Formulation & Inventory Software for Bath Bomb Makers
Bath bombs, fizzies, soaks & bath products
Overview
Bath bomb and bath-product makers juggle a long list of cheap-but-fiddly raw materials — baking soda, citric acid, SLSA, fragrance oils, colorants, and molds — across dozens of scent and color variants. The cost of any single bomb is tiny, which is exactly why it is so easy to underprice: a few cents of mispriced fragrance load or wasted colorant, multiplied across a craft-fair table of stock, is the difference between profit and a long day for nothing. Ardent Seller tracks every ingredient by weight, stores each formulation as a scalable recipe with a precise fragrance load, manages scent × size variants without SKU chaos, and calculates the true cost of every bomb including the shrink wrap, label, and packaging. Batch records and cure/dry times keep quality consistent, and per-channel sales tracking keeps your counts right across markets, your shop, and wholesale.
Common Challenges
- Costing low-price-point products where pennies of material decide the margin
- Dialing in fragrance load and colorant amounts per batch
- Managing many scent and size variants of the same base formula
- Tracking cure and dry times so bombs hold together
- Buying raw materials in bulk but selling by the unit
- Keeping counts straight across craft fairs, your shop, and wholesale

Cost Per Bomb
Roll raw materials, shrink wrap, label, and packaging into every unit cost so even a low-price-point product turns a real margin.

Batch & Cure Records
Log batches with cure and dry times so quality stays consistent and you can trace any issue back to its run.
Bulk-to-Unit Tracking
Buy baking soda and citric acid by the bag and track usage by the gram — Ardent Seller converts units automatically.

Candle Maker's Cost Math: Wax, Fragrance Load, and the Per-Candle Price That Actually Works
Most candle makers price their jars by glancing at what the booth next door charges and rounding up. Meanwhile the math underneath — wax yield, fragrance load percentages, wick and vessel cost, the wholesale fragrance oil that spoiled because nobody tracked its shelf life — is quietly setting a floor that most sellers are charging below. Here is how to cost a candle from the wax up, walk through three real pricing scenarios, and land on a per-candle number you can defend.
