What are Bath Fizzers and How Do They Work?

 Oct 25,2022

Bath fizzers are a single-use blend of soothing and fragrant additives used in the bath. The reaction results are a colorful, fragrant bath, with nourishing and moisturizing ingredients from the Bath Bomb soothing your skin. The Bath Bombs release minerals and emollients into the soapy, warm water, allowing them to refresh and rejuvenate your skin while leaving you looking and feeling great. The fragrant oils that are put in Bath Bombs give them aromatherapeutic qualities for the perfect bath time, too, helping you unwind after a long day, release your stress, reset, and refresh in the warm water.

– Sodium bicarbonate (also known as baking soda)

– Citric acid

– Cornstarch (this prevents the ingredients from reacting when dry)

– Often, Essential Oils

– Salts/minerals

– Any additional fragrance/petals/decoration

The key ingredients in bath bombs are sodium bicarbonate and citric acid. When the mixture (usually in spherical form) is placed in warm water, the components dissolve, and the citric acid interacts with the sodium bicarbonate. The chemical reaction in the water causes the mixture to fizz, creating a bubbly, foamy, colorful texture to the water.

Bath bombs are also scented, and the fragrances are released into the water when the bath bomb dissolves. When the bath bomb breaks apart, all the minerals and detoxifying ingredients are released into the water. Thanks to being combined with cornstarch, the two chemical components are prevented from reacting with each other when the bath bomb is dry.

Bath fizzers are used to nourish, soothe, and rejuvenate the skin. The oils and salts nourish and moisturize your skin, and the citric acid helps loosen damaged layers of skin to remove them. This replenishes your dry skin, leaving it smooth, supple, and hydrated.

It’s best to put a bath bomb in the water before you get in. Let the bath fizzer react with the water to form foamy bubbles before you get in.
