Lavender is a classic scent that conjures feelings of serenity and images of purple-hued fields dancing in the breeze. Created with Lavendula officinalis and Mentha spicata, drop one of these luscious bath bombs into your tub to create a blissful and serene bath experience. Enhanced with dual earth elements, Bentonite and Rhassoul clays give these bath bombs their subtle ombré effect, while giving the fizzy a firmer texture, and replenishing depleted minerals in your skin leading to a more even toned complexion. Finally to smooth out the formula, we have added melted shea butter to give your bath water, and your whole body, extra moisturizing properties.
