Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about choosing and using Essentially Natural ingredients.

Can I use essential oils in bath bombs?

Yes, but they should be used carefully and in small, skin-appropriate amounts. Essential oils should not be used internally, and extra care is needed for children, pregnancy, and sensitive skin.

Why are my bath bombs crumbling or not holding their shape?

This usually means the mixture is too dry or not packed firmly enough. A light, even spritzing and firm pressing into the mould can help improve the final texture.

Can I add dried flowers or botanicals to my bath bombs?

Yes, but use them sparingly. Large pieces can affect how smoothly the bath bomb holds together and may leave plant matter in the bath that needs to be rinsed away afterwards.

Can I colour bath bombs with natural ingredients?

Yes, ingredients like clays and certain plant-based powders can add natural colour. The final shade may be softer and less uniform than synthetic colourants, so small test batches are helpful.

How long should bath bombs dry before I use or wrap them?

Most bath bombs need time to dry fully so they can harden properly. Drying time depends on the recipe and humidity, but they are usually left to dry overnight or for about 24 hours.
