7 Best Kids' Bath Bombs We're Obsessed With Right Now

Bath bombs for kids are little balls of happiness that turn tubs into fizzy wonderland! With so many options and ingredients available, it's easy to get overwhelmed. Family nurse practitioner and dermatology expert, Dr. Jodi LoGerfo, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC, helped us sort what to look for in the best kids' bath bombs.

What to look for in the best kids' bath bombs

According to Dr. LoGerfo bath bombs marketed for children are safe to use in most cases. However, when shopping for the best kids' bath bombs, she emphasizes the importance of paying special attention to the ingredients used. "Some ingredients can cause irritation, redness, inflammation and itching. Be careful about which bath bomb you choose," says Dr. LoGerfo.

Most rely on the fizzing power of gentle sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and are safe for kids, though. "Ingredients you may want to avoid include sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), artificial colors or dyes (red dye #4 and yellow dye #5, known allergens)." Some essential oils are also skin irritants.

Look for ingredients like vegetable pigment dyes, moisturizing coconut oil and gentle citric acid to be on the safe side. Remember, these tub accessories are meant for toddlers and big kids—they shouldn't be used in baby bathtubs with infants.
