Sea salt added to your bath water has so many amazing therapeutic benefits.   Minerals such as magnesium, zinc, potassium and others are nature’s cure for a wide range of skin problems.  Sea salt can even be drawn into the bloodstream to eliminate toxins and balance the entire body.

Milk baths are soothing for dry, itchy skin, and are beneficial for a number of skin conditions including eczema and psoriasis.

SLSa (sodium lauryl sulfoacetate) is a natural surfactant (creates bubbles & foam) that is derived from coconut & palm oil and is completely free of sulfates. We especially like it because it's natural, gentle, and the bubbles last a long time.

Cocamidopropyl betaine is a mild, hydrating, and a super gentle surfactant (creates bubbles & foam), naturally derived from coco-mehyl esters.  It has flash foam capabilities, and bubbles up quickly.  We use this as a secondary surfactant.

We use natural, unrefined cocoa butter in all of our bath bombs and many other products.  Cocoa butter is an amazing moisturizer and packed with antioxidants.  Along with its sweet scent, cocoa butter has the ability to form a protective barrier over skin to hold in moisture.  It's also packed with antioxidants that can help your skin maintain a youthful glow. 

We think it's extremely important to use UNREFINED butters.  Unrefined means that it hasn't gone through any chemical processes that remove all the beneficial properties and hasn't been bleached.

We use natural, unrefined shea butter in all of our bath bombs and many other products.  Extracted from the nuts of the shea tree, shea butter is an all-natural moisturizer that restores the barrier between your skin and the outside environment, holding moisture in and reducing your risk of dryness.

Polysorbate 80 is a water-soluble emulsifier and helps oil and color mix into the water rather than pooling on top.  It also prevents oils from clinging to the tub, which is really important because oil on the bottom of the tub can make it slippery.

Polysorbate 80 is a synthetic ingredient, but the small amount we use in our recipe is so important to include. Without it you will have a slippery tub and colorant sticking to your tub.

We use skin safe fragrance oils at a safe usage rate.  We only use high quality fragrance oils that are FDA approved, skin safe, & phthalate free

Kaolin clay acts as a hardening agent for bath bombs, but more importantly it removes impurities and soothes the skin.

FD&C stands for The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.  All dye batches made for FD&C use have to be tested to meet the minimum purity standards. If a batch passes that test, then it becomes certified and sold as an FD&C grade dye. After it’s certified, the dye has to follow the guidelines created by the FDA.  We make sure to use FDA approved and certified dyes and lakes from trusted suppliers.

Soaking in beautifully colored water has a positive psychological effect.

We mainly use mica to airbrush color onto the top of our bath bombs.  Mica is a natural mineral dust coated with pigments and has a shimmer effect.
