Are You New To Bath Bombs?

Bath bombs are small, often colourful and scented, solid balls or shapes made with various ingredients. When dropped into a bathtub filled with water, they fizz and release their ingredients, creating a fizzy, aromatic, and relaxing bathing experience. Bath bombs come in different scents, colors, and sizes, and they are designed to add fun, fragrance, and skin-softening effects to your bath. They are popular for their ability to turn an ordinary bath into a soothing and enjoyable spa-like experience.

The main distinction among the majority of bath bombs lies in their ingredients. They can either come from natural sources or be manufactured in laboratories.

Natural Bath Bombs vs. Synthetic Bath Bombs

• Natural Bath Bombs

Natural bath bombs are made with pure and sometimes organic ingredients, such as baking soda, citric acid, essential oils, and natural colorants - plant or vegetable powders. They are free from synthetic fragrances, artificial dyes, and harsh chemicals, making them gentle on the skin and suitable for various skin types, including sensitive skin. Natural bath bombs often use essential oils for their scents, providing aromatherapy benefits that promote relaxation and wellbeing during the bath. They are also environmentally friendly and typically come in minimal or eco-friendly packaging. At LIZA VETA, we use only natural ingredients for our aromatherapy bath bombs, generously infused with essential oils to deliver a soothing aromatherapy experience.

• Synthetic Bath Bombs

On the other hand, not natural bath bombs are made with artificial colors, synthetic fragrances, and sometimes include harsh chemicals like SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) and parabens. These bath bombs may have strong and initially appealing scents, but the artificial fragrances can be overpowering and cause allergic reactions or headaches for some individuals. Additionally, the artificial dyes used in not natural bath bombs are often made from mica. Mica is a naturally occurring mineral that is generally considered safe. However, mica itself does not offer direct skincare benefits, as it is primarily used as a colorant only. In comparison, beetroot powder, used as a colourant in our bath bombs, is rich in nutrients and provides many skin benefits, such as exfoliation, antioxidants, detoxification. These bath bombs may not offer any specific skin benefits and can potentially cause dryness or irritation due to the presence of harsh chemicals.

1. Ingredients:

   • Not Natural Bath Bombs: Often contain artificial colors, synthetic fragrances, and harsh chemicals like SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) and parabens. These can be harmful to the skin and may cause irritations for sensitive skin types.
   • Natural Bath Bombs: Made with pure and natural ingredients, such as Sodium Bicarbonate (baking soda), Citric Acid, Corn Starch, essential oils, and tocopherol (vitamin E). These ingredients are gentle on the skin and do not contain any harmful chemicals.

2. Fragrance:

   • Not Natural Bath Bombs: Use artificial fragrances that may smell strong initially but can be overpowering and cause allergic reactions or headaches in some individuals.
   • Natural Bath Bombs: Utilise essential oils to provide natural and pleasant scents. Essential oils offer various aromatherapy benefits, promoting relaxation and wellbeing during the bath.

3. Colouring:

   • Not Natural Bath Bombs: Contain artificial dyes and colours, which  may cause skin irritations.
   • Natural Bath Bombs: Typically do not use artificial dyes and colors. Any colouring is derived from natural ingredients like herbal extracts, which are safe for the skin and environmentally friendly.

4. Skin Benefits:

   • Not Natural Bath Bombs: May not offer any additional skin benefits and could potentially cause dryness or irritation due to the harsh chemicals.
   • Natural Bath Bombs: Provide skin-friendly benefits due to the presence of natural ingredients. Sodium Bicarbonate helps exfoliate and cleanse the skin, while essential oils and tocopherol nourish and moisturize, leaving the skin feeling soft and smooth.

5. Environmental Impact:

   • Not Natural Bath Bombs: Often come in excessive plastic packaging, contributing to environmental pollution.
   • Natural Bath Bombs: Tend to use minimal or eco-friendly packaging, reducing their environmental impact. The natural ingredients are also biodegradable and eco-friendly.

When choosing between natural and not natural bath bombs, it is essential to consider the potential impact on your skin and the environment. Natural bath bombs are generally a safer and more skin-friendly option, providing soothing and nourishing benefits during your bath. They offer a relaxing and enjoyable spa-like experience without any harmful effects. On the other hand, not natural bath bombs may have a more artificial appeal, but they come with the risk of skin irritations and environmental pollution.
