As a kind of fun products with simple principles and easy to make, bath bombs have been very popular on social networks in recent years, with a large number of domestic and foreign brands, chemical manufacturers and family workshops, and Bomb Cosmetics is one of the most outstanding ones.
Founded in 1998, Bomb Cosmetics initially mainly sold all kinds of bath bombs similar to LUSH, and after more than 20 years of development, it has gradually expanded its product line to fragrance candles, shampoos, shower gels, body lotions and other daily chemical products, attracting many consumers with its sweet and cute appearance and lower prices, and becoming a strong competitor of LUSH.
Bomb Cosmetics' bath bombs can be broadly divided into three types according to their size and shape: a 200g traditional bath bomb, a 30g mini bath bomb, and a cupcake-shaped bath bomb weighing about 50g. Taking round bath balls as an example, there are many styles that mold raw materials into flowers, dolls, and other shapes and inlay them on the main body, which greatly enhances the playability of bath balls. In terms of fragrance, Bomb Cosmetics bath bombs are mainly divided into two types: plant fragrance and food fragrance, and the plant fragrance type adds essential oils with soothing and relaxing effects, including sweet orange, bergamot, lavender, etc.; The food flavor type uses the flavors of foods such as synthetic honey, cocoa, fruit syrup, and cream such as flavors and essential oils, and the smell is very sweet.
Most of Bomb Cosmetics' products are foaming bath bombs, using SLS as a surfactant, which is irritating, and some models also add fragrances with the possibility of allergization, which has a certain risk of allergies. In addition, Bomb Cosmetics' bath bombs are infused with vegetable oils such as cocoa butter and shea butter, which will make the body feel moisturized and smooth after bathing, but due to the large number of pigments and decorations in the water, it needs to be rinsed with water twice, and the moisturizing effect is weakened, so it is not a substitute for skin care routines.
Bomb Cosmetics' bath bombs cost about £2 each in the UK, and they are currently available online at counters in Beijing, Shanghai and other cities in China, at about 40-60 yuan each, which is much more expensive than the local price.
