If you thought your bath couldn't get any better, then you haven't tried a bath bomb yet! These fizzy little balls of fun amp up your tub time with color, fragrances, and skin benefits without introducing harmful synthetics that could possibly irritate your skin. Soaking in the bathtub allows moisture from the essential oils to absorb deep into your skin, providing you with a sense of smooth, silky softness.

Bath bombs help lock in moisture and hydrate your skin while giving your bath a lovely, multi-sensory experience. Who knew you could accomplish so much for your skin all while relaxing in the tub?!

So, what exactly makes a bath bomb so reactive when dropped into water? The answer is ... science! It's actually an acid-based reaction between the components of a bicarbonate base and citric acid. Once the bath bomb hits the water, the bicarbonate and citric acid release carbon dioxide gasses.

The carbon dioxide is what makes the bath bomb fizz and move around in the tub, mixing bubbles and gorgeous color around with it. Bath bombs can contain additional ingredients like essential oils, aromas, Epsom salt, or dried flower petals and herbs.

All these ingredients are then tightly hand-packed into a variety of shapes but are typically found in spherical form.

The invention of the bath bomb is one of those ideas that make you wonder, "Why didn't I think of that?!" The ingredients used are fairly easy to obtain and the outcome of using a bath bomb is enjoyable, so how did the inventor come across the idea that all of us know and love today?

A woman by the name of Mo Constantine was inspired by observing a dissolvable antacid tablet bubble and fizz its way through the water.

People everywhere took this bath bomb idea and ran with it! Soon, ingredients like flower petals, glitter, oils, and fragrances were being packed into the bath bombs, appealing to all walks of life!

It may be a good idea to hop in the shower for a quick rinse off, especially if you've used a bomb with glitter or lots of colors. Also, remember to clean your tub as the surface might to too slippery for the next person who takes a bath. Giving a quick wipe down will also free your tub of flower petals or dyes the bath bomb may have left behind.
