]]>Bath bombs are a delightful addition to any bath, turning a simple soak into a luxurious and fun experience. What's even better is that you can easily create these fizzy wonders at home. Let's dive into the purpose of bath bombs and what the ingredients are actually doing!
Baking Soda: The key ingredient for fizziness and softening the water.
Citric Acid: Helps create the fizz when combined with baking soda.
Cream of Tartar:Â Adds silkiness to the water and binds the ingredients.
Magnesium Salt: Relaxes muscles and soothes the skin.
Essential Oils: For fragrance and aromatherapy benefits. Choose scents that relax or invigorate, like lavender or citrus.
Nourishing Oils: Provides moisture and helps bind the mixture.
Colouring (optional): Adds colour to your bath bomb.
Witch Hazel (a few spritzes): Helps bind the ingredients together.
Polysorbate 80: Helps bind the oils and water together and reduces the colour residue in the bath
Homemade bath bombs are a fantastic way to personalize your bath experience and make wonderful gifts for loved ones. Get creative with coloUrs and scents, and soon you'll be treating yourself to spa-like baths in the comfort of your home.

]]>When I first started Hot Mess Body, I didn't realise I was creating a product that would be so helpful to parents and children for Bath Time! I started Hot Mess Body because I love Bath Bombs and when I realised how much our Bath Bombs helped make Bath Time much more exciting for young ones, we knew we had to create some really fun ones for them! These 4 Bath Bombs will help encourage Bath Time:
Â
1. The Dino Toy Bath Bomb
This fun Bath Bomb will burst out colours of Orange and Purple and the scent of Grape Bubblegum, awesome right? Well it gets better, with 30 different Dinosaurs to collect!Â
Â
2. The Unicorn Toy Bath Bomb
A beautiful scent of Blackberries and Strawberries! After watching the beautiful shades of blue, pink and purple fizz out, you'll find a Unicorn Toy inside! Either an adorable silicone Unicorn Ring to wear after bath time, or an adorable mini Unicorn figurine!Â
Â
3. The Rainbow Waffle Bath Bomb
What is more fun the a Rainbow Bath Bomb? One that is Rainbow and shaped like a Waffle! This one is such a hit because you can break it up into 3 - 4 uses or use it all at once! So fun!
Â
4. The Rainbow Cloud Bath Bomb
We've saved the best for last (in my opinion!), this white fluffy cloud shaped Bath Bomb smells incredibly of Juicy Watermelon AND it bursts out a hidden Rainbow! The ultimate Bath Bomb no matter your age!

]]>For me, my favourite part of using a Bath Bomb is watching it fizz and bubble in the bath. I feel like itâs exciting whether youâre a child or an adult!
Letâs talk chemical reactions! Donât worry, we arenât getting too technical here but it is pretty cool what happens to make a Bath Bomb fizz with pretty colours and amazing scents!
When a chemical reaction happens, it is literally how it sounds; chemicals reacting with other chemicals. The Ingredients we use react with the water, creating that explosion!
Everyone produces Bath Bombs differently, you can use different scents, colours, oils and some use clays, botanicals and salts. However, a Bath Bomb will always contain 2 ingredients: Sodium Bicarbonate and Citric Acid. Without these 2 ingredients your Bath Bomb will not fizz (and really, without the fizz, is it even a Bath Bomb?).
Sodium Bicarbonate and Citric Acid wonât naturally fizz unless they come into contact with water. This is how they can coexist in a Bath Bomb (and other beauty products) without reacting. When water is introduced it activates the fizz in your Bath Bomb.
If you wanted to see the Chemical equation for this reaction here is what it looks like:Â
3 NaHCO3Â +Â C6H8O7Â ââ>Â 3CO2Â +Â C6H5Na3O7Â + 3 H2O
(Sodium Bicarbonate + Citric Acid ââReacting with Waterââ> Carbon Dioxide + Sodium Citrate + Water)
So to really simplify it, a Bath Bomb is added to water which then reacts and makes the Sodium Bicarbonate and Citric Acid produce Carbon Dioxide (gas), Sodium Citrate (Salt) and Water - Pretty cool!
This reaction is what makes a Bath Bomb so unique, which is why we use these ingredients as the majority of what goes into a Bath Bomb.
Hot Mess Body also uses Clays, Colourants, Oils and sometimes even Botanicals in our Bath Bombs.Â

Almond Oil
Almonds are filled with nutritious vitamins and protein but when people arenât busy snacking on them, the extracted oil is used in so many different products! Almond oil is an anti-inflammatory and has emollient qualities (thatâs a fancy word for softening or soothing the skin), it's been used for thousands of years to treat dry skin and reduce scarring. Many skin care companies like to use this oil to help repair and maintain healthy skin, which is why we blend Almond Oil with other nourishing Oils and Butters in our Lip Conditioner range.
Â
Aloe VeraÂ
Aloe Vera is one of those popular plants that everyone knows about. Theyâre used in Skincare products, Drinks and even can be in Salads and Dips! Plus, since theyâre a succulent, they make a great houseplant too.Â
The reason for its popularity is simple - Aloe Vera has a long history of being helpful. From way back in Ancient Egypt til today, itâs been grown and fashioned into various forms but we adore it for the therapeutic skin benefits. We use Aloe Vera in our Face Masks via a powdered form to give you a smooth, clear and hydrated face, thanks to the anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory properties.
Â
Coconut
Coconuts are incredible, full of nutritious value and they just smell and taste amazing. We use both Coconut Milk and Coconut Oil in our products.
Coconut Milk is made by grating the white pulp of the coconut, soaking it in hot water and extracting all that good stuff into a creamy and sweet mixture. Then itâs strained and voila - amazingly therapeutic and delicious Coconut Milk! It has excellent moisturising properties, Vitamin C and smells divine! Hence why we use it as a core ingredient in our Coconut Soak range.
Unlike Coconut Milk, Coconut oil is extracted by pressing either fresh or dried coconut fruit to squeeze it out. Itâs used as an anti-inflammatory, helping against free radicals, and contains a lot of Lauric Acid which boosts Collagen production! The perfect Ingredient for our Lip Exfoliatior range.
Â
Coffee
Coffee needs no introduction, I think? We all love that caffeine hit to keep us going, but as the culture around Coffee has evolved, the beauty industry have found many, amazing ways to use it in our daily skincare routine!
Coffee granules are an excellent exfoliant; theyâre natural, gritty and smell SO GOOD - what's not to love? Plus the caffeine in the granules helps boost blood flow giving you beautiful skin a glow up! We created our Coffee Scrub to help remove any dry skin and lock in moisture!
Â
Grapeseed Oil
Grapeseed Oil is just that, Oil thatâs pressed out of Grape Seeds. Itâs actually a by-product from making Wine (to make use of those leftover seeds). The skin care benefits come from a high content of Vitamin E and Omega-6, which are moisturising and help protect from free radicals. Itâs super absorbent on your skin, whilst being a light Oil that wonât clog your pores. The perfect ingredient for Oily/Acne Prone skin!
We use it in our Whipped Soap range to give your skin these amazing benefits whilst enjoying a bubbly foamy Soap.
Â
Jojoba Oil
Jojoba Oil is an amazing ingredient, extracted from the resilient, Jojoba Shrub that grows in some dry regions of Mexico and southwestern USA. It's extracted by cold pressing the seeds and filtering through until you get a gorgeous oil with so many benefits!
Reasons to use this ingredient: Moisturising, an antibacterial, an antioxidant, hypoallergenic, reduces dry skin and inflammation.Â
Reasons not to use this ingredient: nil
We use Jojoba Oil in our Lip Conditioner range because of its amazing properties that give you smooth, supple and healthy lips!
Â
Pomegranate Seed Oil
Fun Fact: Pomegranate's name comes from Medieval Latin meaning âApple Seeded". This fruit has a lot of history behind it, especially since it was one of the first domesticated trees in the Mediterranean Region several thousand years ago. By using this oil, you can help your skin in a variety of ways:
1) Relieving dry and discomforted skin
2) Speeding up healing wounds
3) Moisturising without clogging pores
4) Boosting collagen production and helping skin elasticity!
Our Detox Clay Mask makes use of this Oil to help repair and rejuvenate your skin after drawing out impurities and controlling any spots or acne.
Â
Sugar
Sugar is often given a bad name for health reasons (that wonât stop me having my 2 teaspoons in my tea), but your skin can really benefit from it! Our skin gains a lot from a good exfoliation, and the texture and properties of sugar help with that.
Exfoliating your skin with Sugar Granules will help to open up the pores and remove any built up dirt and debris, making it easier to absorb any oils or moisturisers put on afterwards, creating beautiful, silky smooth skin.
Our Body Scrub range makes uses Sugars, Walnuts, Salts and Coffee to help exfoliate the skin!
