National Bath Bomb Day is celebrated every May 25. Sometimes, you need to make up an excuse to justify a little bit of me-time. We all just need a little bit of pampering, you know? Well, today, no need for such an excuse. National Bath Bomb Day is all about self-care and relaxation. We are truly lucky to have this unique experience. So, fill the tub and get ready to soak your stress away.
History of National Bath Bomb Day
Mo Constantine, one of the co-founders of Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics wanted to indulge in luxurious baths, but her skin was sensitive and easily irritated when she tried conventional bubble bath products. In 1989, she went into her garden shed and blended baking soda and citric acid for a fizzy effect. She then got creative with colors, essential oils, and add-ins like flower petals and sea salt. The first bath bomb was born right then and there!
A few decades have passed since the luxurious creation that is the bath bomb, and over that time, millions around the world have been lucky enough to experience this unique experience.
National Bath Bomb Day is a day to celebrate self-care and relaxation with the use of bath bombs. Bath bombs are a great addition to your bathtime ritual to create a luxurious and relaxing atmosphere! Bath bombs have become a hot commodity for stress relief, and pure bath time fun. Everyone needs a special day to stop, relax and unwind…and what better way than with a nice warm bath and luxurious bath bomb!
The day was created in February 2021 by Desert Bath Company. May 25 is the day Bath Bombs were first released and sold to the public.
