Fizzing Butter Melts

For a while now, Stourbridge customers have been enjoying our lovely petal covered fizzing bath melts as stand alone products. By popular request, we've now added these to The Natural Soapworks website, so our internet customers can also enjoy these gorgeous bath treats! They are individually wrapped in cellophane bags, making them perfect as small gifts or as an affordable alternative to our usual bath bombs.

Unlike many other bath melts we've seen, ours do not contain any synthetics or detergents, so they are completely natural with only essential oil blended fragrances and no artificial colours. They are quite tricky to make since they have to be hand rolled in petals, and we've also designed some lovely new fragrances including Uplift, Exotic Flowers and Ylang Geranium. You'll find that our Fizzing Bath Melts gently melt and fizz in hot water and release lots of petals and botanicals into the bath water, for really luxurious bathing!

They contain lots of organic (Soil Association accredited) shea and cocoa butters, so bath melt fans have been telling us they are so moisturising that body lotion is no longer required and they're also suiting dry or troubled skin conditions. We'd suggest that you just pat your skin dry after leaving the bath, to allow the natural butters and essential oils to sink into the skin. We're so pleased customers are enjoying using these so much!

Bath Bomb Workshop - Sunday 27th September 2009!

Have you ever wondered how bath bombs are made? By popular request, we'll be running another bath bomb workshop on Sunday 27th September. This is the last chance this year, to have fun making lots of fizzy bath treats using natural ingredients and essential oils.

The workshop will include a session on creating bath bomb recipes, including how you add in additional luxury ingredients like botanical oils and butters. We also include a session on blending essential oils for use in the bath, so you use the right concentration to fragrance your new creations!

The session will start at 10am, and lasts until lunchtime. The cost is £25, and this includes all the materials and use of equipment etc. You'll get to keep all of the bath bombs you create, and these will be available to collect a few days after your course. We can also post out the bath bombs, if people live further away (but there's a separate postage charge for this).

This course is limited to 8 attendees, so book early to avoid disappointment. Lots of fun and laughs guaranteed!!

Introducing...Natroma Bathing!

We're delighted to introduce a new range to Natroma, with the addition of our new bathing collection! With Natroma Bathing we've splurged on the most luxurious natural skincare ingredients to create a really indulgent range of goat's milk soaps and bathing products.

The goat's milk soap contains a decadent blend of organic botanical oils and Fair Trade butters, enriched with real goat's milk. We've then added the gorgeously scented Monoi de Tahiti, to create a top of the range soap with a lather that feels even more moisturising and creamy. We've co-ordinated these soaps to our Natroma skincare fragrances, so we've been able to use many of the very expensive essential oils that you do not usually see in handmade soaps. The initial fragrance choice is Chamomile, Rose and Orange Blossom. Each bar is handwrapped in a pure muslin cloth and decorated with a stylish organza ribbon, and we'd suggest that these natural wrappings are re-cycled as facial cloths so there's no waste. More of these luxurious soaps will follow during 2009, so watch this space!

We're also very pleased to introduce our Fizzing Bath Melt range. These are lovely little bathing beauties which really do look good enough to eat! We wouldn't recommend it though, since our new cup-cake range is designed to gently fizz in the bath and release lots of Fair Trade Cocoa and Shea butters into the bath water. They feature some lovely new blends of essential oils, and are naturally coloured with petals and other natural ingredients. Available on their own, or in a pretty ribbon decorated ballotin box, these are already proving to be very popular with our Studio customers. More fragrances will be released during the year, since these make lovely small gifts and are sure to be popular at Christmas.
