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 the tub filled with hot water, releasing an amazing aroma of essential oils and helping to give your skin a spa-like treatment when you soak in the tub afterward.

Are Bath Bombs Safe To Use For Your Skin?

Bath bombs are enticing, their colors and scents intoxicating, but even those infused with natural oils or ingredients that can provide hydration to the skin should be avoided as much as possible. The aggressive and often abrasive chemicals used in bath bombs can do more harm than good: dry out or irritate your skin. Furthermore, additives like dye and glitter can be difficult to remove, causing skin irritation to worsen. When using bath bombs, proceed cautiously, even if your skin doesn't always negatively react to bath bombs.

Choose A Bath Bomb For People Who Have Sensitive Skin

If you have sensitive skin, be mindful of the ingredients in bath bombs. Avoid bombs with artificial dyes, fragrances, and preservatives, which can irritate the skin. Opt for bath bombs made with natural ingredients like essential oils, cocoa butter, oatmeal, etc.

Step-by-Step Tutorial

  1. Mix all the dry ingredients together (leaving out the liquid) in a small bowl using your fingers to break up clumps and evenly distribute oil. You want the mixture to have the consistency of damp sand and hold a shape for a few seconds when you mold.
  2. Once it has achieved this consistency, slowly add and distribute the liquid with your fingers. You want to do this so the mixture doesn't dry out and harden properly. Adding liquid can cause the mixture to fizz, so you want to disperse it quickly.
  3. Grease your bath molds lightly with oil. Now, start filling the molds with the mixture and tamping it down thoroughly with your fingers. This is the most time-consuming part of the process but also the most important. You want to ensure the mixture is thoroughly packed so it hardens properly.
  4. Once you have filled the molds, if possible, let them sit for 24 hours and then remove the bombs from the molds. They should easily release, but if they don't, just tap lightly on the back of the molds until they come out.
