Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'bath' (a tub or act of immersing in water) with 'foam' (a mass of bubbles): it denotes foam used in a bath. This is a straightforward compositional noun–noun combination found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
The compound noun bath foam comes from a simple image: bath (the tub of water) and foam (the soft bubbles that sit on top). So it means 'a product you add to the bath to make bubbles, smell nice, and soften the water'.
