Thank you so much for your advice. I tried contacting a few manufacturers, they probably are too big and they require very large scale which is way above my budget at the moment so I’m looking for some smaller manufacturers who are willing to work with me according to the stage i’m at right now, but it’s hard to find any. That’s why I’m considering doing it myself but I have a lot to learn, I don’t mind if it takes a long time and lots efforts to learn and make it right. Are you able to give some guidances on the tests required? I haven’t done any of that. But I did make a few batches of basic lotion and been testing it on myself and my friends, it’s been working well.
Btw, UL prospector actually just approved my account, but as you mentioned I might not be able to order the ingredients from the suppliers.Sophie

@Colorfuljulie I should really try a dehumidifier, even not for the bath bombs, I will still use it to collect water for consumption ? It’s crazy how humid it is, a bucket of water after a few hours…
thank you for all the tips. -
I’m back with some result from the experiment. So I tried coating each ingredients separately with oil as suggested, though it still had reaction.
Then I tried using sodium carbonate instead of sodium bicarbonate for one batch and for another batch I baked sodium carbonate for another half an hour, both batches had the reaction the same even though it seemed to be slower than when I used sodium bicarbonate.I wonder if the issue is as David mentioned that the evironment has to be perfect, the facility’s low humidity, better packaging etc, if that’s the case, I will try my best but I don’t have the mean to do it in a better facility than my house. Thank you for the helpful details about how to different ingredients.
Otherwise, if the case is that regardless of what I do, these 2 ingredients still react. My only and best option is try Gunther’s suggestion by using a divider which seems very complicated ? because if my product is all in one jar, I don’t know how I would do it, do you have any suggestions what kind of divider I could use? Or do I have to pack the acid separately?
I appreciate all of your guys’ guidance.

I appreciate the informative response. So they react with each other regardless, I was afraid that that was the reason, but i’m glad I got the answer for that because I couldn’t understand why. I might eventually just have to remove one of them from my formula then, because it would be complicated to sell it separately. But I will experiment all the options given first and see.

Yeah I usually mix all the dry ingredients first. I will try next batch with oil coating as your suggestion and see. Thank you

Hi Gunther, Thank you for your response. Encapsulate one of the ingredients sounds very interesting and new to me. I googled it a bit but couldn’t find how I would do it.
