Bathbomb
A bath bomb is a compressed mixture of dry and wet ingredients that has been dried and shaped into various forms. It's an instruction that's usually employed for scented, pleasurable, and refreshing tubs.(1)
A bath bomb is a straightforward, delicate concoction of citric acid, sodium bicarbonate, and other lovely elements that can help transform your bath into an enjoyable, relaxing sanctuary.(2)
Sodium Bicarbonate (NaHCO3), is the basic ingredient in bath bombs and other products designed to produce fizz and foam. Usually, it is a granule or powder with white crystals. Other than
sodium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate is known by several
different names and is used in a variety of contexts. It's also known as baking soda, cooking soda, bread soda, and probably the most common place call.(1)
Arrowroot Powder serves as a thickening agent and absorbs excess moisture without causing the skin or pores to become dry. This ingredient may function as a dry "filler" mixed in with the acidic baking soda and baking soda. (1)
Epsom Saltis a chemical salt containing both magnesium and sulfate ions. Its use helps to change the body's magnesium levels, which is important for the production of serotonin, a hormone
that calms and promotes relaxation.(1)
H2O + C6H807 + NaHCO3 ? Na3C6H5O7+ H2O + CO2
Water + Citric acid + Baking soda? Sodium citrate + Water + Carbon dioxide
In the reaction described above, sodium bicarbonate and citric acid react with water to produce sodium salt, carbon dioxide, and water. The evolution of carbon dioxide causes bubbles to form in the water. Along with the bubbles, the fragrance contained in the components changes, and bureaucracy foam is created by the foaming agent of surfactant. Due to enough ilution in water, the irritation of the pores and skin is no longer caused by citric acid and sodium bicarbonate.(1)
Advantages Of Bath Bomb (3)
Easy to use – Bath bombs are straight forward to use; just drop one into your bath water and watch it fizz there is no need for measuring or mixing, making for a hassle- free, spa-like experience at home.

Evaluation Of Bath Bomb
Taking a specific amount of the bath bomb is positioned in a beaker containing 500 ml of distilled water at room temperature. Whenever a clean blend without effervescence is acquired, bubbling time has completed.
The average of 5 size of every formulations must be reported.
Apply the bath bomb paste sample at the wrist of the human volunteer. Mark the reason with black marker. Observe for at least 24 hours. Note incase any reaction occurred.
The clarity of all the three batches was determined by visual inspection.
The pH of bath bomb was determined by using digital pH meter. Take 1 gm of powder and dissolved in 10 ml of distilled water and take apart for two hours. Then the measurement of pH of formulation was done by dipping the glass electrode completely into the solution three times and the average values are reported.
Place the dissolution medium into the vessel free from dissolved air. Assemble the apparatus and warm the dissolution medium to 36.5oC to 37.5oC. place one dosage until in the apparatus. Allow the bath bomb to sink to the bottom of the vessel prior to the reaction. Operate the apparatus immediately at the speed of rotation specified.
Approximately 1 gm of bath bomb solution was taken and dissolved in distilled in water (about 50 ml) in a 100 ml graduated measuring cylinder to determine the bath bomb solution’s ability to produce foam. It was shaken for roughly 10 min in the measuring cylinder. After 10 min, the foam height was measured. The mean was calculated after recording the observations.
Prepare nutrient agar medium and sterilise by autoclave at 121oc for 15 min. prepare the agar plate and label with the name of microorganisms inoculated using sterile technique, inoculate agar plate with there respective test microorganisms by swap streak method or spread plate method. Allow all the culture plate to dry about 5 min. using the sensi disc dispenser. Apply the antibiotic discs by placing the dispenser over the agar surface. If dispenser are not available, distribute the individual discs at equal distance with sterile forceps. Gently press each discs down with the wooden end of a cotton swap or sterile forceps to ensure that the discs adhere to the surface of the agar. Incubate all plates in an inverted position at 37oC for 24 -48 hours.
Samples of bath bombs became stored beneath room temperature for 2 months and the modifications acquired if any are noted.

DISCUSSION
In the present work sodium bicarbonate, citric acid and arrowroot powder which gives antimicrobial and antibacterial activity. The formulation F2 and F3 showed the best result, may be because of constituents present in sodium bicarbonate, citric acid, arrowroot powder and Epsom salt. Arrowroot powder is known for its antibacterial properties that may aid in infections and small quantities of sodium bicarbonate have inhibitory effect on bacteria. Up to date, numerous product such as soaps, body washes, shower gels are available for showering and refreshing but bath bomb shows all the properties of above products. At present it emerge as very convenient product for cleaning and refreshing our body with some therapeutic uses. Once dissolved in water, bath bombs release citric acid which fizzes up and helps loosen damaged layers of skin. The oils in bath bombs also tend to be super moisturizing, and basking in a tub of hydrating oils will leave your skin feeling soft and supple. Now a days people use bath bomb because calming nerves and softening skin while entertaining bathers with fantastic fizz, soothing scents, and captivating colors. Another important issue that deserve, attention towards the safety of these bath bomb as there were no reported adverse effect. Based on the findings of the present study, the relevance of sodium bicarbonate, citric acid, Epsom salt and arrowroot powder are safe and effective for relaxing, soothing, smoothing and relieving activity is clearly reported. For our research study we have formulated five batches from which F1, F2, F3, poses good quality of ideal bath bomb which helps them to perform further studies. Formulation F4&F5 did not pass the common evaluation test such as odor and cracks. Later on, formulation F1, F2, F3 are kept under observation for time period of a week. Every day it was watched whether they were stable or not. Generally, cracks on bath bomb leads to the failure of the formulation. Cracks on F4 & F5 were noticed after overnight observation were bath bombs divided into two parts and the formulation F1, F2, F3 are found to be in proper condition after one week observation without any cracks.
Anyhow the evaluation testing for the formulation F4 & F5 is done on the cracked bath bombs. Although the major test which is anti-microbial activity fails to accept the formulation. Later on, we have discarded the batches F4 & F5 and for more studies we have taken our superior batches for further evaluation studies.
After the completion of one-week observation they were kept under observation for two months to evaluate their stability.
As we discussed in previous discussion about the different quality, activity and evaluation test of our prepared formulation. As such the same for the marketed formulation to obtained the proper comparative studies on both of them to check the activity of the formulated and marketed one.
The evaluation studied which was done on formulated preparation was same performed on the marketed formulation as well to check the effectiveness of both the products.
We will study whether the formulated product provide a proper activity or is there any advantage over the marketed product.
From the above cited study, it was found that the formulation F2 & F3 Were superior and F3 was found to be optimum batch
among of them the other formulations.
CONCLUSION
From the study it can be concluded that prepared bath bomb formulation F3 using sodium bicarbonate, citric acid, Epsom salt and arrowroot powder is suitable for the relaxing, soothing, smoothing and relieves effect and shows better anti-microbial activities.
From the comparative study, it is concluded that the formulated preparation shows better activities as compare to that of marketed product.
Hence , the formulated product reduces the side effect of bath bomb preparation and it does not show any harmful effect on our body.
