What do you know about bath fizzies

 Oct 25,2022

Bath fizzies, also known as bath bombs, are balls that, when dropped into the tu,b will fizz and moisturize. You need two essential ingredients to make bath fizzies: citric acid (for the fizz) and baking soda (moisturizing). Bath fizzies can be so much more than just that, though! This handout explores ingredients you can use (and why you'd want to) in bath bombs and gives you a number of recipes to experiment with.

The key ingredients in bath bombs are sodium bicarbonate and citric acid. When the mixture (usually spherical) is placed in warm water, the components dissolve, and the citric acid interacts with the sodium bicarbonate. The chemical reaction in the water causes the mixture to fizz, creating a bubbly, foamy, colorful texture to the water.

Bath bombs are also scented, and the fragrances are released into the water when the bath bomb dissolves. When the bath bomb breaks apart, all the minerals and detoxifying ingredients are released into the water. Thanks to being combined with cornstarch, the two chemical components are prevented from reacting with each other when the bath bomb is dry.

One of the best benefits of bath bombs is their improvement of skin. When you drop these soluble balls into a bath, they fill it with emollients and other moisturizing substances that make your skin softer.

Bath bombs don’t only moisturize your skin. They offer a next-level clean that will leave you feeling fresh. Bath bombs contain bicarbonate of soda and citric acid, which makes the water fizz.

Bicarbonate of soda has a big history of use as a beauty product. When these two combine, they do fantastic things for your skin’s quality and can help remove blemishes.

Many bath bombs contain Epsom salts. These magnesium salts have been used for years to treat aching muscles. It’s believed that they are absorbed through the skin and help loosen muscles and joints.

There aren’t many more relaxing things than a good, long bath. A bath bomb boosts your relaxation and makes it even better. For instance, some bath bombs contain Essential Oils like lavender that can help you relax.

Other bath bombs contain active ingredients that can soak into your skin and help you relax. For instance, you can now buy CBD bath bombs that contain the cannabinoid and help you, quite literally, soak up the relaxation.

The best bath bombs moisturize and repair your skin, giving it what it needs to repair itself and stay healthy.

While we can’t speak to all bath bombs available worldwide, most are made of natural ingredients and are free from animal products. This means that no death was involved in bringing your luxuriant bath.

In addition to the aforementioned CBD bath bombs, these little fizzy balls can improve your mood through other non-psychoactive means. One of the most common complaints about modern life is its pace. We’re all living life at a breakneck speed, which isn’t always good for us.

Cleaning with shower gel or soap is one thing. Yet detoxing is quite another. Bath bombs can help you get rid of toxins that are present in your skin and make you feel better for long afterward.

Bath fizzies are a great project for yourself or gift-giving to anyone who loves relaxing in a hot tub of hot water filled with fragrance and fizz.

1 tablespoon olive oil
Several drops of essential oil (4-10, depending on the fragrance)
1 cup baking soda
1/2 cup citric acid
1/2 cup corn starch
1 tablespoon water
Cellophane bag/ribbon

Mix olive oil and essential oil together in a bowl.
Mix baking soda, cornstarch, and citric acid together in a separate bowl.
Make an indention in the center of the mixture and drizzle the olive oil mixture into the indentation, then mix well.
Add water a little at a time and blend. Adding water causes the fizzing. The cornstarch works as a dry filler. You want it to absorb the water into the cornstarch as much as possible so the fizzy does not fizz while mixing the ingredients.
Once blended, scoop out 1 tablespoon of mixture. Shape into balls, squeezing tightly. You can also use a mold, such as a decorative cookie mold. (I have also had kids pack the mixture in paper cups.)
Allow to dry overnight before packaging.
Place in cellophane bags and tie off with ribbon.

Bath fizzers are used to nourish, soothe, and rejuvenate the skin. The oils and salts nourish and moisturize your skin, and the citric acid helps loosen damaged layers of skin to remove them. This replenishes your dry skin, leaving it smooth, supple, and hydrated.

It’s best to put a bath bomb in the water before entering and let the bath fizzer react with the water to form foamy bubbles.

Although bath fizzers have cleansing agents, they won’t be as effective in cleaning you as washing your skin with body wash or shower gel.
We recommend having a shower and using shower gel to get truly clean before having a soothing bath using a luxury bath fizzer. This will keep you clean from harsh external factors like dirt, sweat, or dust so you can enjoy your bath fizzer to the fullest!

We recommend soaking in a bath bomb for 20 to 40 minutes. Don’t sit in the water for too long, as this can cause your skin to go wrinkly and dry out.
