Lush bath bombs are handmade and contain a gentle blend of sodium bicarbonate, citric acid, and other beautiful ingredients to help turn your bath into a fun, soothing haven. The simplistic ingredients of baking soda and fruit sugar (sodium bicarbonate and citric acid) create a simple fizz in the water. Some bath bombs also contain a bit of bubbling action, so its recommended to check the label or ask a friendly staff member to find one that will build the bathing experience you want. Lush uses organic and sustainable ingredients that will not threaten the environment or animals. However, some Lush bath bombs contain synthetic ingredients such as sodium sulfate and color additives, which are FDA approved for use in food, drugs, and cosmetics. Lush has a full line of products claimed to be "handmade," "fresh," "natural," and "cosmetics with nothing to hide". Some Lush products contain controversial ingredients such as parabens, SLS, SLES, or synthetic fragrances. Lush also has a self-preservation line where they use ingredients like vegetable glycerin, honey, and cocoa butter to preserve their products.
