Know About Oatmeal Bath Bomb Ingredients
Before we dive into the DIY recipe for making an oatmeal bath bomb, you must know about the ingredients you will be using and what benefits you will reap from the ingredients of the oatmeal bath bomb. Let's discuss each ingredient in detail.
1. Ground Oats
Ground oats is a very nourishing and moisturizing ingredient that helps soothe itchy skin and brings relief to inflammation.
One of the primary ingredients that you will be using to make oatmeal bath bombs is ground oats. It also gently cleanses the skin because of the presence of small amounts of saponins.
2. Shea Butter
Another ingredient that you will be using is shea butter. We all know that shea butter boasts wonderful skin benefits.
The butter is absorbed into the skin and creates a protective barrier for a long time. It does all of this while nourishing and healing the skin.
3. Chamomile & Lavender Essential Oils
How can we forget about the fragrance that can be added to your bath bombs with Chamomile and Lavender Essential oil?
Both essential oils boast anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that promote healthy, smooth skin. They also fight well with many skin conditions like eczema and wounds.
4. Polysorbate 80
Last but surely not the least ingredient you can't miss out on when creating oatmeal bath bombs is polysorbate 80.
It is a kind of emulsifier and solubilizer that helps disperse the oil evenly in the bath water. Not just that, it also prevents ils from clinging to the side and bottom of the tub, making it less slippery when exiting.
