The scent is absolutely amazing. It’s a blend of Juniper (balances and restores), Orange (renews and rejuvenates), and menthol (comforts and relaxes). When I take the lid off, I immediately smell the scent of menthol, which clears my sinuses immediately. But I like it because it’s got a nice freshness from the juniper and the citrus.
I also like that this is a pretty natural product. Village Naturals states that this product is 99.51% naturally derived. It contains Sea Salt, Epsom Salt, Corn Starch, Vitamins A, B2, C, and E, as well as a variety of natural extracts in addition to the ones mentioned above.
The instructions call to use roughly 1/3 cup under running water. I just eyeball it and shake in what looks to be the right amount. Based on how much I used, I could probably get about 6-7 uses from this 20-ounce bottle. The crystals immediately disintegrate and the fresh invigorating scent fills my bathroom. No foam or bubbles are produced, but I did check their website and they have a foaming bath oil product in the same scent. The crystals also do not change the color of the water.
Although I normally prefer foaming bath products, I immediately fell in love with Stress and Tension Mineral Bath Soak. It leaves the water nice and soft, and my skin feels so much better afterwards. I would definitely say that it’s less drying than a foaming product. The scent does last quite a while, too, although that’s not as much a priority for me. I use this on nights that I just want a quick 10-minute bath (save the bubble products for long soaks) to warm me up before bed and relax me. It definitely is a soothing scent that helps relieves stress. It reminds me a lot of scents used in spas, so it does feel high end and luxurious.
Overall, a very good bath product. It’s a little bit boring in that it doesn’t change the color of the water, fizz, or product bubbles, but the scent makes up for these deficiencies. 4 stars.
