Bath bombs have taken the world of self care by storm, making ordinary bath time an enchanting and sensory experience. The mesmerising fizz, delightful colours, and aromatic scents create an oasis of relaxation and rejuvenation. But have you ever wondered what gives bath bombs their fizzy effect?

The Key Ingredients

At the heart of every bath bomb lies the combination of citric acid and baking soda. When these two ingredients mix with water, a chemical reaction occurs, releasing carbon dioxide gas, and voilà, the fizzing spectacle begins. The effervescent display adds a touch of magic to your bath, making it a delightful treat for your senses.

Let's take a closer look at these ingredients.

• Citric Acid:

As mentioned earlier, citric acid is a key player in creating the fizziness of bath bombs. This weak organic acid is not only responsible for the fizz but also plays a crucial role in enhancing the overall bathing experience. Apart from its fizzy properties, citric acid acts as a natural preservative, helping to extend the shelf life of bath bombs. Its ability to neutralise alkaline substances in the water also contributes to the softening and conditioning of the skin, leaving it feeling smooth and hydrated.

• Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda):

Baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, is a versatile ingredient used in various bath and beauty products. Beyond its role in the fizzing reaction with citric acid, baking soda boasts numerous skin benefits. It acts as a gentle exfoliator, removing dead skin cells and impurities, while also helping to balance the skin's pH levels. The alkaline nature of baking soda can soothe irritated skin and promote a sense of relaxation during your bath.

Apart from citric acid and sodium bicarbonate, there are numerous other ingredients used in bath bombs. Let's take a closer look at these ingredients.

• Essential Oils and Fragrances:

The wellbeing effect together with pleasant scent of bath bombs come from the addition of essential oils infused in our bath bombs. These natural aromatic compounds not only infuse your bath with delightful scents but also offer a range of therapeutic benefits. For example, lavender essential oil is renowned for its calming properties, perfect for a relaxing and soothing bath before bedtime. Neroli essential oil can boost your mood and refresh your mind, making it an excellent choice for a morning pick-me-up bath.

• Colorants:

Natural colorants, such as plant or vegetable powders, play a crucial role not only in making bath bombs visually appealing but also in providing wellbeing and skin benefits. We only use natural colorants, such as beetroot powder or spirulina, in our bath bombs, providing real wellbeing. If you prefer natural options, check out our bath bombs coloured with plant-based extracts and botanicals.

• Moisturising Ingredients:

In addition to creating a fizzy display, bath bombs often contain moisturising ingredients like shea butter, cocoa butter, or coconut oil. These emollients help to nourish and hydrate the skin, leaving it feeling soft and supple even after your bath. The combination of fizz and moisturisation creates a luxurious and pampering experience, making bath time truly indulgent.

• Special Additions:

Our bath bombs may include special additions like dried flower petals and botanicals. These elements add an extra touch of elegance and luxury to your bath, elevating the entire experience to a sensory wonderland.

Each of our bath bomb is a carefully crafted masterpiece, designed to enhance your bathing experience and cater to your senses. From the fizzing effect of citric acid and baking soda to the captivating scents, wellbeing benefits of essential oils and the visual beauty of colorants, our bath bombs are a true fusion of science, art, and self care. So, the next time you drop one of our bath bombs into your tub, let your worries dissolve along with the fizz, leaving you with nothing but relaxation and bliss.. Your bath time will never be the same again!
