Tutorials on soapmaking, bath fizzies, lotions and more
The mica tutorial series ended with a golden hue. Midas Touch Bath Bombs covered with King’s Gold Mica leave a subtle shimmer on the skin. In addition to fizzing in the tub, the bath bombs have cocoa butter and meadowfoam oil to moisturize your skin. They will make your tub smell like a mimosa from a combination of Champagne Fragrance Oil and Orange Grove Fragrance Oil.
If you’re looking for a super luxurious bath experience, these Midas Touch Bath Bombs are the project for you! Covered in King’s Gold Mica, these bath bombs fill the tub with gold shimmer and leave sparkle on the skin. Cocoa butter is added to the dry ingredients to create a barrier on the skin that helps retain and restore moisture. Meadowfoam oil is also used for its moisturizing and non-greasy feel. They are scented with a combination of Champagne Fragrance Oil and Orange Peel Cybilla Fragrance Oil to create a bubbly and fruity mixture that smells just like a mimosa! Watch these bath bombs in action via the video at the bottom of the post.
This bath bomb project takes a little bit of extra time, but the results are worth it. The fizzies need to first dry and harden in the mold for 24 hours. Once completely firm, they are removed from the mold and spritzed with 99% isopropyl alcohol. While slightly damp from the alcohol, the fizzies are rolled in mica for a smooth and shiny appearance. These fizzies are not exactly for the faint of heart; they fill the tub and water with plenty of sparkle (and by ‘plenty‘, I mean, that your skin will be shimmering and glowing with gold sparkle). While the mica does not stain the tub, it will leave sparkle “residue” that will wash away after a few showers or a quick scrub. They do pack a powerful punch of skin-loving oils which can (and does) leave your tub oily so be careful when exiting the tub!
