So here's the good news! We have done all the hard work for you! Below You'll find a simplified list of base ingredients used in all of our products, so here it is for all to see.. THE BIG SECRET... 

​

• Sodium Bicarbonate

(Baking Soda)

 Sodium Bicarbonate, commonly known as baking soda, is a salt that breaks down to form sodium and bicarbonate when added to water. It is proven treatment for skin conditions such as Eczema, psoriasis, stings, bites and allergic reactions. Sodium Bicarbonate is also a key ingredient in products like deodorant and toothpaste, as it is  an all-natural cleanser. When used in cosmetic products it has a long list of fantastic benefits including helping to remove dead skin, ultimately leaving your skin softer and smoother and creating that amazing silky water that makes bath time all the more relaxing and enjoyable.

​

• Citric Acid

 The combination of Citric Acid and sodium bicarbonate is what makes Bubblebeez Bath products fizz when they come into contact with water. Citric is a purely organic acid extracted from fruits like oranges, lemons and grapefruits, that helps to re-hydrate the skin, unclog our pores, helps to brighten, soften and smooth the skin.

​

• Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate

 (SLSA)

 Not to be confused with the harsher SLS products Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate is a 100% natural alternative which is derived from coconuts. SLSA is a lot kinder to our skin than its counterpart and causes that beautiful foaming bath art you see as your bath bomb dissolves.

• Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis

(Sweet almond oil)

 Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis, commonly known as sweet almond oil is another base product using in so many popular cosmetics including lipstick, night skin care products, moisturisers and sun-creams.

• Parfums

(Fragrance Oils)

 Bubblebeez only use the highest quality fragrance oils. All 100% Vegan and cruelty free and strong enough to last without being over powering.

• Water Soluble Dyes

 The dyes used in our products are of course what give our bombs there beautiful colours and your bath water its amazing final result, using water soluble dyes means our products wont stain your bathroom, towels, skin, hair or any other surface they may come into contact with. If you find a mark left behind when you’re done simply run a little water over the surface and wipe away. Any clothing stained by these products will wash completely clean in the machine without transferring to other items. We do occasionally hear of children playing with the bombs while they dissolve which will more than likely result in some colourful fingers, however this will also wash off under warm water.

​

• ​Zea Mays starch

 (Corn starch)

 Zea Mays starch, commonly known as corn starch, when used in cosmetics plays the role of a conditioner and cleansing agent for our skin and hair, Bubblebeez use Corn starch as a binding agent, meaning it binds the other ingredients together and helps the bombs hold there amazing shapes.
