There’s nothing like a warm, relaxing bath. But, if you’re looking to kick it up a notch, a bath bomb can be a fun way to add aromatherapy benefits, a subtle scent, or ingredients that can keep your skin soft and smooth. To help you narrow down your search, we’ve rounded up the best bath bombs to make bath time an elevated experience.
Bath bombs were invented by Lush Cosmetics in 1989. According to the brand, “A bath bomb is a simple, gentle blend of sodium bicarbonate, citric acid and other beautiful ingredients to help turn your bath into a fun, soothing haven.” And since then, there are tons of options from multiple retailers, including essential oils, moisturizing ingredients, a great scent, and more.
Some bath bombs may have fragrance, dyes, or other additives that can trigger sensitive skin or cause irritation or dryness. We’ve highlighted bath bombs that are designed for sensitive skin below, but always perform a patch test with the bomb before jumping into the tub.
