Introduction

I first discovered bath bombs on my honeymoon many years ago.

It was love at first sight for me. I've always been a huge fan of long, hot soaks.

It wasn't until years later when I was hankering for a business idea that my thoughts returned to the mighty bath bomb.

Of course, I had never made a single one at that point. What a learning curve it was! But my dogged persistence paid off in the end and I was able to launch two subscription boxes involving bath bombs.

From there, I was approached to build and supply a wholesale company with CBD Bath Bombs. Loving a challenge, I jumped at the chance and was soon producing 1,000 hand molded bombs a week for them in addition to the bombs for the subscription boxes.

My love filled journey sadly came to an end last year for various reasons.

Now, I am proud to bring you the very same recipes that I used successfully for my businesses. I hope that you enjoy them as much as I do.

What is a Bath Bomb and Why Do I Want One?

According to some circles, Bath Bombs are the quintessential cure for what ails you! A mixture of oils, powders and additives they can be mood enhancers, muscle relievers, sleep aids, super moisturizing and so much more. You are only limited by your imagination.

What specifically makes a bath bomb a bath bomb?

It is essentially the sum of its ingredients. When made properly, a bath bomb will explode with fizzy delight when dropped into a warm bath. These little balls of joy can contain skin loving oils and butters, therapeutic Essential Oils, herbs, and so much more. However, the add-ins do not make it a bath bomb. Two critical ingredients do: baking soda and citric acid. Without either of these dry ingredients, your bombs will not fizz. And a bath bomb that doesn't fizz is just sad.

This booklet covers both regular bath bombs and the newest craze on the market: CBD bath bombs.

Why CBD bombs?
