Why is my bath bomb soft? If your bath bomb is soft, the mixture may have too much moisture. If you add too much witch hazel or oil during the mixing process, add more dry ingredients to balance the texture. If you live in a humid, wet climate, the moisture in the air can prevent the bath bombs from becoming hard.
Why are my homemade bath bombs falling apart?

What kind of food coloring do you use for bath bombs?
If coloring your bath bombs, use a few drops of food coloring to achieve the desired shade. I used paste gel food coloring which is very concentrated and only needed a small squeeze to get the shades I wanted. Knead well to distribute color.
