Bath bombs are a fun way to bring more excitement to your bath, but did you know that these fizzy bombs also supply many great additional benefits for your skin? Bath bombs are made with baking soda or sodium bicarbonate, which provides a naturally high alkaline substance with a reputation for helping to remove toxins. Baking soda's natural sodium content and alkalinity give the bathwater a silky feel. The plant oils and baking soda soothes and adds moisture to the skin. Along with the pleasant scent and essential oils, bath bombs can also create an aromatherapeutic effect.
