Bath Bomb FAQs

What is a bath bomb?

This is such a popular question. For those new to the colourful, fizzing, foaming world of bath bombs it can be quite overwhelming. So bath bombs are a mixture of essentially sodium bicarbonate and citric acid. When this activates with water it creates a fizz and then dissolves. You'll find these two ingredients in things such as toothpaste, shampoos, shower foam and even in effervescent vitamins. 

What we do to make it more fun is add colour, fragrance, and oils to enhance your bath experience. We use three different oils in our bath bombs and a range of essential and fragrance oils to leave your skin feeling soft, nourished and smelling amazing.

Most people are used to the high street scent - however here at Sabao we created a more sophisticated version of bath bombs for adults. The Wellness Collection uses two main essential oils which does not over stimulate your senses. They have been carefully chosen and combined to help alleviate modern day stressors. The fragrances used for the kids bath bombs have again been carefully chosen so that they smell amazing but are not overpowering. They contain apricot kernel oil that gently conditions the skin and are perfect for all skin types.

What makes bath bombs moisturising?

Here at Sabao we use four different oils when making our bath bombs. These include organic cocoa butter, apricot kernel oil, sweet almond oil and shea butter. These are all know for their skin conditioning properties but also help hydrate and protect the skins barrier.

Can I store bath bombs in bathroom?

No. The humidity and steam can activate the bath bomb. We would suggest storing your bath bombs away from direct heat, humidity and sunlight. Do not store them in air-tight jars. Instead, opt of a shoe box, brown paper bag or cupboard where is it dry and away from sunlight. 

Why should I use a bath bomb?

Well, if you have a bath - why not? Try it and see if you like it! If you don't have a bath we offer Shower Steamers. These can be placed in your shower tray or at your feet - they activate in the same way as a bath bomb releasing all those wonderful aromas to calm or invigorate your senses!
