There’s a certain kind of “clean” smell that takes us right back to childhood—lemony fresh floors, laundry still warm, a candle flickering next to the tub. But here’s the twist, mama: that “fresh” scent may not be as comforting as it seems.

Synthetic fragrance is the sleeper villain in modern self-care. It’s vague, it’s everywhere, and it’s allowed to hide hundreds of chemical ingredients under one word: fragrance.

What Is Synthetic Fragrance?

Synthetic fragrances are man-made scent compounds—usually derived from petrochemicals—that are used in everything from perfumes and lotions to floor cleaner and baby wipes. Unlike natural essential oils, synthetic fragrances are engineered in labs and are often cheaper, stronger, and more stable.

But here’s the kicker: the FDA doesn’t require brands to disclose what’s in their fragrance blend. So that one word—fragrance—can actually mean hundreds of different chemicals.

Why “Fragrance” on a Label Should Raise an Eyebrow

When you see “fragrance” or “parfum” on an ingredient list, that’s your cue to pause. It might smell good, but is it doing good?

Not always.

Health Impacts Linked to Synthetic Fragrances

1. Respiratory Irritants

A study by the Asthma Society of Canada found that 25% of asthmatics report fragrance sensitivity. And it’s not just people with asthma—19% of the general population also reports some sort of reaction, from sneezing to full-on headaches.

2. Hormone Disruptors

Phthalates—a common component in synthetic fragrance blends—are linked to hormonal disruption, fertility issues, and developmental problems in children.

3. Environmental Impact

Over 95% of synthetic fragrance ingredients come from petrochemicals. These not only pollute our indoor air but can leach into waterways, harming marine life and biodiversity.

What “Fragrance-Free” Really Means (and Why It Matters)

Here’s the trick: “Unscented” isn’t the same as “fragrance-free.” “Unscented” products may still contain masking fragrances to cover up the smell of other ingredients. “Fragrance-free” means no added scent, period. That’s what you want.

At Mom Bomb, we’ve committed to never using artificial fragrance or dyes. Because a product that’s meant to soothe you shouldn’t also be messing with your hormones or irritating your lungs.

How Mom Bomb Is Different

When you take a bath with Mom Bomb, it’s not just safe for your skin. It’s safe for your soul—and your family’s air quality.

Safer Self-Care: Tips for Making the Switch

• Look for “fragrance-free” on labels, not “unscented”
• Avoid products with phthalates, parfum, or mystery blends
• Choose essential-oil-based scents when you do want fragrance
• Ventilate your space when using anything scented
• When in doubt: less is more

Our bath bombs aren’t just pretty—they’re purpose-built for people who want more from their soak. Here’s what sets us apart:

1. Dual‑Use Design 💧

Use it in the bath for a luxurious soak or toss it in the shower for an invigorating aromatherapy boost, whichever works for you!

Plant-based oils like almond and jojoba for antioxidant-rich hydration. Only natural colorants and organic essential oils because your skin deserves transparency.

3. Powerfully Effective Benefits

We formulated these to do more than fizz. The aromatherapy‑level essential oils help calm, uplift, or energize. Magnesium-rich salts soothe sore muscles and support relaxation. Natural moisturizers leave your skin soft, not slimy.

To sum it up: Clean, clever, and hand crafted for busy multi-taskers, Mom Bomb is a next-level wellness experience for your body, mind, and space.

In a world that won’t stop spinning, sometimes all you need is a scent to catch your breath. At Mom Bomb, our bath and body products are more than just self-care—they’re scent-driven lifelines crafted to help you reset emotionally, energetically, and physically. Let’s dive into the benefits of each fragrance in our signature collection:

Eucalyptus Rose
Eucalyptus clears the sinuses and the soul—it’s long been used to open the lungs and awaken energy. Paired with rose, the universal heart opener, this combo promotes emotional release and grounding. Ideal for: when you’re overwhelmed, anxious, or need to feel held.

Lavender Honey
Lavender is the OG chill pill, known to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and ease tension. The honey brings in sweetness—both literally and emotionally. This is the scent for bedtime baths, stress recovery, or the mama who’s been touched out all day.

Coconut Lime
Coconut nurtures. Lime energizes. Together, they’re like a tropical retreat in your tub. Perfect for postpartum tiredness, creative burnout, or when you just need to feel alive again.

Pink Himalayan Melon
Himalayan salt detoxifies while boosting circulation. Melon soothes emotional heat (anger, frustration) and supports hydration. This scent is especially healing when you’re emotionally spent or running on fumes.

Every scent in our collection was designed to care for your whole self—body, mind, and spirit. Because when you feel better, you do better. And when you do better, the whole family thrives.

Intro:
You don’t need a 5-star resort—you need 5 quiet minutes and a bath that loves you back. Introducing Soak & Steam Magic: a two-step ritual of renewal from Mom Bomb. Crafted with clean ingredients and powered by purpose, this simple practice softens skin, soothes stress, and changes lives.

Main Body:

• Step One: The Soak
  Drop into magnesium-rich Epsom salt infused with pure essential oils. Whether it’s Coconut Lime or Lavender Honey, each scent is a sensory sigh of relief. The salt eases sore muscles, encourages deeper sleep, and gives you permission to just be.

• Step Two: The Steam
  Can’t do a full soak? No problem. Our bath bombs double as shower steamers, releasing natural aromatherapy magic into the air—eucalyptus, rose, citrus, or mint. It’s like a mini spa session that clears your head and your energy.

And here’s the real magic: 100% of profits support moms in crisis. When you soak, you soothe another mother’s storm. That’s not just skincare—it’s soulcare.

Let’s talk about bubbles.

Specifically, what’s behind them?

At Mom Bomb, every fizzy soak or steamy shower helps fund something deeper. We give 100% of our profits to help moms in crisis through Mom Bomb Lifeline Grants - grants that offer direct assistance to mothers facing a sudden crisis. Emergency childcare, medical bills, rent—no questions asked. 

Real moms. Real needs. No red tape.

Like Jasmine, a recent grant recipient who needed help after a medical emergency. Because people who cared bought a bath bomb or a bag of our Epsom salt soak, we were able to give her one less thing to worry about.

And we want to do that again. And again. And again...

If you believe self-care and community care can coexist, Mom Bomb is your brand.
