NEW Products Pink Grapefruit and Lemongrass Soap Plus Cupcake Bombs

We have launched new products on the site. Cute cupcake bath bombs with real soap frosting. They look so real and smell so good, you may be tempted to eat them...but, please don't...they will not taste good.
We have also added two new soaps. These are so moisturizing and smell super good too! Lemongrass and Pink Grapefruit...MMM...smells so good!




WHY USE CUPCAKE BOMBS?


Cupcake bath bombs are so cute and smell delicious…they look and smell like the real thing. The good news is that you can “indulge” in these without worrying about putting on weight. Just drop em in the tub and watch the bomb disperse its skin enriching oils. This isn’t your typical bath bomb, the frosting topping is actually soap. Once the bath bomb has released its special goodies into the water, collect the frosting top and use as an all over body cleanser.

NURTURING INGREDIENTS: Cupcake bath bombs are enriched with a 6 oil blend of Sesame, Rice Bran, Apricot Kernel, Sweet Almond, Jojoba, and Grapeseed Oil. Your skin is in for a real treat. Frosting topping is made with Vegetable Glycerin, which is a natural humectant, which means that it retains moisture in the skin. This important factor helps skin maintain its softness and elasticity. Sprinkles topping is made using Jojoba Beads. These little sprinkles help exfoliate dead skin cells.

INDULGENCE: Just drop your cupcake bomb in the tub and watch the bomb disperse its skin enriching oils. Once the bomb is gone, use the soap “frosting” topping to cleanse your skin. Yes, the frosting is actually soap.
5 different dessert scents to choose from and all with creamy Buttercream soap “frosting” topping and Jojoba Bead colored sprinkles. 3 oz weight each.

Our wicks are also natural cotton and contain no harmful lead. These zinc and lead-free wicks are much healthier to use because they don’t produce harmful black smoke. Using soy wax and natural cotton wicks also contribute to our American farmers. ONLY $13.99
