I'm so torn on where to buy my colorants for bath bombs. I'm looking everywhere but I just keep finding mica powders but I heard that they stain tubs and skin. So where do I go from there? I definitely don't want to use food coloring. Any links would be lots of help.

Go to brambleberry.com and get their LaBomb colorants.

Those are made using FD&C and and D&C dyes. You could use mica to color your bath fizzies though! There is more info on both the LaBombs and making/coloring fizzies in this post; http://www.soapqueen.com/bath-and-body- ... s-answers/

I just add the dry mica to the rest of the mixture and blend until they are completely combined. Yes, powdered colorants can leave color on your tub and on your skin, I just use a small amount of colorant if using mica. Larger particle colorants like pigments tend to stain worse. I do prefer LaBombs, but micas are my next go to. There is some great info in that article I posted!
