Citric Acid is the key “fizzing” ingredient in bath bombs. When combined with baking soda and water, it creates a carbonation reaction. It also acts as a natural pH balancer in hair rinses and lotions.

Q8. What is the best way to store the powder for long-term use?

To maintain its fine crystalline texture, store the powder in a cool, dry place inside an airtight container. When kept away from moisture, it has a shelf life of up to three years.
