Before the first homemade bath bombs were invented, a French chemist René-Maurice Gattefoss accidentally invented aromatherapy. It was at this point he discovered just how beneficial essential oils are to our skin. This was the same time in which we also realized how relaxing and soothing certain smells are to our mind and body. So the concept of aromatherapy was born. Though, this doesn’t tell us who created bath bombs.

First, let’s discuss therapeutic aromas. Aromatherapy is a topical application of essential oils from natural essence produced by plants. It has become a form of alternative medicine. It is used to enhance the holistic aspect of our well-being.
