over, hammer the top and press gently to release the product.
If you have a dedicated mould for bath bombs then fill the two halves and press together. Remove the ball from the mould immediately after pressing.

For this recipe we worked with two small glass bowls - which can be found at any hypermarket in the tableware aisle.
In one (or both) of the bowls we put the dried lavender and then fill it a little over capacity, pressing down gently with the palm of our hand. Fill the second bowl as well, press down with the palm of your hand, then combine the two bowls and press down firmly. The whole of the prepared quantity should go into the 2 glass bowls. After pressing, gently tap the top bowl, remove it carefully without twisting, then the other bowl as well.

Leave the prepared balls to dry in a warm, dry place. The next day they can be placed in a glass jar or wrapped in foil.

Add the Phase B mix on top of Phase A, mixing thoroughly in between. To make the mixture as homogeneous and lump-free as possible, continue mixing with your hands (using gloves).

If you have a rigid PVC mould - the soft silicone one is not optimale, then transfer the composition and press well. Turn the mould over, hammer the top and press gently to release the product.
If you have a dedicated mould for bath bombs then fill the two halves and press together. Remove the ball from the mould immediately after pressing.

For this recipe we worked with two small glass bowls - which can be found at any hypermarket in the crockery aisle.
In one of the bowls (or both) we put a few salt crystals and then fill it a little over capacity, pressing down with the palm of our hand lightly. Fill the second bowl as well, press down with the palm of your hand, then combine the two bowls and press down firmly. The whole of the prepared quantity should go into the 2 glass bowls. After pressing, gently tap the top bowl, remove it carefully without twisting, then the other bowl as well.

Options and explanations:

  • instead of the essential oils and vegetable oils given in the recipe, other oils can be used, according to preference
  • versions containing surfactant are foaming and do not leave an oily film on the bath
  • cosmetic pigments can be used for colouring, a small amount is included in phase A
  • to obtain vivid colours, bath bombs can also be coloured with the dyes in our offer, only in the versions containing vodka/alcohol. One drop per 100 g of product, included in phase B, is sufficient (it will not dissolve, but can be sufficiently dispersed by vigorous mixing).

    Buna seara. Bombele de baie se pot crapa si din cauza faptului ca am pus mult mai mult ulei mentionat in reteta?
    Multumesc
    • Elemental

      Elemental 03/19/2022

      Bună ziua! Da, din păcate se pot crăpa sau se sfarmă dacă folosiți mai mult ulei sau alt lichid.
  • Elena Ardelean-Manolache

    Elena Ardelean-Manolache 02/21/2022

    Bună seara, forme pentru Bath bombs nu o să aduceți? Chiar forme diverse și interesante.
    Mulțumesc!
  • Stefania

    Stefania 07/23/2018

    Buna ziua!
    Am facut si eu aceste bombe de baie dupa reteta cu sare de himalaya, dar dupa uscare au fost sfarmicioase. Ce ma sfatuiti sa fac pentru urmatoarele bombe? Multumesc!

    • Elemental

      Elemental 07/24/2018

      Bună ziua, Stefania. În funcţie de gradul de umiditate al ingredientelor dar şi al mediului în care se prepară şi usucă acest tip de produs, este nevoie de adăugarea de puţin alcool diluat sau chiar apă. Aceste bombe de baie sunt reţete simple, dar pe parcursul preparării dacă nu se nimereşte bine textura şi nu se compactează corect, se pot transforma în eşec. Deci, de regulă, necesită puţină experimentare. Toate cele bune!

    Buna tuturor! Cantitatile specificate in reteta sunt pentru o singura bomba de baie? Daca da, ce gramaj are bomba rezultate? Multumesc!

    • Elemental

      Elemental 04/16/2018

      Bună ziua. Așa cum am specificat și în tabelele cu ingrediente, cantitățile sunt date pentru câte o bucată de 100 gr. În funcție de mărimea formei/matriței cu care lucrați, ajustați proporțional cantitățile folosite. Numai bine!

    Buna seara, am facut una din retete, cea cu ulei de grapefruit si sare Himalaya, dar au iesit cam faramicioase bombele. Nu cred ca maine, dupa ce se vor usca, pot fi impachetate. Cantitatea de lichid a fost insuficienta, cred, adica compozitia trebuia sa fie mai umeda la framantat, si pus in forma. Nu s-au legat suficient, si cauza nu a fost presarea in forme.

    Buna ziua! In retetele de Bubble Bar am intalnit Cream of Tartar , se poate inlocuii cu amidon de prumb fara sa aiba efecte adverse sau alte lucruri?

    • Elemental

      Elemental 11/24/2017

      Bună ziua. Nu am lucrat până acum cu Cream of Tartar, și nu vă putem sfătui în acest sens, dar puteți încerca eventual să testați pe o cantitate mică de produs, folosind amidon de porumb.

  • Barbu

    Barbu 11/15/2017

    Aveti si reteta de Bubble Bar? Sau macar, se poate folosii Tensida SCI sau SCS? Care dintre ele ar fii mai buna? Chiar vreau sa vad o reteta de Bubble Bar! <3

    • Elemental

      Elemental 11/16/2017

      Pentru acest tip de produse se folosesc tenside ce se dizolvă ușor și repede în apă, cum ar fi SLSA sau tensida de cocos pudră.

      • Barbu

        Barbu 11/16/2017

        Aveti SLSA pe site? Sau LSS? Si in retetele de Bubble Bar am intalnit Cream of Tartar , pot inlocuii cu amidon de prumb??

  • Barbu

    Barbu 11/15/2017

    Vreau sa vad si eu o reteta de Bubble Bar, chiar as vrea sa-mi fac asa ceva! Lucrati la una?

      Deocamdată nu avem în agendă o astfel de formulă, dar am notat sugestia dvs.

    Am vazut ca aveti mai multe retete de bath bombs cu Bicarbonat de Na + Acid citric. Ce Ph are produsul final? Nu afecteaza pHul pielii, mai ales in contact cu apa de la retea (pH variabil)? Efectul efervescent este intr-adevar interesant, dar totusi un soc la nivelul pielii se simte - mai ales intepaturile de la bicarbonat. Aceleasi probleme ca si in cazul sampoanelor sau produselor pentru fata compuse din bicarbonat si un acid, fie el citric sau acetic.

    • Elemental

      Elemental 09/05/2017

      La produsele de tip ”bath bombs” nu se poate măsura pH-ul deoarece nu conțin apă. Aceste produse sunt formulate cu un raport tipic de bicarbonat/acid citric de 2 la 1, pentru a obține efervescența și în același timp echilibra pH-ul atunci când se introduc în apă.
      O diluție în apă dintr-un amestec de bicarbonat+acid citric de 10% are un pH de aproximativ 8, ceea ce este în regulă. Dacă socotim o bilă de baie la o cadă cu volum mediu, diluția este de aproximativ 0,1%, ceea ce nu influențează prea mult pH-ul apei din cadă. Prin urmare, este departe de a se crea un ”șoc” la nivelul pielii, indiferent de pH-ul bilei și a apei de la rețea.
      În ce privește sampoanele și alte cosmetice, dacă sunt formulate corect, nu prezintă probleme din privința pH-ului, chiar dacă au în compoziție bicarbonat de sodiu sau acid citric ori lactic - ingrediente dozate în procente mici și folosite tocmai pentru reglarea pH-ului.

    Felicitari pentru noile retete. Ne pregatiti, va rog si ceva cu sare epson? Sau ce pot modifica la retetele de mai sus pentru a introduce acest ingredient? Multumesc frumos.

    • Elemental

      Elemental 09/05/2017

      Daniela, la aceste rețete se poate include doar puțină sare epsom, scăzând corespunzător din bicarbonat și acidul citric. În general, nu este indicată folosirea sării epsom în acest tip de formule deoarece atrage umezeala din ambient și se pornește procesul de efervescență înainte ca bila de baie să ajungă în apă.
      În fișa produslui la sarea epsom găsiți indicații privind cum se poate folosi, nu neaparat aveți nevoie de rețetă.
      O zi minunată!
