Hi can you omit the SLS on the frosting ? Thank you
Good morning, Mariella!
You can omit the SLS (or use the more natural alternative, SLSA) in your frosting but it isn’t going to be as bubbly and foamy in the bathtub without it.
Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate (SLSA): http://www.brambleberry.com/Sodium-Lauryl-Sulfoacetate-SLSA-P5244.aspx

Just tried the bath bomb cupcakes. Used the SLS I got from Brambleberry and my cupcakes turned out horrible. The Bomb was okay, but the frosting was a runny mess with lumps of SLS.
Hi Melissa!
It sounds like the frosting was a little too wet in your batch, if you add a bit of powdered sugar that should help it right out!
-Becky with Bramble Berry
I tried adding more powder sugar, more cream of tarter and it was the consistency of bisquick…not sure what happened but it appears to be “growing” in the bowl. Maybe It will harden, because it looks like a pink cloud.
Just wanted to say, my frosting did the same thing. very lumpy, and did not hold its form… it kept expanding. I added more powdered sugar and it didn’t help. bumbed
whoops… I meant bombed lol
Hi Tricia!
I’m sorry to hear that your bath bombs are giving you so much frustration. Which recipe are you working with? I’d be happy to help you troubleshoot! =)
-Becky with Bramble Berry
I had the same problem. I added more powdered sugar till it could hold form. I just tried them after letting them sit for a couple weeks and the icing did not break up in the bath. It just stayed a hard clump. I followed instructions printed in the cupcake bath bomb kit and the video tutorial. Thanks for your help!
Hi Tiffanie!
The frosting in the cupcake bath bombs doesn’t actually break up like the fizzies do and you can actually use it as fun scrub or let it dissolve while you take your luxurious bath. Sometimes it even lasts longer than one bath. =)

I made the tiger striped bath bombs for my soap club and it was amazing!!
Thanks for all these great recipes you post! Do you happen to have any face mask recipes on your website? I would love to have some for my sleepover
You have a soap club? That is so awesome, we’d love to hear more about it. We actually do have a couple of facial mask recipes that you could try out:

(And also for the bath bomb with the tattoo I went to any bakery store and got some edible cake tattoos and I put them on soap too <3)
Such a good idea! =)
