Question
What ingredient should be used to make bath bombs foam? I've heard Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) powder is used; do you sell it, and what is the recommended usage percentage?
Answer
Foaming Agents for Bath Bombs
To make bath bombs produce foam, you need to use a foaming agent or surfactant. While Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) is a common option, there are other gentle alternatives available that are suitable for bath bombs.
We have the following foaming agents that can be used:
- IseFoam™ (Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate): This is a very gentle detergent that produces good foam and is commonly used in bath bombs. The recommended usage rate is 1-15%.
- Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Taurate (Powder, 95%): Another gentle detergent derived from amino acids, it also provides good lather. The recommended usage rate is 5-30%.
Both of these ingredients can help create the desired foaming effect in your bath bombs.
