Is popping a bath bomb into your tub every day the answer to great, smooth skin? Lush says maybe not — as with many of the better things in life, moderation is key. If someone's skin reacts to a bath bomb, it's best to stop immediately and chat with a doctor about possible allergies.
Also, bath bombs can disrupt a person's pH balance in their vagina, causing all types of issues that you definitely do not want. As always, read up on the ingredients in your bath bombs and educate yourself on what you're putting in your water (via Bustle).
Sydney Ziverts, a health and nutrition investigator, told Healthline, "People are using these toxic products on a daily basis, unknowingly exposing themselves and loved ones to harmful ingredients." The potential toxins include fragrance additives like Benzene derivatives, aldehydes (which can increase respiratory allergies), talc (which is associated with ovarian cancer), as well as artificial dyes which have been linked to brain cancer and ADHD.
While you may not feel the effects of a bath bomb's chemical side effects through a rash or an irritation of the skin, you may be exposing your body in other ways. Try to look into more natural bath products or even make your own bath bombs at home.
