I am a massive fan of bath salts! I’ve used them when when my skin has been been problematic with psoriasis. They’ve been helpful with itching and general discomfort of my skin. When my muscles have been sore after a work out or a very physical day at work, salts get thrown into my bath. But many a time I use them just to help me unwind. They give me a different bathing experience compared to the use of a bath bomb, bath cream or soak. So I was happy to find in my stash Peppermint Bath Salts by Druid And The Witch. When bought, this cost me £3.00 for 200g.
Why did I use this? I hurt myself during a workout! Feeling very sorry for myself and sore ( thank you pulled calf muscle! ). I really wanted something in my bath that wasn’t just bubbles and fragrance. I needed something that would help my mind and body relax, and I thought this would be ideal.
Packaging. The salts lived happily in a clear plastic packet, with the scent and ingredients listed on a label on the front.
Consistency & look. Firstly, these are not your typical white/clear crystal like bath salts. These are blue. Not just one shade of blue I could see at least 2. A light blue and then a slightly darker one. You can tell these are salts but you do have to look carefully, because they seem smaller than the usual ones you can normally purchase. For me, these look part bath dust part salts which is quite intriguing to see.
Scent. Definitely minty! Minty and incredibly fresh. Reminds me of the scent of certain sweets that are peppermint flavoured because this isn’t as harsh or eye watering as pure, true peppermint oil as an example ( although it does contain it ). It doesn’t smell as if it’s mixed with any other fragrance so true to scent.
In the bath. I poured all of this sachet under warm running water, and straight away it turned the water from clear to a gorgeous bluey green colour. Super pretty super inviting! A little foam was produced along with the colour but not loads, very minimal and disappeared soon after. I found the fragrance to be there straight away. And as I found it when I first smelt it in the packet, this fragrance didn’t smack me in the face strength wise. It was there but not overpowering. The bath time was relaxing and pleasant. It felt and seemed very much like a bath soak.
On the skin. No irritations and didn’t dry out my skin.
Something to add. When I ordered this through a rep, I can’t remember whether these were supposed to be foaming bath salts or not ( the label just says bath salts ).
Would I buy this again? Possibly. What I would like is try a different fragrance. For me, the current fragrances aren’t as varied as what I would like and would want something a little more unusual. But they are traditional and typical when it comes to aromatherapy inspired scents.
Recommended? Although this is a nice bath salt the majority of people would probably prefer to grab a scented one off a supermarket shelf. You would get more in weight for your money. Size wise, you could get between 500g and 1kg in a packet or tub, which would give between one and four baths at a push. Price and ingredients wise would vary of course, but scented bath salts can be bought for the same price as this but get more salt for your pound. So for the amount and price and if on a budget, shopping around to get a better deal would be a good idea.
If size doesn’t matter to you and you fancy this as a bath time buddy, you can order yours here ( listing states these are foaming salts ). Not loving peppermint? No problem! These salts are available in a variety of fragrances including Sweet Orange, Lavender and Geranium.
