What Is a Bath Bomb?

To put things simply it’s a ball of ingredients that include salts, colorants, oils, and some random surprises depending on the recipes.

As the bath bomb breaks up it begins to release the fragrances and skin-conditioning ingredients. The bath bomb adds oils to the water which in turn helps to condition the skin.

Everything else? It’s a fancy show but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t treat yourself to the experience! Below are some of my favorite DIY bath bomb recipes and ideas for homemade bath bombs.
