What ingredients make bath bombs foam?

Bath bombs are a luxurious way to unwind after a long day, and adding foam to this indulgent experience can take it to the next level. Fortunately, adding foam to your bath bombs is a quick and easy process that can elevate your bath time experience. To get started, you'll need to grab some SLSA powder, which is a natural surfactant that creates rich, foamy bubbles in the water. Additionally, adding polysorbate 80 to your bath bomb recipe will help the foam evenly disperse throughout the water, giving you an immersive experience. And let's not forget about the importance of citric acid when it comes to fizzing! With these key ingredients, you'll be on your way to a satisfying, foam-filled bath in no time.
