EFFERVESCENT BATH BOMBS

Ever wonder what a BOSSANOVA Bath Bomb is?

Beautiful BOSSANOVA Bath Bombs
Our Bath bombs are refreshing and rejuvenating solid balls of salts and minerals that react vigorously when dissolved in water to release carbon dioxide in a characteristic fizzing over a period of several minutes.  This occurs because two of the main ingredients, sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and citric acid, react with each other when they encounter water.

Not only are bath bombs fun, but our BOSSANOVA Bath Bombs are packed with various Salts Clays and Oils as well as a generous helping of fragrance and essential oils to help melt your tensions away.  The Salts and Clays will detoxify your skin by neutralizing toxins while also acting to draw toxins out of your pores.  As your skin becomes rejuvenated by these salts and clays, therapeutic oils within our Bath Bombs will leave your skin feeling soft and nourished.   

PEPPERMINT ICE BOMB, VANILLA BUTTERBALL, NAG CHAMPA DELIGHT
Bottom line? Throw a BOSSANOVA Bath Bomb in to your next bath and they will fizz to release not only many beneficial ingredients to the bath water, but also a wonderful relaxing aroma into the air.  Listed below are some short descriptions of the wonderful ingredients that make up our Bath Bombs.

CITRIC ACID
Citric acid is an alpha hydroxy acid and is a very powerful antioxidant that stimulates collagen production and helps neutralize skin damaging free radicals.

SODIUM BICARBONATE
Commonly known as baking soda, Sodium Bicarbonate not only softens the water to make your bath feel silky smooth, but is also an effective detoxifier to leave you feeling refreshed and awakened.

CLAYS
Clays purify and detoxify the skin and the underlying tissues to help your skin stay healthy and radiant.

EPSOM SALTS
Epsom Salts, also known as Magnesium Sulfate, are readily absorbed through the skin to combat hypertension and promote relaxation. Magnesium plays a number of roles in the body including regulating the activity of over 325 enzymes, reducing inflammation, helping muscle and nerve function and helping to prevent artery hardening. Sulfates help improve the absorption of nutrients, flush toxins and help ease headaches.

OTHER SALTS
Other Salts such as Mediterranean Sea Salt, Dead Sea Salt, and Himalayan Salt are naturally rich in nourishing and skin-replenishing minerals to give a truly a renewing and therapeutic experience for your mind and body.

OILS
Many oils such as Sweet Almond Oil, Avocado Oil, Hemp Seed Oil, and Cocoa Butter will make your bath an even more pleasant and relaxing experience by nourishing and softening your skin.

The Joys of Activated Charcoal

One of the most purifying and detoxifying natural compound for your skin is Activated Charcoal.  Dating back to as early as 1550BC, activated charcoal has been used across the globe by many different cultures for use in treating various skin conditions and ailments.   
Activated Charcoal from Bramble Berry
Activated charcoal has high absorptive powers, which means that it draws other elements into itself. Regular use can help to eliminate acne, bumps, and blackheads by cleaning skin deeply by clearing pores while improving the texture of the skin by removing dry patches. 

BLACK SALT
Our activated charcoal powder comes from bamboo wood (a renewable resource), and is activated through exposure heat and steam. This process causes the carbon to form enlarged "pores" on its surface, that literally trap toxins and contaminants removing them your skin through a process is known as adsorption.

PEPPERMINT CHARCOAL w/ CLAY
Your skin is a living organ that can allow chemicals and toxins to pass both into and out of your body. Using Activated Charcoal on the skin will purify away and prevent many of these toxins from entering your body to leave you with fresher and cleaner skin.
