A bit more about those ingredients
Cocoa butter is an active ingredient in many skin care products as it remains solid at room temperature but melts at higher temps. We use this as piping on top of some of our Bath Blasters and we also use it to make our Bath Melts, as it makes an excellent skin moisturiser!
It’s a great source of natural antioxidants that are found in cocoa beans, saturated fats are beneficial for healing dry skin because they’re easily absorbed and remain on the skin for hours.
We use Shea Butter in our products for its moisturising effects as it restores the barrier between your skin and the outside environment, locking in moisture and deeply nourishing your skin. With a significant levels of vitamins A and E, meaning it promotes strong antioxidant activity.
Vitamins A and E help maintain the skin and keep it clear and healthy. They help prevent premature wrinkles and lines. Vitamin F acts as a skin protector and rejuvenator.
Each product will provide you with a different level of fragrance, fizz and/or suds. We understand that not everyone finds enjoyment in soaking in a pile of bubbles. We also understand that not everyone likes fragrance. Therefore we offer a variety of options in different shapes sizes. We even offer products that fizz and bubble without any fragrance.
No, we are sorry, they won’t explode in your tub. But they do fizz and foam. Drop one of these bombs into a tub full of water and it will dissolve creating a foamy, frothy layer on top of the water. This layer will dissipate after the bath bomb is finished. All of our bath bombs include oils as well as the fizzy ingredients. We do this to elevate your bath time experience. Keep this in mind when you are getting out of the tub; oil and water tend to make for slick surfaces. To help reduce this we do use Polyprobate80; an emulsifier that makes water and oil play nicely together. Polyprobate80 also helps prevent any staining in the tub from any dye’s or mica powder we may use. A bath bomb will fill your bath time with delightful smells with the use of a combination of essential oils and fragrance oils.
Last but certainly not least is the shower melt. Unlike bath bombs and solid bubble bath, this should NOT go into your bathwater. This little guy packs a punch in terms of fantastic smells. To accomplish this we have to load them with a lot of essential oils or fragrance oils. In small amounts essential and fragrance oils are ok to come into contact with your skin. In large quantities they can cause you to have a reaction, which can vary depending on how sensitive your skin is. That is why these are intended only to be used in the shower. To use a shower melt, place it by the drain and turn on the shower. Try to keep the melt out of the direct stream of water. It will dissolve a lot quicker if the water is running directly on it. As you take your shower the melt will be activated by the water and start to fizz, releasing it’s fragrance and filling the entire space. Don’t worry about stepping on it; even though there are extra oils, you’re not soaking in them.
This is exactly what it sounds like, a solid form of bubble bath. We have it in different shapes and sizes, so you may see it referred to by different names. For example, we may call it a bubble ring if it was made in one of our ring forms. No matter what it’s called, it is sure to fill your tub with an abundance of bubbles. We recommend placing a chunk of the ring or bar in your bath under running water to get the most bubbles possible. If you place the chunk away from the steady stream of water you wont get as many bubbles. You can definitely use the entire product in the tub. You will get a bunch of bubbles! Some even like to add a bath bomb in with the solid bubble bath. It continues to agitate the water after you shut the water off; creating even more suds! It’s not necessary though, unless you want the fizz experience. Like our bath bombs we use oils to heighten the overall experience.
