Da Bomb Quote Bomb adds inspiring messages to basil bath fizzers

Da Bomb’s Quote Bomb takes one of the category’s most familiar forms and gives it a second job: it has to fizz, and it has to reveal. Each fresh basil bath bomb hides wise quotes on tiny enclosed messages as it dissolves, turning a routine soak into a small moment of anticipation. The jar holds 8 mixed bombs, and Da Bomb recommends using 1 to 3 bombs per bath, a simple setup that makes the product feel easy to give, easy to split up, and easy to keep on a bathroom shelf as a repeatable treat.

The design choice matters because bath bombs already sell on sensation. Quote Bomb leans harder into the emotional side of the ritual, where the reveal becomes part of the pleasure. Instead of relying only on scent, color, and fizz, it adds a message that can be read, saved, or shared after the water drains. That makes the product feel less like a disposable bath enhancer and more like a miniature experience, something closer to a keepsake than a one-night indulgence. The fresh basil scent helps set that identity apart from the sweeter or fruitier profiles that dominate many gift sets, giving the jar a cleaner, more unexpected personality.

Da Bomb also keeps the formula deliberately short. The brand says its bath fizzers use baking soda, citric acid, fragrance, a food-grade humectant, and cosmetic-grade pigment. It says the bombs are handmade in the USA, not tested on animals, and made without animal byproducts. The line is also gluten-free, nut-free, phthalate-free, paraben-free, and SLS-free, which places the product squarely in the cleaner, more transparent corner of personal care without turning the messaging into a lecture. For a gifting item, that kind of ingredient clarity lowers friction. It lets the surprise feel playful instead of risky.

That approach fits the company’s own origin story. Da Bomb was created by Isabel and Caroline Bercaw, a pair of teenage sisterpreneurs who started making bath bombs in their basement after a $25 batch of ingredients in summer 2011. Early sales at an art fair reportedly included about 150 bath bombs sold out on the first day and roughly $350 in profit. The business later grew to major retail distribution, with reporting in 2017 putting it at about 500,000 bath bombs a month, more than 15,000 stores nationwide, and over $10 million in revenue. Quote Bomb shows how a brand built on novelty can keep evolving: not just more scent, more color, but more meaning inside the fizz.
