If you have sensitive skin or eczema, you may think that bath bombs are off-limits for you. We've all seen (and smelt) the garish coloured bath bombs that contain harsh chemicals such as dyes and fragrances that can irritate your skin, eyes, and lungs, or cause headaches or nausea. Some bath bombs may even have glitter or confetti that can clog your drain or scratch your skin.
But, help is at hand with Biome! You can still enjoy the fun and fizz of bath bombs without compromising your skin health. The key is to choose natural bath bombs that are made with gentle ingredients. Natural bath bombs are gentle and nourishing for your skin, and they do not contain artificial colours, fragrances, or preservatives. They also do not contain any petrochemicals, such as parabens, sulphates, or phthalates.
So what are natural bath bombs made from? The main ingredients of natural bath bombs are bi-carb soda (baking soda) and citric acid. Baking soda is a base that helps soften the water and make your skin smooth. Citric acid is an acid that reacts with baking soda to create the fizz and bubbles. Together, they create a chemical reaction that releases carbon dioxide gas and makes your bath water fizz.
Other ingredients of natural bath bombs are essential oils and botanicals. Essential oils are natural extracts from plants that have various benefits for your skin and mood. They can help soothe, heal, moisturise, or energise your skin, as well as relax, uplift, or invigorate your mind. Botanicals are dried flowers, herbs, or fruits that add colour, scent, and texture to your bath. They can also provide additional benefits for your skin, such as exfoliation, hydration, or anti-inflammation.
Natural bath bombs can help soothe your sensitive skin, as well as relax your tense nerves and promote a good night's sleep.
Here are some of the best natural bath bombs for sensitive skin:
Lavender Bath Bomb: Lavender is a soothing and calming herb that can help reduce inflammation and redness on your skin. It can also help you relax and sleep better.
Oatmeal Bath Bomb: Oatmeal is a natural exfoliant that can gently remove dead skin cells and dirt from your pores. It can also moisturise and protect your skin from dryness and irritation. An oatmeal bath soak may be even more soothing, as it does not have any citric acid. Find Biome's oatmeal bath soak here
Chamomile Bath Bomb: Chamomile is a soothing and healing herb that can help heal wounds and rashes on your skin. It can also help you relax and ease stress.
Rose Bath Bomb: Rose is a romantic and luxurious flower that can help tone and brighten your skin. It can also help you feel more confident and happy.
These are just some of the natural bath bombs that you can use for your sensitive skin. So, if you suffer from sensitivities, eczema, psoriasis, please avoid synthetic dyes and fragrances and petrochemical ingredients in your bath bomb.
