Bath bombs are great for many reasons and provide many benefits to people who use them. Each one is different, not only in its scent but also in the benefits it provides. Each one is a luxurious experience.
What Is A Bath Bomb?
Suppose you don’t know what a bath bomb is. In that case, it’s essentially a ball made primarily from sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), which is combined with additional ingredients such as Essential Oils, fragrances, and other additives.
These balls are then dropped into a tub filled with hot water, releasing an amazing aroma of essential oils. They also help give your skin a spa-like treatment when you soak in the tub afterwards.
How Does Bath Bomb Work?
The “bomb” aspect of a bath bomb is the fizziness. But what’s going on in those spheres that make them so fizzy? Two of the key ingredients to a bath bomb are citric acid and sodium bicarbonate. You might also know sodium bicarbonate by its more common name, baking soda. These two ingredients are what cause the impressive and delightful fizz when the bath bomb enters the water.
When sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) comes in contact with water, the sodium (Na) molecules break off from the bicarbonate (HCO3). At the same time, the citric acid is dissolving, with a single hydrogen ion (H+) separating from the rest of the molecule. Another reaction happens when the released hydrogen ion from the citric acid encounters the bicarbonate from the baking soda! This time, carbon dioxide (CO2) gas is released as one of the end products. The carbon dioxide forms bubbles in the soap and bath water and rushes to the surface with a delightful fizz.
5 Reasons Why You Should Try A Bath Bomb
1. Bath Bombs Rehydrate Your Skin
Locking in the moisture provided by the oils allows your skin to regroup and rehydrate. The base oils in bath bombs provide major moisture to the skin. Soaking in a warm bath allows your skin to absorb the oils giving your skin extra moisture, far more than it would get from simply applying lotion.
2. Bath Bombs Nourish Your Skin
The base oils used in our bath bombs, such as jojoba oil, argan oil, rosehip oil, and cocoa butter, provide unique benefits. For instance, cocoa butter moisturizes and soothes dry skin. Jojoba oil is the closest thing to our skin's natural oils and quickly absorbs to leave your skin feeling nourished. Argan oil is rich in vitamin E and works to smooth the skin and reduce stretch marks.
3. Bath Bombs Provide Aromatherapy
with a wide array of scents to choose from, and each scent adds distinctive aromatherapy benefits, you can create an experience that is just for you. Relaxing and breathing in a bath filled with specific scents created from essential oils calms your body and mind. Aromatherapy has also been used to provide relief from anxiety and depression.
4. Bath Bombs Soothe Your Body
Here is the best part! Each bath bomb’s unique combination of ingredients can soothe your body in various ways. Lavender provides relaxation and promotes good sleep, while clove is a natural pain reliever and can help relax sore muscles. Sea clay is mineral-rich, goat’s milk contains nutrients your skin loves, and oats relieve skin irritations. No matter what, you can find a combination that will work for you.
5. The diverse array of fragrances provides you with a unique aromatherapy experience
At present, bath bombs come in a rich variety of portable fragrances, each offering users a different experience. A scent always suits you or captivates you among the diverse options.
How to use A Bath Bomb?
After the tub is filled with water, remove a product from the gift box. Remove the outer wrap paper and put it into the bathtub. The bath bomb will produce rich bubbles in the bathtub. Then, it will float and rotate, dissolve, and then become colorful. You can also take a bath while the bath bomb is dissolving.
