Re: bath bombs turned brown

Jacqui,

It is more likely your fragrance oil. Many have vanilla or similar

properties that will change the color.

Yes I did use a vanilla FO but I didnt think it would turn brown

because it is a clear color

I have with good sucess. I do add a 1/2 tsp of pelleted beeswax though. For

some reason my lotion is thinner if I substitute.

if you use ascorbic acid instead of citric acid they will most

definitely turn brown! some of the recipes say ascorbic acid works -

but when I tried it, I got swamp water bombs!

Hi all. If a recipe calls for honey, can glycerine be substituted(not

related to my other question)? I am looking at a bunch of lovely

sounding recipes, but the few I have made containing honey leave an odd

smell on my skin within about 10 minutes. Same problem I had with

lotions containing lecithin. Thanks for the wisdom everyone!
