All these ingredients we will discuss offer these bath bombs the ultimate soothing effect and aromatic experience you will expect from them. Let’s know each ingredient in detail.

Baking soda is an important ingredient as it helps to soften the bath water and also soothes the skin.
It also helps balance the skin’s pH levels which can further help in bringing relief from skin irritation or inflammation caused by allergies.
2. Epsom Salts
Epsom salts also help detoxify the body by drawing out all sorts of impurities through the skin.
The bath bomb's primary ingredient is epsom salt because this ingredient helps relieve muscle tension, reduces inflammation, and promotes relaxation throughout the body.
3. Citric Acid
Another important ingredient for coffee bath bombs is citric acid. This ingredient helps give your bath bombs the fizzing action.
Further, citric acid also helps to exfoliate the skin gently, removes dead skin cells, and reveals a glowing and smoother complexion.
4. Virgin Olive Oil
Virgin olive oil is rich in antioxidants and vitamins which help promote healthy and radiant skin health.
You may probably know that virgin olive oil is a natural moisturizer. Also, it helps deeply nourish and hydrate the skin from inside leaving it plump and smooth.
5. Coffee Grounds
Coffee grounds provide gentle exfoliation, removing dead skin cells and leaving the skin smooth and refreshed.
Last but surely the most important ingredient for coffee bath bombs is the coffee itself. The caffeine in coffee can also improve circulation and reduce the appearance of cellulite.
