How To Get Bath Bombs Out Of Molds

 Dec 29,2022

Bath bombs, also known as bath fizzers, are dry ingredients that are designed to effervesce once in contact with warm water. Once it hits the water, it releases Essential Oils, scents, colours, and bubbles to elevate your bath experience. Bath bombs can help condition the skin and soothe sore muscles. Additionally, they may help detox and relax the body and mind. A bath bomb or bath fizzy is a consumer product used during bathing. It was invented and patented in 1989 by Mo Constantine, co-founder of Lush Cosmetics. It is a compacted mixture of wet and dry ingredients moulded into several shapes and then dried. Bath water effervesces at the surface of a bath bomb immersed within it, with attendant dispersion of such ingredients as essential oil, moisturizer, scent, or colourant.

To follow a DIY bath bomb recipe, you’ll need a few basic supplies. These include:

Baking soda/baking powder
Citric acid
Cornstarch
Epsom salt
Food coloring
Cocoa butter
Parchment paper/paper towels
Fragrance oil, mineral oil or essential oils
Mould for bath bombs to create the ball shape (silicone moulds are best, but you can get metal bath bomb moulds, or stainless steel bath bomb moulds too)
Water
Bath bomb makers kit (if you don’t do the bath bomb recipe entirely yourself)

Making bath fizzies is a relatively simple process, and will add enjoyment to your bath time, but there are a few things you’ll need to do to ensure your bombs turn out perfectly. Here’s a quick overview of the steps you’ll need to take:
1. Combine the dry ingredients. Mix the baking soda, citric acid, cornstarch, and Epsom salt in a large bowl.
2. Add the wet ingredients. Slowly add the water, food colouring, and fragrance oil or essential oils to the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is evenly mixed.
3. Pack the bath bomb mixture into the moulds. Use your hands or a spoon to pack the mixture tightly so the bombs hold their shape.
4. Let the wet ingredients in the bath bombs dry. The bombs should dry in the moulds for 24 hours before being used.
5. Enjoy! Once the bath bombs are dry, they’re ready to use. Drop one into your tub and enjoy!

After you’ve mixed your ingredients together and spooned the mixture into moulds, it’s time to let the bath bombs set. The length of time this takes will vary depending on the size, shape, and depth of your moulds.
However, as a general rule, you should allow the bath bombs to be set for at least 24 hours. This will give them enough time to harden and achieve the desired shape.
After 24 hours, carefully remove the bath bombs from their moulds and store them in an airtight container. When they’re submerged in water, they’ll fizz and dissolve, releasing their aromatic essential oils into the air.

Don't overpack the mould; leave room for easy removal.
Use the proper moisture level - not too wet or dry.
Apply a release agent like oil or cooking spray.
Use a flexible silicone mould for easy release.
Try different recipes until you find one that works well.
Open the mould slightly early before it fully hardens.
Place the mould in the freezer briefly to help release it.
Gently tap on the mould to loosen it.
Carefully press out the bath bomb if needed.
Be patient and keep practising - making bath bombs takes skill.
