How are they made? First, bath bomb ingredients can vary so much that listing all possible ingredients is beyond the scope of this post. A basic bath recipe might look like this:
1/2 cup baking soda; 1/4 cup citric acid; 1 tsp oil of choice; 2 ml fragrance oil
The typical ratio of baking soda to citric acid is 2:1, but this can vary up to 3:1. The purpose of the oil is to help the mixture stick together and to provide benefits to your skin while in the bath. |

Will the tub require cleaning afterwards? It depends on your bath bomb. If you look at the recipe above, that will not leave any lasting evidence on your tub. As a recipe scales up with more oils (and butters), eventually it can leave an oil ring around the tub after the bath. Additionally, the tub can become more slippery, so please use caution when standing! In my experience, the oil content should hover somewhere between 6-12%, depending on the oils. Yes, I know that’s helpful!
Large amounts of additives such as clays, cornstarch, etc. can leave sediment/residue on the bottom of the tub. Dried flowers or buds will probably stick to the sides and bottom of the tub, but of course a simple wipe-down of the tub can remove this. |
