How to Make Fizzing Bath Salts
Do Bath Salts Make Bubbles?
Regular bath salt recipes do not make bubbles. They are meant for their scent or other therapeutic benefits.
However, this fizzy bath salts recipe is meant to make bubbles.
How Do You Make Bath Salts Fizzy?
You can make bath salts fizzy a few different ways. You can use citric acid and baking soda to create a reaction that bubbles and fizzes when it hits the water. That's how I made these unicorn fizzy bath salts.
You can also use SLSa, which is used to create thick bubbles in bath bombs and other bath products.
The majority of my recipes are for home use, and I'm pretty sure that you don't have SLSa on your shelf. For that reason, I want to show you how to make fizzing bath salts without SLSa.
Instead, I used a body wash for this bubbling bath salt recipe. You can also use a bubble bath if you prefer.
Can You Put Citric Acid in Bath Salts?
Yes, you can put citric acid in bath salts. However, you will also need to add baking soda if you want bubbling bath salts. It's the reaction between the two when they get wet that creates the bubbles.

If you want to make a foaming bath salts recipe without citric acid, then you will have to use SLSa or a body wash or bubble bath like I used in this recipe.

How Do I Keep My Bath Salts From Clumping?
Bath salts, including this fizzy bath salts recipe, will clump if exposed to the air. The salt draws moisture from the air, creating chunks.
As soon as you make this bubbling bath salt recipe, store it in an airtight container. I don't recommend storing it in your bathroom because it is too humid.
Can You Put Bubbling Bath Salts in Plastic Containers?
Yes, you can absolutely put your bubbling bath salts in plastic containers. If you use essential oils, then there's some concern about using essential oils in plastic.
However, they will be diluted, and the plastic should not deteriorate.
I prefer plastic for my fizzy bath salts recipe because I don't want broken glass in the bathroom if I drop it. I'm clumsy, so it's a concern for me.
What Kind of Salt is Used in Bath Salts?
You can use Epsom salt like I did in this bubbling bath salt recipe. You can also use sea salt.
The Best Bubble Bath or Body Wash for Fizzy Bath Salts Recipe

Mountain Rose Herb just came out with an unscented bubble bath base. It's all natural and made with aloe vera juice and plant derived surfactants for big bubbles without any sulfates or parabens.
Essential Oils for Foaming Bath Salts Recipe
If you use a scented bubble bath or body wash, then you don't need to add any essential oils. However, if you use the unscented base, then you can add 1 to 2 percent essential oils.
You can use your favorite blends, but I recommend one of the following:
