Bath bombs are created with specific enhanced functions in mind
Trend - The act of using a bath bomb can be included within the realm of self-care in itself, but brands in this area are elevating their products even further by incorporating explicit mood and wellness-enhancing benefits into these products.
Insight - Though the wellness industry has always been product-focused, it has emphasized this in recent years as consumers increasingly place an importance on the experience and ritual of a product. Essentially, product benefit is no longer simply based in its actual results or effectiveness. As self-care practices become more ensconced in daily routine for consumers, they expect enhanced experiences with still-promised benefits
