  Foaming bath bomb

  Posted by Chass on February 10, 2015 at 9:12 am

  Hi,

  Is there a way to formulate a bath bomb that give nice flash foam without giving any agitation to the water?

  Since I avoid using SLS and I can’t find any SLSA (sodium lauryl sulfoacetate) in my hometown, I have tried SCI (sodium cocoyl isethionate) but it doesn’t work well.

  PS. I choose SCI because it’s a powder.

  Thanks

  I live in Thailand.

  Here is the formulation:

  1. Sodium bicarbonate 45
  2. Citric acid 45
  3. SCI 5
  4. NaCl 2
  5. Explotab 2
  6. Olive oil 1

  I tried to use SCI more than 5% but it make the bath bomb less fizzy. and I use olive oil as a binder, then I press the mixing ingredient in a mould.
