Bath bombs aren't just for fun in the tub! There are many benefits of using high quality bath bombs and My Best Me Naturally makes theirs with the highest quality natural ingredients with no added color or scent. We are proud of the fact that we keep all of our products simple and with purpose!
Bath bombs have a wide range of benefits. Skin softening, relieve itching and soothing achy muscles are just a few of the common ones. But lets dig a little deeper.
What Are The Benefits Of The Ingredients In Our Bath Bombs?
All of our bath bombs are made with sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), magnesium sulfate (epsom salt), corn starch, citric acid, nigella sativa (black seed) oil, coconut oil, witch hazel and essential oils.
Baking soda can soothe and relieve yeast infection symptoms such as itching, burning and swelling. Baking soda may also have a positive effect on vaginal pH. It can also help to soothe and heal eczema and is often a treatment for psoriasis. And, did you know that Baking soda has cleansing and detoxifying properties that may help to purify your body and boost immunity?
Epsom salt is a source of magnesium and is easily absorbed through the skin. The majority of the North American population is deficient in magnesium causing many health issues such as insomnia, stress, restless legs and cramps, headaches, and constipation. Because it is so easily absorbed Epsom salt baths have shown to help relieve these issues.
Corn starch is one of the most powerful, but widely unused, secrets against a lot of bodily issues like soothing sunburn, and to relieve itching from skin allergies and bug bites.
Citric acid is a naturally occurring agent present in many citrus fruits. These include lemons, oranges, grapefruits, and limes. Not only is it an exfoliator to help rid skin of dead cells, but it helps to unclog pores! It also helps to brighten, soften and balance pH levels. Cool right?!
Black seed oil is our heavy hitter!! Black seed oil has a rich and diverse chemical composition containing the phytochemicals thymoquinone and crystalline nigellone, antioxidants, amino acids, proteins, carbohydrates,
essential fatty acids, and minerals like calcium, iron, and
potassium. Thymoquinone is the chief bioactive constituent exhibiting potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory activities which help treat acne, eczema, general dry skin and psoriasis. Each bath bomb contains 50mg of thymoquinone! Yes, that's a lot packed into one bomb.
Coconut oil helps bolster your skin's protective barrier layer, trapping moisture inside and keeping skin supple and hydrated. Coconut oil has anti-inflammatory properties, making it beneficial for irritated, chafed skin.
Witch Hazel has been used for hundreds of years to soothe irritated skin and help heal minor wounds. It has anti-inflammatory properties which make it an effective remedy for hemorrhoids and eczema.
Lastly, each bath bomb contains a safe amount of essential oils that are 100% pure and therapeutic graded. Essential oils contain all different kinds of medicinal properties. Adding them to our unique recipe above makes these bath bombs on the market! They'll have you coming back for more :)
