New! Overindulgence Scrub

Overindulgence Body Scrub

Our NEW! Overindulgence Scrub is fortified with botanical oils and skin softening shea butter; combined with the exfoliating action of dead sea salt and mineral-rich sea clay. We've added detoxifying burdock root and dandelion root powders to help tame problem skin!

This refining scrub has been emulsified for ease of use and to prevent leakage when packaging or shipping. Scented with a cleansing blend of essential oils, including Grapefruit, Juniper, Cypress and Black Pepper. The perfect treatment to counteract those little over-indulgences, whatever the time of year! Additionally, all of our scrubs are preserved with a paraben-free preservation system.

Notice: Formulation Change!

Organic Matcha Green Tea

Effective immediately, we have reformulated our Lemongrass Tea Sugar Scrub and our Green Tea Bath Soak. We have ceased using Organic Genmaicha Green Tea Powder in these formulations and have replaced it with pure, Organic Matcha Green Tea.  These changes are due in part to customer request and a supply chain issue making it difficult for us to obtain enough Organic Genmaicha Green Tea. We think you will be very pleased with the change as well as the luxury status that your products can achieve by switching to the highly regarded Matcha Green Tea variety.

All other ingredients in these formulations remain exactly the same. The only change is the variety of tea used. Please direct any questions or concerns to: allison (at) bathbodysupply (dot) com

Recipe: Ombré Liquid Soap

Copyright (c) Smell No Evil, Ltd.

Ombré: shaded or graduated in tone: said of a color

You Will Need:

18 oz Shower Gel
5 ml ( 1 tsp) Fragrance (optional)


Add 12 oz Shower Gel and 1 oz Liquid Pearlizer to a glass pyrex container and mix thoroughly to combine. Add optional fragrance, we used Cinnamon & Clove Fragrance Oil, and stir well to incorporate. Pour pearlized soap into your bottle.

In a separate pyrex container, combine the remainder of your shower gel and colorant. To create a festive red, we combined equal parts FD&C Red #40 and D&C Red #33. We used approximately 8 drops of the red combination for this project. Slowly pour red shower gel into the bottle of pearlized shower gel. Apply closure and allow to sit overnight. 

Note: Over time, the red shower gel will slowly sink through the pearlized shower gel to create an ombré effect of concentrated color at the top that gradually becomes lighter at the bottom of the bottle.

Recipe: Santa & Elf Bath Salt

Copyright (c) Smell No Evil, Ltd.


You Will Need:



Other Tools:

Ribbon
Glue Gun or Glue Dots
Zip Close Baggies
Funnel

Begin by decorating your bottles. We glued pom pom ribbon to the top and bottom lip of the first bottle and green velvet ribbon to the other.

To make "red" Santa salt, combine 9.5 oz dendritic salt and 5 ml Plum Tarte Fragrance (or fragrance of your choice) in a zip close bag. Squeeze out most of the air, zip closed and knead salt and fragrance oil to incorporate. To make "red" color, we combined equal parts FD&C Red #40 and D&C Red #33, then added it to the scented salt. We used approximately 15 drops of the "red" dye mixture. Keep in mind that using too much dye may stain both your tub and skin. Use a funnel to transfer your "red" salt to the bottle before applying cap to seal.

To make "green" Elf salt, combine 9.5 oz dendritic salt and 5 ml Christmas Ale Fragrance (or fragrance of your choice) in a zip close bag. Squeeze out most of the air, zip closed and knead salt and fragrance oil to incorporate. To make "green" color, we combined equal parts FD&C Blue #1 and FD&C Yellow #5, then added it to the scented salt. We used approximately 20 drops of the "green" dye mixture. Keep in mind that using too much dye may stain both your tub and skin. Use a funnel to transfer your "red" salt to the bottle before applying cap to seal.
