Bath Fizzies - Great for Kiddos
Bath Fizzies are concentrated, effervescent bath products designed to dissolve quickly in warm water, releasing fragrance, color, and skin-conditioning ingredients. They combine a base of baking soda and citric acid with oils, butters, salts, and botanical additives to create a sensory, spa-like soak.
Key Attributes
Effervescence: Immediate fizzing upon contact with water for an engaging sensory experience.
Fragrance release: Essential oils, fragrance oils, or natural extracts disperse scent into the bath steam.
Skin conditioning: Butters (shea, cocoa), carrier oils (sweet almond, jojoba), and humectants (glycerin) help soften and hydrate skin.
Color and visual appeal: Cosmetic-grade colorants and mica produce vibrant or subtle bathwater hues and shimmer.
Solubility: Formulated to dissolve cleanly without leaving heavy residue; balanced ratio of dry and wet-binding agents prevents excess sediment.
Preservation: Dry, individually wrapped storage and inclusion of botanicals only when appropriate to avoid mold; no water in the formula preserves longevity.
Common Ingredients
Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) — base, softens water
Citric acid — acid component for fizz reaction
Cornstarch or kaolin clay — binding, slower fizz, skin feel
Epsom salt or sea salt — muscle-soothing minerals
Magnesium sulfate — muscle relief source (Epsom salt)
Carrier oils — emollient properties
Butters — skin conditioning and luxurious texture
Polysorbate 80 — emulsifier to disperse oils and prevent surface film
Mica or FD&C colorants — color and shimmer
Essential or fragrance oils — scent profile
Botanical additives — dried flowers or herbs, used sparingly
