About this deal

Fragrance” is an innocent enough-sounding ingredient. But the truth is, synthetic scents are one of the most toxic ingredients in bath products. Let’s start with this fact: A National Academy of Sciences points out some vital facts: About 95 percent of chemicals used in synthetic fragrances are derived from petroleum (crude oil). ( 1) Common bath bomb fragrance ingredients are synthetic and can cause hormone disruption and increase your risk of diseases like type 2 diabetes, breast cancer and infertility, among other ailments. Boric acid is sometimes used in DIY bath bomb recipes and in store-bought versions. I would avoid it because there’s strong evidence it acts like a hormone disruptor in humans. It’s banned for use in cosmetics in Canada and Japan. There’s no denying a bath fizzy can take your relaxation to a whole new level, but are bath bombs safe? These “bombs” contain complex colorings and fragrances that fizz and dissolve to create (an often glittery) psychedelic-like rainbow in your bathwater. Many bath bombs even contain nourishing natural oils to moisturize your skin. Fake food dyes aren’t just a risk in foods. A breakthrough 2013 Slovenian study found that your skin can actually absorb these toxic dyes, particularly through recently shaven skin and the mucous membranes. From there, the dyes are absorbed directly into your bloodstream, instead of being broken down in the gut or detoxed through the liver. ( 5)

Some store-bought and homemade bath bomb recipes call for boric acid. While this inorganic acid is sometimes beneficial in dealing with vaginal yeast infections and athlete’s foot due to its strong anti-fungal properties, it does have a downside. Watch out for ingredients like “fragrance,”“fragrance oils,”“fragrance oil blend” or similar ones. These are legal catch-all terms for any combination of about 3,000 toxic fragrance ingredients that won’t appear on the label. Fragrance mixtures have been linked to cancer, neurotoxicity, allergens, respiratory irritants and environmental toxicants. Acetaldehyde, one common fragrance compound, is potentially carcinogenic to humans and adversely impacts the kidneys, nervous system and respiratory system. ( 4) Chemical fragrances that fall under the “fragrance” term on the ingredients list can also disrupt the vagina’s natural pH balance, increasing the risk of vaginal yeast infections. ( 9) Common dyes used in bath bombs have been shown to cause allergy-like reactions and symptoms of ADHD in children. Some are contaminated with cancer-causing substances, while other test tube and animal studies link certain popular food dyes to neuron damage and a higher risk of brain cancer. Certain yellow dyes may even increase the risk of adrenal and kidney cancers. These are NOT risks I’m willing to take just for the sake of a fizzy bath. ( 6) Now, for the good news. I’ve crafted a much safer bath bomb option without the harmful ingredients listed above. If you want the fizz without the artificial dyes and hormone-disrupting chemicals, try making this homemade bath bomb recipe.Popular bath fizzy ingredients are linked to ailments like asthma, eczema, ADHD, cancer and other diseases. Glitter used in store-bought and homemade bath bombs can pollute water once they wash down the drain.

Food dyes common in bath bombs can be absorbed through broken, irritated or recently shaved skin. From there, it goes straight into your bloodstream. Some food dyes are linked to cancer, ADHD, allergic reactions and more. Many bath bombs also contain glitter, tiny pieces of plastic that won’t biodegrade once they wash down your drain. That’s not just trouble for wildlife. Small bits of plastic glitter aren’t things I’d want near my mucous membranes.
