found some in a small chemist 50p for 50g seemed ok as I needed less than 25g to make one bath bomb. It was yummy when I used it last night, I put red rose petals in and red coloring as well as essential oils. Will definitley make more for presents.

I also made lip gloss from vaseline/colour/essential ols and is scrummy especially kept in the fridge!

If you can't get citric acid, cream of tartar also produces an acceptable fizz when mixed with bicarb and water.

update ... it's 70p for 100 grams in 'my' Halal shop




I was afraid to ask about buying in bulk in case I got arrested

I am advised by my local branch of Boots that citric acid originally could only be bought through chemists. However, the government has now re-licensed it to be sold by supermarkets. I was told you should find it on their home baking shelves.
Having said that, neither of my local supermarkets were in fact stocking it.
I eventually found some at a branch of Lloyds Pharmacy, but I tried two others in the same chain before getting lucky!
Hope this is of some help.

I got a great big bag last year from a wine shop via the internet
