Bath bombs turn a plain bath into a fizzy, colorful, and scented soak. They’re popular for gifts, self-care, and spa brands.
Lots of Chinese factories make bath bombs but most only sell bulk or under their own brand. The good news? You can get bath bombs with your own label if you know how to ask.
Why bath bombs are a good choice
-
Fast-growing gift item: Popular on Amazon, Etsy, and in boutique shops.
-
High margin: Low production cost, strong resale value.
-
Custom options: Shapes, scents, colors, even flower petals inside.
-
Repeat purchase potential: People use them up quickly and buy again.
Can I white-label bath bombs in China?
Yes. In fact, bath bombs are one of the easiest products to private label because factories already make them in bulk. They just swap packaging and scent blends for you.
You’ll mostly deal with OEM (they have the formula, you brand it). ODM (new formula) is possible but slower and more expensive.
Step-by-step plan
1. Find the right factories
Search for “bath bomb OEM China.” Focus on factories that mention:
-
GMP or ISO certificates
-
Cosmetic-grade ingredients
-
Export experience (to US/EU)
2. Decide your product specs
Before you write any factory, decide:
-
Shape/size: Standard round (2.5–3 inches) or special shapes (hearts, stars).
-
Scents: Lavender, rose, eucalyptus, or custom blends.
-
Add-ons: Dried flowers, glitter, colored swirls.
-
Skin feel: With or without oils (shea butter, coconut oil).
-
Packaging: Shrink-wrap, paper wrap, or box set.
3. Ask for samples
Order a small set (6–12 bombs). Test for:
-
Fizzy strength (does it dissolve well?)
-
Scent lasting time
-
Color (does it stain the tub?)
-
Skin feel (drying or softening?)
4. Fix your label
For cosmetics, keep your label clean:
-
Ingredients (INCI names if possible)
-
Net weight
-
Usage instructions (“Drop into warm bath water…”)
-
Best-by date (usually 1–2 years)
5. Place a pilot order
Start with the lowest MOQ. Use simple packaging first. Once sales pick up, invest in gift boxes or custom molds.
6. Do a quality check
Ask an inspector to check:
-
Weight and size
-
Even scent across the batch
-
Packaging consistency
-
Moisture protection (important in humid climates)
7. Ship and sell
Decide if you want sets (gift packs of 6–12) or single packs. Sets usually sell better online.
Numbers to know
-
MOQ: 1,000–3,000 bath bombs (some do lower for samples).
-
Unit cost: $0.15–$0.50 per bomb, depending on size and extras.
-
Gift set cost: $2.00–$5.00 for a 6-pack.
-
Lead time: 20–30 days after design approval.
Common mistakes
-
Asking for glitter without checking if it’s skin-safe.
-
Forgetting about tub staining from strong colors.
-
Skipping moisture-proof packaging (bath bombs crumble if damp).
-
Ordering fancy gift boxes too early — they raise MOQs and cost.
Example factories (for research only)
-
Guangzhou factories: Many specialize in OEM bath bombs with natural oils.
-
Yiwu clusters: Known for colorful gift-pack sets at low cost.
-
