Hi all once again I'm not sure if translating from US to Aussie is correct. the recipe for bath fizzies says to use corn starch, is this the same as corn flour do you think? Also the witch hazel is that what you can find in the chemist or something different?
Thanks!

Yes, cornstarch is the same as corn flour according to Wikipedia. Just make sure that you don't buy corn meal which is different and used for making corn bread, tortillas and grits.

And yes, witch hazel can be found at the chemist, or drugstore as we call it here.

Hope this helps!

Ok, I'm not having any luck finding corn starch. There's plenty of corn flour. Any suggestions as to what could replace this in a recipe. How are other Aussie's making bath bombs if the ingredients are so hard to find ? Also the little jar of Citric acid I bought will maybe do 1/2 a bomb, it's teeny. Where are ppl getting their goodies I ask!

Citric acid is also called sour salt. You might find it in the canning section or maybe in bulk at your local health food store.
If you have a coffee grinder, you might be able to grind the flour fine enough to use.
