I made bath bombs the other day and have let them set for 48 hours. I've made them lots of time before and they've always come out fine, but these are sort of soft and crumbly. After racking my brain trying to figure out where I went wrong, I realized I completely forgot to add citric acid! Not one of my smartest moments. :oops:

I'm wondering though...does anyone know if I can somehow salvage this situation? Can I mash up the bombs I made, add the citric acid, and then reform them? Or do I just need to chuck what I've done and start all over again? Thanks, I appreciate the help!

Can you crumble them back up, add the citric, mix well and sell as limited edition bath powder instead?

Hi Irena,
The person I was making them for really loves bath bombs, I don't think she would be nearly as happy with bath powder

If I crumble them, add the citric, then reformed with witch hazel do you think it would work?
