How to Use Them in Your Bath Bombs

Start by preparing your citric acid, bicarbonate of soda and your chosen fragrance oils. Once these are well mixed, add the glow-in-the-dark pigment to the mixture. A good rule of thumb is to use approximately 1% of the total weight of your dry ingredients; this ensures a bright glow without affecting the texture of your bath bomb.

Next, combine your wet ingredients and gradually add them to the dry mixture while stirring continuously to avoid fizzing. Once combined, pack your mixture into moulds and allow them to dry for 24-48 hours. When ready, test the glow by charging the bath bombs under light and turning off the lights to see them shine.
