While I am waiting for my new formula cold-processed soap to cure for testing, I've gone back to tweaking my bath bomb recipe.
|
Every day I'm hustlin'... |
I've mostly liked what I've been doing for the past year with them, but they still needed some more attention to get to that "Perfect Bath Bomb". Like that "Perfect Bar of Soap," it takes time with many, many, many experiments and testing in between. I'm SO close.
Anyway, I'm also SUPER excited to use my
new biodegradable shrink wrap system I got for Christmas.

Upping my shrink wrap game from 10-to-1 million |
I was able to wrap 100 bars of soap in less than an hour with this baby! In the past, this would have taken me hours...like an hour just to wrap 15 bars of soap! It's especially great for bath bombs which are notoriously a pain in the arse.
|
100 bars of soap in 15 minutes....DONE! |
On top of all that, the shrink wrap I'm using is BIODEGRADABLE! How awesome, right? I always hated the thought of making such an amazing, natural product only to package it in environment-harming PVC. Ultimately, I will be putting my soaps in boxes and this will be primarily used for bath bombs and tamper-sealing lotions, body butters, etc.

Soaping responsively for the environment |
Speaking of body butters. I made a Valentine's inspired citrus soap to go with my
Bombalicious Body Butter. It smells out of this world! I made it in the same pink grapefruit, tangerine, and lemon fragrance blend.
But a funny thing called a "gel ring" happened when it was setting up. You can see where the color morphed from the right-to-the-left . It went from grapefruit pink to a natural soap/yellow color. It's all good...it actually kind of looks cool!

What it's supposed to look like...oh well |
