I've made different soap/lotion/bath salts/fizzies for years. I used to sell at yearly craft sales, but now I make them mostly for friends and family. Fizzies can be a pain to make if you mold them. Mixing baking soda with citric acid and a little fragrance oil or essential oil isn't hard. If you want to mold it, you repeatedly spray it lightly with witch hazel while quickly whisking with a wire whisk ... just until it is damp enough to press into a mold. That's the tricky part, spray too much, and it fizzes on you. That batch would only be good for a bath "salt" now.
If I'm making bath salt, I go for epsom salt and baking soda. If I want it to fizz, I can add citric acid to the mix and not mold it. I omit the sea salt because it can take a while to dissolve, making the bathtub bottom feel gritty/grainy. Like stepping in sugar.
