Danielle, I don’t see why not. I would use a gel paste instead of a liquid coloring so it doesn’t dilute the mixture. I would keep the color very light. Since the amount of water the bath bomb goes into I don’t think there would be a problem with dying the skin. If you try it would you please let me know? Thanks!

Can you add color to these? If so what would you use? Food coloring?

I am making these for my bridesmaids as gifts. The wedding isnt for another 5 weeks. If I go ahead and make them will they last or will they lose their fizz?

I used witch hazel to mist them instead of water….worked very well. I made these for gifts and for personal use many years ago, and they were a big hit.
