Can You Make Bath Bombs Without Citric Acid?

Do bath bombs fizz without citric acid? Three bath bomb recipes without citric acid are tested - bath bombs made with lemon juice, cream of tartar and cornstarch. Do they fizz?
The combination of lemon juice and baking soda created minimal fizz, and created yellow streaks. Cream of tartar bath bombs created a little more fizz, but not much. Cornstarch bath bombs had no fizz, and created a gloopy texture in the water. The texture of all three bath bomb recipes with alternative ingredients were crumbly, and hard to work with. Bath bombs work best with a combination of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and citric acid.
