• The powder was stored in an airtight container. The required quantity of powder was packed in the thimble.
• The thimble was placed in the Soxhlet apparatus.
• Solvent was added into the bottom flask and the extraction was carried out for 6–8 hours.
• The extract was collected from the Soxhlet apparatus.
• The solvent was evaporated using a water bath and the concentrated Clitoria ternatea Flower Extract was obtained.
• The Clitoria ternatea Flower Extract was stored at 4, °C for use.

 

 

How Does Bath Bomb Work

A bath bomb works through a simple acid-base chemical reaction that triggers as soon as it hits the water.

The Fizzing Reaction The core of every bath bomb consists of two key dry ingredients: baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and citric acid.

Dry State: In their powdered form, these ingredients are inert and do not react with each other.

Activation: When dropped into a tub, the water acts as a catalyst, dissolving the powders and allowing their molecules to mix.

Result: The acid and base react to create carbon dioxide gas. This gas forms the millions of tiny bubbles that create the signature "fizz".

FORMULATION OF HERBAL BATH BOMB

PROCEDURE

1. First we need to make the Butterfly Pea Powder. We do this by grinding the dried Butterfly Pea flowers into a fine powder. We can use a blender or a mortar and pestle to do this.

2. Next we mix the ingredients together. We take a bowl and whisk together the baking soda, citric acid, Epsom salts, cornstarch and the Butterfly Pea Powder we just made.

3. Now we mix the ingredients together. We take a bowl and mix the carrier oil and essential oils together.

4. Then we slowly add the ingredients to the dry ingredients. We must whisk all the time so that the mixture does not start to fizz soon.

5. After that we add the Witch Hazel to the mixture. We spray the Witch Hazel into the mixture while we mix it with our hands. The mixture is ready when it sticks together when we squeeze it. It should feel like sand that's just a little bit wet.

6. Next we put the mixture into the bath bomb moulds. We fill both halves of the moulds with the mixture. Then press them together to make a sphere. We must press them together firmly. We must not twist them.

7. Then we let the bath bombs dry. We take them out of the moulds. Put them on a tray that has parchment paper on it. We let them dry for 24 to 48 hours, in a dry place.

8. Finally we store the bath bombs in a container that's airtight. We do this when they are completely hard.
