For many of us, a bath is not just a means of cleansing the body, it is a pleasant ritual of relaxation, immersion in the world of aromas and cozy warmth. However, this ritual is not always as useful as it is pleasant. Many of us use fragrant and fluffy foam when taking a bath.
However, it is worth understanding that this very cosmetic product is a real “storehouse” of parabens, phosphates, dyes, fragrances and other substances that, after taking such a bath, will leave a very unpleasant “chemical trail” on your body.
How to turn a bath from a chemical reaction into a useful, environmentally friendly and safe one for health, while maintaining its aromatic appeal? One possible option is bath bombs.
It’s worth mentioning here that bombs are “not immune” from the abundance of harmful chemical substances in its composition. Therefore, after thinking about possible options When deciding on a useful and pleasant bath, you can choose the products made with my own hands from environmentally friendly and safe components.
The main components of homemade bombs are baking soda and citric acid. These two substances do not react in dry form, however, as soon as you add water, a geyser-like reaction begins, and during this reaction, the bathroom is filled with the aroma of essential oils, which we also added to our bomb.
If you also add to the product healthy oils and microelements (sea salt, for example), then the benefits of such a bath will be undoubted. We should not forget that the main components of the bomb - soda and citric acid - will also benefit us. The first will soften the water, and the second will act as an air conditioner.
In addition to all of the above, it is worth noting that according to scientific research, soda has a beneficial effect on the acid-base balance in the body, helps improve metabolism in cells, improves the absorption of oxygen by tissues and the condition of the skin.
Doctors note that baths with soda and salt are good for joints, relieve pain, treat the nervous system, and are useful for kidney failure.
Citric acid is included in many cosmetics for the face and hair. It cleanses the body of salts and toxins, has antitumor properties, accelerates the removal of toxins through the skin, and improves immunity.
Very often, sea salt is included in the bombs, which has a positive effect on the condition of the skin. In particular, sea salt contains magnesium, which helps fight cellulite more effectively. Salt saturates the skin with minerals, normalizing cellular metabolism. As a result, the skin looks smooth and elastic. Baths with sea salt help strengthen the nervous system, increase productivity, relieve muscle tension and fatigue.
Cosmetic oils (olive and coconut oils, grape seed oil, almond, peach, apricot, etc.) soften and nourish the skin.
The integral components of bath bombs are essential oils, which have an antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effect, activate metabolic processes, promote regeneration, improve mood and improve well-being. By the way, when taking a bath with bombs, essential oils partially penetrate the skin and partially evaporate, creating an inhalation effect, having an effect on the human body not only from the outside, but also from the inside.
Glass of soda
- 1/2 cup citric acid
- 1/2 cup Epsom salt - magnesium sulfate (this component is very widely used by those who want to lose weight and effectively get rid of cellulite)
- a tablespoon of water
- two tablespoons olive oil(or any other oil of your choice)
- 20 drops of essential oil (of your choice)
- food coloring
First, you should mix all the dry components of the bomb in a ceramic or glass bowl, and the liquid components in another container. Then, stirring continuously, add the resulting liquid to the dry mixture. As a result, you should have a mixture with a consistency similar to wet sand. If you squeeze this mixture, it retains its shape and does not crumble. Next, spread the mixture into the molds, tamping it down, and let it dry (it’s better to leave the mixture in the molds overnight). Then carefully remove the product from the molds and store in a dry, airtight container.
By the way, bombs can be done not only for the bath, but also For shower- this product will help you cheer up in the morning or relax in the evening. You can also do caring mini bombs for manicure and pedicure.
Bath bombs can transform your relaxation into... new level. You can de-stress and enjoy a warm, pleasant-smelling, and impeccably beautiful bath. But how safe are these bombs?
Buying bombs at Lush, The Body Shop and "bubbling balls" at Stenders, you will be tempted natural oils, pleasant smells and incredible colors. Salespeople will tell you how the bombs will hydrate your skin and relieve stress, but what will actually happen to your body?
Study the ingredients of the bombs. They contain chemicals that affect hormones and dyes that reach the mucous membrane. Standard bath bombs are definitely not something that will be good for your body. Luckily, we have a recipe for homemade bombs that will help relieve stress without harming your health.
The aromatic fragrance added to the bombs does not seem to be a dangerous ingredient. But in fact, synthetic additives are the most toxic part of the product. The US National Academy of Sciences has found that 95% of the chemicals used in synthetic fragrances are petroleum products (). Yes indeed. Throwing a mango-scented bath bomb into the bathtub may result in a spilled puddle of oil without you even noticing it. However, your skin will receive all the dangers associated with this fact. For example, the likelihood of skin itching and allergies.
Many of us are aware of the dangers of phthalates and other chemicals that affect hormones. They can cause serious illnesses and problems, so we do not recommend using bath products when bathing children and pregnant women (,).
When studying the composition before purchasing, pay attention to “fragrance”, “fragrance oil”, “fragrance oil blend”. This is a legal way to hide the names of chemicals from buyers and manufacturers regularly use it. In total, manufacturers use 3,000 toxic flavors and do not indicate their names in the composition. Such flavorings may cause malfunction nervous system, respiratory diseases and are potentially carcinogenic ().
Food dyes are dangerous in more than just food. A 2013 study found that skin can absorb toxic dyes, especially skin that has undergone hair removal. Once in contact with the skin, the dyes enter directly into the bloodstream instead of passing through digestive system and be filtered by the liver, like other toxins ().
Dyes are regularly used in bath bombs. They can cause an allergic reaction. Some studies show the possibility of an increased risk of cancer. This primarily concerns the yellow dye. ()
Experts may note that showering reduces the risk of infection (), but bathing with a bomb seriously increases this risk. It has been proven that bubble baths and bombs touching the genitals seriously increase the risk of infection. ()
Many bath bombs contain glitter. This tiny particles plastics that do not decompose. Once flushed, they will pass into the sewer system and eventually contaminate the water. They are harmful to the ecology of the planet, and if this does not bother you too much, then they are not very useful for your skin and mucous membranes either.
First of all, this applies to women. The chemicals contained in the bombs can disrupt the natural pH balance of the female organs and increase the risk of yeast infection. ()
Some stores promote bombs homemade containing boric acid. The advantage of this solution is the antifungal effect of the acid. It is used to treat some female diseases and treat fungus on the feet of athletes.
Unfortunately, the special European Commission found evidence that boric acid affects hormones. Its use is prohibited in Japan and Canada ().
It is so serious that the Government of Canada has recommended that the use of acid in art (it was used to make clay) and veterinary medicine be phased out. The reason is said to be harm to the human reproductive system. ()
You can make the best bombs yourself and without any special skills. You will need:
Preparation will take 10 minutes, you can discard most of the components and replace them with others.
Preparation:
Bath bomb- This is a mixture of dry ingredients, including oils, flavors and dyes. The dry substances of the bomb completely dissolve in water, changing its composition, color and smell. The mixture may contain skin moisturizing oils.
What is a bath bomb used for? The bomb is used for aesthetic reasons, making the bathing process more pleasant and interesting. Certain types of mixtures can be used to soften and moisturize the skin. Bombs can be used to reduce stress levels.
A few facts:
Warm aromatic bath can relieve fatigue after a hard day at work, restore strength and help you relax. To make water procedures as useful and enjoyable as possible, it was created a large number of cosmetics. Among them, bath bombs take pride of place. You can buy them in the store or make your own from simple ingredients. Most of the necessary tools for their manufacture are present in the kitchen of every housewife.
The point of making such bombs with your own hands is not so much about saving money as about the real benefits for health and body skin. Those same multi-colored balls that can be found on the shelves of every large supermarket for little money contain harmful substances and dyes. For small children and allergy sufferers, they can be potentially dangerous. The fact is that store-bought bombs often contain soda ash, which is used to prepare quite aggressive cleaning products. Synthetic dyes and cheap substitutes for aromatic oils are also often used.
Of course you can go to the store natural cosmetics and buy “geysers” made from high-quality raw materials there. But such stores are not found in every city and they cost quite a lot of money. They are produced mainly from inexpensive ingredients, and the price is often artificially high due to the name “natural”.
As you can see, there is a point to making bath bombs:
Using dried rose flowers, you can make incredibly beautiful and fragrant bombs
There are many recipes for making homemade bombs, but most of them start with cooking classical basis. You will need the following components:
Only two ingredients are responsible for the “gurgling” effect - soda and citric acid. Dissolving in water, they interact with each other and the well-known chemical reaction. Essential oils, flavors, ground coffee, dried herbs and petals are responsible for the aroma. Fillers with a caring effect are also used: potato or corn starch, dry cream or milk, sea salt. Color is provided by food dyes, colored sea salt, coffee, cocoa, etc.
Many recipes indicate that citric acid It's better to grind it into powder. Since it is volatile and can cause irritation to mucous membranes, it is recommended to wear a protective mask while grinding. The lid of the coffee grinder is also not opened immediately, but is waited for the caustic dust to settle.
| Ingredients | №1 | №2 | №3 | №4 |
| Basic | Baking soda | Lemon acid | Effervescent vitamin tablets* | - |
| Base oil | Sprout oil wheat | Olive oil | Coconut oil | Macadamia oil |
| Dye | Powdered food colors | Liquid food coloring | Cosmetic dyes | Colored salt* |
| Essential oil | For calm and relaxation: lavender ylang-ylang rose neroli clary sage bergamot | For vivacity: basil mint ginger citrus lemongrass fir | Aphrodisiacs: rose patchouli geranium sandalwood rosemary jasmine | For children: lavender tea tree fennel bergamot ylang-ylang mandarin |
| Fillers | Powdered milk and dry cream | Corn or potato starch | Magnesium sulfate or Epsom salt | Sea salt |
| Decor + aroma | Dry herbs | Dried flowers and petals | Ground coffee, cocoa powder | |
| Additional components: | Polysorbate-80 | White, colored dry clay | - |
Base oil is used as a bonding component. Without it, you won’t be able to make a bomb from soda, citric acid and fillers. In addition, it cares for the skin, nourishes it and moisturizes it. It is best to use wheat germ oil as a base oil. It is light, quickly absorbed by the skin and does not clog pores. You can also use other oils as a main or additional component: grape seed, almond, jojoba, macadamia, cocoa, sea buckthorn, etc.
For beneficial aromatherapy, it is better to use only high-quality natural essential oils. You can also use food and cosmetic fragrances, which can be purchased at soap stores.
It is not advisable to use mineral oils and synthetic essential oils. They often cause allergic reactions and can negatively affect your skin and health.
Water is used rarely and in small quantities, as a rule, for preparing bombs with a small amount oils The fact is that under the influence of moisture, soda and acid immediately begin to interact and you risk ruining your creation at the very beginning. Water is added using a fine spray from a short distance. Large drops of water may cause a reaction and the bomb will not work.
These small bath balls are used as decoration.
Powdered cream and milk are added to soften the skin while bathing. Since they are undesirable for oily and problem skin, it is better to replace them with corn or potato starch. Sea salt saturates the skin with beneficial minerals and has a beneficial effect on the body as a whole. Also healing properties has clay (kaolin), which can be purchased at the pharmacy. Dried petals and herbs additionally saturate the water with aromas and turn bathing into a real pleasure.
Polysorbate (emulsifier) and foaming agent “Lush foam” can be found in a specialized store for preparing cosmetics. They are not required components. Thanks to polysorbate, the oil will not form a greasy film on the surface of the water and the walls of the bath, but will completely dissolve. A foaming agent will be needed to produce foam while the geyser bomb is bubbling.
Using the “Lush Foam” foaming agent you can make a foaming geyser bomb
Dyes are purely decorative. If you are afraid of allergies or you are simply against various “chemicals”, then you can do without them. The same petals, herbs, zest and coffee can give the bombs a beautiful color without harm to health. Never use pigments of dubious quality or not intended for cosmetics.
They are not used to color bombs in the desired color. art paints(gouache, acrylic, etc.). They can clog pores, stain your bathtub and body, and cause severe allergic reactions.
You won't need dyes if you add this colored salt to the mixture
In addition to the ingredients for cooking, you will also need:
You can buy a mold at a specialized soap-making store. There you can also find bath beads, fragrances for cosmetics and a foaming agent. Instead of special molds, you can use chocolate trays, ice molds, pastry spoons for cutting out balls, muffin tins and much more. If you don't care appearance bombs, then make them with your hands like snowballs.
This is what happens when you put fresh or dried flowers at the bottom of a mold.
A coffee grinder and mortar will be needed to grind ingredients such as citric acid and sea salt. The smaller the components, the better their adhesion to each other. Gloves are used to protect your hands from burning while working. The fact is that citric acid in direct contact can irritate sensitive skin and cause a burning sensation in areas of abrasions, hangnails and wounds. But when taking a bath using such a homemade bomb, citric acid dissolves in a large amount of water and does not have a negative effect on the skin.
Since essential oils tend to “fade out” over time, each finished bomb should be wrapped in cling film or placed in a closed, airtight bag. Ready-made “pops” are stored in a dry place.
Bath beads can be beautifully decorated fizzy balls 
You can use square ice trays 
Dried herbs will give the bombs a beautiful aroma, and cream will give softening properties. 
Use dried rose petals and herbs instead of dyes 
Instead of store-bought molds, you can use chocolate egg halves
All recipes differ in the ingredients used, the desired effects and smells, as well as fillers (salt, petals, coffee, etc.). You can prepare “geysers” for children with a minimum amount of ingredients, without artificial colors and only with those essential oils that rarely cause allergic reactions.
You can use starch or sea salt as a filler. Salt crystals are quite large, so they are first crushed in a coffee grinder or mortar.
The amount of ingredients is for 3 balls. You will need:
If you wish, you can use an emulsifier, but then you need to take half a tablespoon of oil and the same amount of emulsifier.
Cooking instructions:
First you need to mix citric acid, soda and salt
Ingredients can be mixed using a broom
Measure with a tablespoon required quantity oils and add to dry mixture
Essential oil is added directly to the mixture
Fill the mold with the finished mixture and press tightly with a spoon.
The bomb can be placed in a plastic bag and tied with a cord
A properly prepared mixture should sculpt well and have the consistency of wet sand. Also, the bombs are not dried in the oven - this can cause them to crack and crumble.
Instead of flavorings, you can use essential oils, then the bombs will be more natural. In this case, you should also abandon emulsifiers and dyes. To color the mixture a beautiful color, use ground coffee, grated lemon and orange zest, crushed petals and herbs.
You can also make two-color and even multi-colored bombs. Simply divide the base mixture into parts and color in different colors. Fill the halves as desired. You can layer the mixtures to create striped balls, or simply fill each half with one color.
By combining colors you can make bright and beautiful “fizzies” for bathing.
If the bombs do not stick together well and crumble, then you can use ethanol. It is volatile, unlike water, it slowly reacts with soda and acid. Alcohol is poured into a fine spray bottle and the mixture is sprayed on.
Even a beginner can make these fragrant effervescent balls on his own. If you are doing this for the first time, it is better to add citric acid at the very end to minimize the risk of a chemical reaction.
The amount of ingredients is calculated to prepare one medium-sized bomb. You will need a fine spray bottle to add water. The amount of water indicated is approximate and you should see for yourself how much it will be needed to optimally moisten the mixture.
Water is added at a distance in single spritzes and everything is quickly mixed.
So, you will need the following components:
Step-by-step instruction:
Mix soda, citric acid and salt with a spoon
After adding the dye, the mixture is thoroughly mixed
When filling the mold, you need to compact the mixture well.
The halves filled with the finished mixture are tightly connected to each other
If you put a little oatmeal on the bottom of the mold, you get a very nice bomb.
Such a bomb will have a triple effect: aromatherapy, nourishing the skin with oil and lush foam.
List of ingredients:
You do everything as in previous recipes. Use a digital kitchen scale to accurately weigh ingredients. Instructions:
By the way, you don’t have to knead the mixture until the color is uniform after adding the dye. Uneven purple colour and individual white grains will also look beautiful.
This recipe does not contain such a component as base oil. Water will help bind the dry ingredients together. The secret of preparation is to quickly knead the mixture and carefully sprinkle it with water. But the result will certainly please you: the bubbling geyser will fill the bath with fragrance and will not form greasy stains on the surface of the water.

Many people are scared by the presence of citric acid in recipes. It is for those with hypersensitive skin and simply lovers of everything natural that we offer a recipe for preparing bombs without this component. It’s worth noting right away that such a bomb will not dissolve with the characteristic bubbling effect, but it is long-lasting and can be used several times if desired.

Buy necessary ingredients and get started:
Here is a review from the creator of this wonderful recipe, who lives in Germany:
The recipe took a long time to come up, but the solution was found unexpectedly and simply. It turned out that finding baking soda and citric acid in Germany is not so easy. At first I settled on baking powder (almost the same soda) and thought that citric acid could be replaced with vitamin C and... and then it dawned on me! Vitamin C is sold in effervescent tablets (like the new aspirin) and not only that, but also calcium, magnesium, a multivitamin with all the variants of vitamins and much, much more useful and most importantly effervescent! And what is important is that here all this stuff is sold for pennies in any supermarket and pharmacy.

Bath bombs are a great way to make bathing more enjoyable. There are bombs different colors, shapes and sizes and can have different smells. They often contain moisturizing oils that are beneficial for the skin. But how to use these dusty and hard lumps? In this article you will learn not only how to use bombs, but also how to choose them and how to use them as efficiently as possible.
Select a bomb. Bath bombs come in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes, and can also have different scents. Some have flower petals or glitter inside, others contain oils that are good for moisturizing the skin (for example, almond oil or cocoa butter). Choose a bomb whose smell and color you like best. If you have dry skin, look for oil bombs to hydrate your skin. Bombs may contain the following substances:
Try wrapping the bomb in cloth. Some bombs have petals that can get stuck in the bathtub drain. To prevent this from happening, place the bomb in a small cloth bag or nylon stocking. Detergents, fragrances and oils will penetrate into the water through the fabric, and the petals will remain inside. When you're done bathing, you'll simply empty the bag or throw it away.
Try dividing the bomb into two parts. Bath bombs are quite expensive, but you can cut the bomb in half using a serrated knife and it will last longer. Use one half now and save the other for next time.
Plug the bathroom drain and fill with water. If you are taking a bath for yourself, you should feel comfortable there. Add as much water as you want and adjust the temperature. When you have collected the required amount of water, close the tap.
Place the bomb in the water. When the bomb is in the water, it will begin to bubble and foam. Then it will begin to fall apart and dissolve, and all the useful oils and salts will end up in the water.
Undress and stand with your feet in the bath. You can do this after the bomb has completely dissolved, or you don’t have to wait for this moment.
Sit in the bath. Take a comfortable position. Close your eyes, relax, meditate or read a book. The bomb will dissolve, and the water will contain essential oils, nourishing and moisturizing oils and all other substances: petals, glitter, dyes.
When the water has cooled, get out of the bath and dry yourself. Gradually the water will become colder. You can get out of the bath and flush the water. Do not stay in water for long periods of time as the skin will wrinkle from the moisture.
Take a shower. Showering after a bath bomb is not necessary, but if you have used a bomb with dyes or glitter, it will be helpful. Run the water, rinse in the shower and wash off the oil from your skin. You can also wash yourself with a washcloth and shower gel.
Clean the bathtub. Some bombs contain substances that can stain the bath. The easiest way to remove paint is when it is wet. Take a surface cleaning sponge and scrub the painted areas. If there are any petals or glitter left in the bath, remove them with your hands or rinse them off with water.
Remember that the bomb cannot be stored for a long time. Bombs retain their shape only in a dry room, but the fresher the bomb, the more foam there will be when it dissolves. If the bomb is stored too long, there will be much less foam and bubbles.
Get rid of nasal congestion. If you have a cold, you can clear your nose with a bomb with eucalyptus oil. Fill the bath warm water, throw such a bomb there and get into the water.
Have an aromatherapy session. Many bombs contain essential oils that have a positive effect on your mood and help you relax, get rid of stress, or vice versa - feel cheerful. When choosing a bomb, pay attention to the composition and find out what essential oils it contains. Essential oils also provide a scent, so choose a scent that you enjoy. Below we provide a list of the most common oils in bombs and their possible uses:
After a hard day, I really want to relax. This can be done by taking a bath with sea salt, foam, essential oils, or with special effervescent bombs. We usually buy them in stores. But you can make bath bombs at home, it’s not difficult at all. Moreover, you can choose any recipe you like. You will learn about the best of them in our article.

Helpful advice: You should take such a bath only after regular shower to keep your skin clean. If you are going to use a bomb, you should not use soap and shower gel at the same time. After taking a bath, do not rinse your skin so that all the essential oils remain on it.
Bombs must be stored in a special container or bag, otherwise they will lose their sizzling properties. If you are using a foam bomb, you should place it in the water while filling the bath, this will create more foam. The hotter the water, the faster the bomb will dissolve.
After taking a bath, simply rinse its surface with plain water to wash away any remaining oils and all other components. It is worth noting that some ingredients can color the water. This list includes chocolate, clay, various dyes and colored bath salts. At the same time, chocolate and clay can also leave sediment at the bottom of the bath.
