We have sourced the highest quality Citric Acid for you create the best quality bath bombs. The fine granules gives a smooth result and the anyhdrous (without water) format gives a hard shell finish.
Citric Acid is a key ingredient for making bath bombs. The chemical reaction between water, sodium bicarbonate and the citric acid produces the fizz and bubbles when a finished bath bomb hits the water. It's all to do with the science!
Use the Citric Acid with Sodium Bicarbonate in the ratio of 3 parts Sodium Bicarbonate to 1 part citric acid as the base to creating your bath bombs. This ratio can be changed to your own specification but it we would recommend that it always needs to be at least 1:1.
Without the Citric Acid you will not be able to create a fizzy bath bomb.
Citric Acid is also popular in the household cleaning routine, where it is commonly used as a descaler for kettles and dishwashers.
