The Organic Bath Co. ~ Pomegranate Fig (No. 10) Bubble Bath Petals
Wednesday, February 15th, 2006Oh golly, this fun little item is a conundrum to review. Let’s start with the bad, and then we’ll go to the good so you can understand why I’d probably buy this again.
The bad:
- I see nothing in the ingredient list that would make this “organic.” Or for that matter, there’s nothing ALL natural about it. Proof positive you must look beyond a label with anything bearing the highly nebulous term “organic.” I don’t feel like typing out the ingredient list, but if you’re curious, it appears drugstore.com has them listed on their site.
- The plastic packaging is a bit too easily prone to cracking, unfortunately.
- “Pomegranate Fig,” my ass. It smells mostly of tea, with just a touch of fruity sweetness.
The good:
- I LIKE the tea smell, even though I was expecting “Pomegranate Fig.”
- This produced a really excellent amount of bubbles, and they were surprisingly long-lasting ones. So many bubble baths dissolve before I’m done with the bath, but these bubbles linger ’til I’m ready to get out. AWESOME.
- A 3 ounce package goes a lot further than it sounds like it would, and it’s not terribly expensive (under ten dollars.) It’s an affordable treat in my opinion
- The method of bubble delivery, the petals, is beautiful and fun. Seriously, don’t these flowers look pretty to you??
So despite my misgivings about the wholly ridiculous use of the word organic, I gave into the sheer prettiness, and despite finding the scent not as advertised, I would still totally pick these up again. Although, I’m thinking what I might do is try one of their tea scents instead, seeing as I may as well have this time around.
As you may have guessed these are available through drugstore.com, but I also found the line at my Fred Meyer store, which a Kroger-owned subsidary, so you should probably be able to find it at any old drugstore or grocery.
