Secrets of the Sun Bath Streusel

Rich Indonesian patchouli, musky honey, wild honeysuckle, gardenia, sun-warmed skin

This is my love song to Kamasi Washington, Sun Ra, the heat of summer, & the best of our years in Chicago: lakeside jazz festivals, a cool glass of tej on a Friday night, the late July sun slanting low & golden over the city, bare feet on hot pavement, apartment windows flung open to let in the hush of traffic & communal sounds of the neighborhood & the scent of hidden gardens, bright African wax print cotton, the unmistakable warmth of Miles Davis on vinyl, evening walks along the lakeshore parks full of families & dogs & music & the crack of cricket bats to catch one last breeze before bedtime... Secrets of the Sun is the smell of sun-kissed skin, honey wine, incense, a snow white flower tucked into jet black curls. It's cosmic jazz turned up to eleven, good friends, flowing skirts, dancing on the roof, watching the sun set & the stars come out...

Soundtrack your summer here: Kamasi Washington, The Epic

Bath Streusel is a moist, crumbly treat for your tub!

Bath lovers, rejoice! At last, a product packed with skin-loving butters plus all the fizz & bubble of your favorite bath bombs & bubble bars! Bath Streusel is a delightful mashup of bath melt, bubble bar & bath bomb, in your favorite Paintbox scents. Add a handful to the tub as you run a nice hot bath & watch the bubbles grow! Once in the tub, you'll get the benefit of water-softening baking soda & citric acid, plus silky arrowroot powder & a gentle surfactant. I add a ton of organic cocoa butter & mango butter & a drizzle of rice bran oil to pamper your skin, leaving you feeling undeniably soft & smelling fantastic!

Many bubble baths & bars use harsh surfactants to make big bubbles - great for washing dishes, not so great for your delicate skin. I use sodium lauryl sulfoacetate, a very mild, gentle surfactant that gives great bubbles without wreaking havoc on your skin.

This listing is for one 6.6-ounce jar of Bath Streusel, enough for 3-4 baths. It's blended by hand in small batches with no SLS/SLES, parabens, propylene glycol, -cones, animal products, coconut oil or shea butter (for my sensitive customers). Most of my fragrances are phthalate-free, too!

I pack Bath Streusel in a recyclable plastic jar, with all ingredients clearly labeled for your peace of mind:

Baking Soda, Citric Acid, Arrowroot Powder, Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate, Organic Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Butter, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil, Fragrance Oil, Mica, Sugar-Based Decos, Biodegradable Cosmetic Grade Glitter

Since I work in small batches, you may notice slight variations in color from jar to jar.

To prolong the life of your Bath Streusel, keep it tightly sealed & avoid introducing any water to the jar. A clean plastic spoon is ideal for scooping out just the right amount :)

Please use Bath Streusel within 3 months of opening, & discontinue use if irritation occurs. The butters & oils in Bath Streusel will leave your tub a bit slippery, so do be careful :)
