What is a bath bomb?

We can safely say that bath bombs are the friendliest skincare product out there,and by now you’ve probably seen plenty of bathtub selfies with colorful water and candlelit backdrops on them.But what are real bath bombs made of and what are the benefits of bath bombs that so many of us can’t resist?

Bath bombs are single-use spherical mixtures of silky,aromatic extracts and oils that you pour into your bathtub before you bathe.The main ingredients are sodium bicarbonate and citric acid,and once dissolved in water,they interact to create the fizzy effect we all know and love. Once this reaction occurs,the bath bombs dissolve and break down,releasing all the goodies inside:from the delicious scent to the skin-smoothing emollients that act as softeners on your skin.

How Does it 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. When the released hydrogen ion from the citric acid encounters the bicarbonate from the baking soda another reaction happens! 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.

How to use a Bath Bomb

1. Plug your bath tub.
2. Fill the bath with warm water (or whatever temperature you prefer).
3. Once the bath is full, get in the tub.
4. Add the bath bomb and watch it fizz and bubble!
5. Soak in the tub for 20 minutes, or longer, if you like.
6. After you’re done soaking, drain the water and use a cloth to wipe down the bathtub, if there is any dye or oil residue.

what are the benefits of bath bombs?

1. bask in fragrant heaven with carefully chosen bath bomb ingredients
2. Take a few minutes of mindfulness to gage your mood, and then choose your bath bomb ingredients and aromas accordingly. For example, choose bath bomb ingredients that have an aroma of invigorating mimosa flower for a stint in tropical paradise, or an aroma of heirloom French lavender for a relaxing spa session.
3. smooth out dryness for hydrated skin
4. Once dissolved in water, bath bombs release citric acid which fizzes up and helps loosen damaged layers of skin. The oils in bath bombs also tend to be super moisturizing, and basking in a tub of hydrating oils will leave your skin feeling soft and supple.
5. say goodbye to soreness and relax your body & your mind
6. With smoothing properties and delicious smells, bath bomb ingredients work to help you relax. Beyond just the bath bomb, lounging in a warm bath itself for between 15-20 minutes can help you decompress after a long day. For centuries, people have been using baths for their beneficial effects on our muscles, and recent studies confirm that a warm bath can help soothe soreness and tension.
7. detox your skin and leave your bath feeling refreshed and renewed, The high alkaline content of sodium bicarbonate, the primary ingredient in bath bombs, makes it super effective in helping to remove toxins. The more common name for sodium bicarbonate is baking soda, which is famous for its many detoxing health benefits and uses. Bath bombs aren’t only therapeutic, but also contain cleansers that remove dirt and oil buildup from your outer skin layer. Renew your skin and let the bath bomb work its detoxifying magic!

Do Bath Bombs Expire?

Bath bombs have a shelf life of about one year. A bath bomb will last only as long as its composite ingredient with the least shelf life. It is true that a bath bomb has a scent as sweet as an air freshener, but if it does expire, it will start to its scents as well as its good looks and effect.

If your bath bomb starts to smell bad, break up or grow mold, it is a sign that it has expired, and you should learn to throw them out at this point.
