We found that there was a significant need to store these bombs properly to keep their sparkle and fizz. Your golden creations will stay fresh for 6-12 months with proper storage. Here’s what works best:

Glass jars or mylar bags with heat sealing make excellent containers. Keep them away from direct sunlight in airtight containers. The ideal storage space should be cool and dry, with temperatures below 20°C (68°F).

Safety Note: Natural mica-based glitters are our only choice because they break down naturally and protect marine life. Traditional plastic glitters can harm the environment and take thousands of years to decompose.

FAQs

Q1. What are the basic ingredients needed to make a bath bomb?
The essential ingredients for a basic bath bomb are baking soda, citric acid, and a liquid binder like water or oil. Additional ingredients like essential oils, colorants, and moisturizing agents can be added for extra benefits and effects.

Q2. How long do homemade bath bombs typically last?
When stored properly in airtight containers away from moisture and direct sunlight, homemade bath bombs can last anywhere from 6 months to a year. However, for optimal fizzing action, it’s best to use them within 2-3 months of creation.

Q4. What’s the best liquid to use when making bath bombs?
