Description

A quieting of the nervous system.

A set of four hand-pressed bath bombs made with real lavender buds and lavender essential oil in a shea and cocoa butter base, colored a soft dusty violet with sweet potato powder. No synthetic dye, no artificial fragrance. Just bath bombs built the way a small apothecary would build them.

Lavender is the most trusted nervine in Western herbalism, and its linalool content is what gives the plant its ability to slow breath, drop shoulders, and settle the mind. Dropped into a warm bath, each bath bomb releases the buds directly into the water and the essential oil into the steam, so you meet the plant twice, once through the skin and once through the breath. The shea and cocoa butter melt into the water, softening skin as the fizz calms.

Four bath bombs is enough for a month of weekly evening baths, a stretched-out fortnight of daily rest, or a small gift shared between friends. Meant for the end of long days and the quiet transition into rest.

Ingredients
Baking soda, citric acid, powdered sugar, cornstarch, sunflower oil, shea butter, cocoa butter, lavender buds, sweet potato powder, lavender essential oil

Suggested use
Fill your bath with warm water. Drop one bath bomb in and let it fizz. Soak for 20 to 30 minutes, breathing slow. Some lavender buds will float; a fine strainer over the drain catches them at the end. Save the other three for later.

Notes
Store the set in a dry, airtight container to preserve the fizz. Bath bombs are moisture-sensitive and will soften if exposed to humidity.
