Pinwheel Body Bombs

About This Recipe:

Bath bombs are no longer just for the bath! Now you can take a shower and use a bath bomb too! This "body bomb" fizzes when water is added allowing a creamy foam to emerge. Use this foam to wash with leaving a silky, soft feel to the skin. This "body bomb" is similar to a popular brand currently on the market. Break the body bomb in half and get twice as much foamy fun.

Directions:

NOTE: If you are making these products for sale, good manufacturing practices recommend you wear a hairnet, gloves and a mask. We also recommend a clean apron and workspace.

1. (We recommend using a mask when working with lathanol powder.  It is a very fine powder and becomes airborne very quickly.)
2. This recipe is made in two batches to make all 6 body bombs.
3. Grind citric acid in a coffee grinder to make the powder finer.
4. To large mixing bowl add 3.50 oz. Baking Soda and 2.0 oz. ground Citric Acid. If necessary, break up any clumps in the mixture. 
5. Add 2.30 oz. Bubble Cake Hardener, 0.75 oz. Arrowroot Powder and 0.80 oz. Lathanol. Whisk ingredients until well blended. Set aside. 
6. If Coconut 76 oil is solid, place bottle in hot water until completely melted. 
7. To dry mixture, add 0.20 oz. Coconut 76 Oil, 0.30 oz. Bubble Up, 0.20 oz. fragrance and 0.20 oz. Isopropyl Myristate. Mix well with gloved hands until completely incorporated.
8. Add 10 drops of Ocean Blue liquid dye to mixture and blend in well. Add up to 40 drops total for darker shade but more than this will add too much liquid to the mixture.
9. Place plastic mold on cookie sheet. Fill all five cavities evenly with the mixture. Should the mixture start to rise, simply push down on each pinwheel when this happens until it stops expanding.
10. Let completely harden for at least two hours or preferably overnight. Remove from mold and set aside.
11. Repeat above steps to make second set of body bombs, if desired.
12. Package one body bomb in cello bag and tie with raffia or package as desired. 
13. Label product accordingly.

To Use: Hold body bomb in hand and add small amount of warm water. Bomb will start to fizz up and create a creamy foam that is used to wash with. Entire body bomb should be used per shower. If desired, break in half and use one half per shower.
