Other Additions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There are a number of other products you can choose to add to this bath truffles base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remember that as you add more dry ingredients, you may need to add extra oil to keep your truffles from getting too dry.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nMica Powder<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
If you’d like to make your truffles different colors, you can use 1 tsp of colored mica powder<\/strong> per batch of this recipe. Mica powder will not dye your skin, so this is a low key way to add a little fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\nSodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Also known as SLSA, this chemical is a gentle cleanser. It will also cause your bath truffles to bubble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The original recipe is not designed to clean your body, merely to hydrate, soothe, and moisturize. If you’d like to play around with turning this recipe into cleansing bubble bath truffles, you can add 1 oz of SLSA <\/strong>to the base recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCitric Acid + Baking Soda<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Bring on the fizz! Citric acid and baking soda is the ingredient combination that causes bath bombs to have their characteristic dramatic fizzing when they hit the water. If you’d like to make effervescent bath truffles, you can add 1\/2 tablespoon citric acid and 1 tablespoon baking soda <\/strong>to the mixture before forming it into balls.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFYI, baking soda is also called sodium bicarbonate, or bicarbonate of soda. These terms are interchangeable!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

How do I store my bath truffles?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Once your bath truffles have completely dried<\/strong> — you MUST give them at least 48 hours — you can wrap them and store them in an airtight container.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTake plastic wrap and wrap each ball tightly<\/strong>, sealing it. This keeps the truffle from drying out and crumbling up. It also keeps all that lovely hydration inside!<\/p>\n\n\n\nOnce the truffles are wrapped, you can place them into an airtight container<\/strong>, like a Ziploc bag or a snap-top container.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTruffles will keep for 2-4 months<\/strong> at room temperature, wrapped, and sealed in an airtight container.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBath truffles should NOT be frozen. They do not recover well from the defrosting process.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
