Yes, all bath bombs have an expiration date. Bath bombs usually expires within one year varying upon their freshness. About after a six-month period, bath bombs may begin to lose its effervescence though they are still safe to use. Nevertheless, added ingredients like carrier oils, essential oils, fresh flower petals and/or oatmeal, may cause bath bombs to become rancid or moldy within one year or sooner. It is very important to know the date a bath bomb was made. Make sure you’re checking for the expiration date, and a list of ingredients used inside a bath bomb.

Bath Bombs are finest when stored in a dry and cool place at room temperature or above. A great option may include a cool garage, basement, or cabinet. Make sure they are properly wrapped in plastic placing them in a storage bag, tightly sealed box or jar. Why plastic you say? Plastic protects the effervescence from excess moisture. Instruction is the same as if in humid weather. However, during a purchase a bath bomb may already be in shrink wrap leaving your storage options easier.

When it comes to women’s health, anything put in her bath water can be a potential irritant to the vaginal area.

When a woman is menstruating, additions to a bath can increase the negative effects as well. Dependent upon her skin or vaginal sensitivities, the ingredients of a bath bomb can cause irritation. It is essential to her health to check for a listing of ingredients used in any bath additions

First, it’s great to keep in mind that not all bath bombs are made equally. Also, not everyone’s skin and sensitivities are the same. Please unwind and enjoy your bath; however, spending extended times in the bath longer than 20-30 minutes with fun bath additives, can risk potential irritation. Repeating your bath experience once or twice weekly shouldn’t pose a danger. We strongly recommend rinsing well in the shower, removing excess residue including petals, flower buds, oils, glitter, or strong scents. 

Fundamentally, to reap the full benefits, you should use one bomb per bath. However, there is no rule book saying you can’t break a bomb for multiple uses. Make sure you are properly storing the remaining pieces as described in question #2.
