Here are all of the different ingredients that are used in my collection of bath bombs.

Sodium bicarbonate, also known as Bicarbonate of Soda is used widely in cosmetics, most notably in bath bombs when combined with citric acid.

Citric acid is odourless, white in colour and comes in the from of granules. It is a compound that can be naturally found in citrus fruits like oranges, limes and lemons.

SLSA is a gentle, natural surfactant that provides a rich, stable lather in your bath bombs, shampoos and other cosmetics. SLSA is quite mild, and is a lot less irritating than SLS. It is a white powder that is relatively fine in grain size, think somewhere between our bicarbonate of soda and citric acid in size.

Cornflour is a basic ingredient also known as cornstarch that is used in bath bombs to slow down the chemical reaction of the bicarbonate of soda and citric acid when it hits the water. | |
