Bath bomb disaster led to a creative spark.
Hi there, my name is Molly and I'm the creator behind Spa Alchemy. I'm a chemist turned mad bath scientist that loves to be creative! My handmade bath product adventure started out as a craft activity with my kids that went horribly awry (our bath bombs expanded like giant marshmallows on our first attempt!). I was so frustrated after trying to mold them, just to have them explode out of the molds a few minutes later. I became determined to create a recipe that actually worked.
My kids have always loved bath bombs, but most store bought bombs are usually small, their fragrance is weak, and they don't color the water very well. I set out to perfect my recipe for bath bombs to include these desirable elements, but avoid any unnecessary or "filler" ingredients. I've found that my chemistry background has really helped me to create high quality products with safe ingredients for both kids and adults.
After spending several months perfecting my bath bomb recipe, I started tinkering with melt and pour soap, and I haven't looked back. I have so much fun trying out new recipes and products and I love getting the chance to be creative again. Though I enjoy making everything in my shop, creating colorful and fun products for kids is probably my favorite part! My own children really help to inspire many of my product ideas.
You'll find here at Spa Alchemy that my line of products is ever changing and growing, so there's always a little something for everybody. I hope you will enjoy these products as much as I enjoy creating them!
