45 relaxing bath bombs that are great after a long day of work
At the end of a long, stressful day, there's nothing like a hot bath to unwind. You can elevate your self-care by adding a bath bomb to the water.
Bath bombs are spherical blends of dry ingredients that fizz and dissolve once they hit warm bathwater. They release nourishing oils, bright colors and scents into your bath. Not only do they offer a sensory experience, they also cleanse the skin.

What ingredients are in bath bombs?
All bath bombs contain sodium bicarbonate (also known as baking soda) and citric acid, which cause a chemical reaction responsible for the bomb's effervescence. The best bath bombs contain natural oils, such as almond oil and coconut oil, or body butter, such as shea butter and cocoa butter, to condition the skin.

Bath bombs also contain fragrances, either synthetic or from essential oils, to give your bath water a pleasant, aromatic scent. They contain natural or artificial dyes to color your water too. Some may contain glitter or flower petals as special add-ins.
