Q: I’ve made some bath bombs, but I must be doing something wrong…when dry, they have lots of cracks all over them…please help!

A: Bath bombs can be tricky; luckily, it sounds like you are following all the right steps. I would just make sure you are packing the bath bombs REALLY WELL! I have found this to be the ultimate secret for hard, long-lasting bath bombs. When I have a bath bomb that crumbles beyond repair, I put the crumbs in a jar or plastic bag and have Fizzing Bath Sprinkles! What does your citric acid look like? We had some customers that were using a coarse grade citric acid and they were having problems with the bath fizzies sticking together. With a coarse citric acid, I have found that using equal parts baking soda and citric acid works better than my normal recipe (2 parts baking soda and 1 part citric acid). I hope these ideas help!
