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.
