CBD bath bombs
CBD bath bombs may be one of the most relaxing and refreshing ways to use and take CBD especially for full body pain or intense stress. The water soluble CBD in the bath bombs enters your system via your skin increasing the bio availability for the amount of CBD your body draws in from the bath bombs. Paired with the hot water opening the pores in your skin and relaxing your muscles, a CBD bath bomb allows your body not only to heal itself but also work with the CBD to speed up the healing process and potentially take away some of your pain.
Bath bombs also can be a better alternative for people who don’t feel comfortable ingesting CBD products or may feel ingesting CBD just doesn’t work for them as well as a topical product would. When talking about CBD and its effects, it can be tricky to know where to start considering that every person's endocannabinoid system is unique to them, just like a finger print where no two people will be the same.
What is the endocannabinoid system?
The endocannabinoid system (also known as ECS) is a complex network of receptors, enzymes, and chemical messengers found throughout the body. It plays a crucial role in regulating various physiological and psychological functions and helps bring your body back into balance. Cannabinoids, the active compounds found in the cannabis plant and the hemp plant, directly interact with the endocannabinoid system via CB1 and CB2 receptors. When you use a CBD bath bomb, the water soluble CBD will absorb via CB1 receptors found in your skin.
Since the endocannabinoid system helps keep your body in balance, it is involved in a wide range of functions, including:
-
Pain perception and management
-
Appetite and metabolism
-
Mood and anxiety
-
Sleep and wakefulness
-
Memory and cognitive function
-
Immune function
-
Bone health
-
Reproductive health
Benefits of CBD bath bombs
The benefits of CBD bath bombs can vary person to person. Some find that it dulls down the pain by large amounts and some may find that it eases their stress. CBD bath bombs are well-known for their relaxation benefits. CBD oil has been shown to help lower anxiety levels, making it easier to unwind. When combined with essential oils like lemongrass and lavender, it can make the calming effects amplified. Lavender is celebrated for its stress-relieving properties, while lemon grass is known for its soothing effects.
This combination can make CBD bath bombs a perfect addition to your self-care routine, especially after a long, stressful day. One of the most common benefits of a CBD bath bomb is their ability to provide potential pain relief when absorbed through the skin. CBD interacts with the body's cannabinoid receptors to alleviate pain. This gives them the potential to be effective for various types of pain, including but not limited to arthritis, muscle spasms, menstrual cramps, and back pain.
Do CBD bath bombs help with inflammation?
CBD bath bombs also can help with inflammation which can be a major source of discomfort. Fortunately, CBD is a powerful anti-inflammatory. This makes CBD bath bombs an excellent choice for workout recovery or any situation where you need to reduce localized inflammation. A study published in the National Library of Medicine found that topical CBD could reduce inflammation and pain-related behaviors in a rat model with arthritis.
Common ingredients in bath bombs
The most seen ingredients in bath bombs are baking soda and citric acid along with others like Epsom salt, essential oils, colorants, cornstarch, and witch hazel. But the witch hazel can be substituted with water for those allergic to it.
Baking soda and citric acid
Baking soda is added as a base and is essential for the fizzing reaction while citric acid acts as the acid and reacts with the baking soda to create carbon dioxide bubbles, causing the fizz.
Epsom salt and essential oils
Epsom salt is used for its relaxing and soothing effects and, while paired with essential oils, gives the bath bombs a great smell.
coloring
We add colorants to our CBD bath bombs to give customers a visually pleasing experience and cornstarch can be added to help with the texture and to slow down the fizzing reaction.

Most people say it helps, but there are a select few who share that it doesn't work for them as well as other methods so it is all about how your endocannabinoid system works.
Some things you may hear when talking about CBD bath bombs
There’s not enough evidence to show
that bath bombs are effective. The CBD becomes diluted in the bathwater and doesn’t absorb into the epidermis very well as CBD oil is hydrophobic. However, you feel relaxed from the other ingredients in the bath bombs such as essential oils and the act of taking a warm bath.
Which in most cases is true and proven however they will talk about CBD oil, that's why at Discover CBD we do not use traditional CBD oil for our bath bombs due to it being hydrophobic, and not allowing the CBD to absorb through the skin. Here at Discover CBD we use water soluble CBD powder allowing it to mix evenly throughout the water in your skin increasing the bioavailability of our bath bombs versus our competitors.
What is bioavailability?
Bioavailability refers to the extent a substance or drug becomes completely available to its intended biological destination. More accurately, bioavailability is a measure of the rate and fraction of the initial dose of a drug that successfully reaches either the site of action or the bodily fluid domain, from which the drug's intended targets have unimpeded access.
Our skin acts as a natural barrier that limits the absorption of cannabinoids applied topically. This is why higher concentrations of CBD, may often produce better results when applied to the skin. Some topical treatments, like CBD, can work effectively without needing to reach the bloodstream.
Are CBD bath bombs safe?
There are no known side effects to using CBD topically, however, some bath bombs may contain ingredients that can cause skin irritation and rashes if used too often.
How often should I use a CBD bath bomb to protect my skin?
The frequency with which you can safely soak in a CBD bath depends on a variety of factors, including whether you have particularly sensitive skin, as well as the ingredients in the bath bomb you’re using. A safe bet, in the beginning, is to use a CBD bath bomb once a week until you get a better feel for how your skin reacts.
