365 by Whole Foods Market, Bath Soak Rose Petal With Himalayan Salt, 5 Count

My backup
If i don’t have my fav’s from etsy or am near a WFM, I pick up a bag of the rose bombs. for as small as they are compared to the single, larger ones, they do what I expect from a bath bomb: smell great, have natural ingredients (like rose petals), and moisturize as I soak. They also fizz nicely, an added loveliness.

A decent no-frills bath bomb
I used two for one bath, since the instructions recommend 1-2. It is mildly moisturizing, and the smell is faint and inoffensive. There are tiny pieces of rose petals that float along the bathwater as the bath bomb finishes fizzing–they are too small and too few to bring a sense of luxury, but they do make me think “natural,” which is probably what Whole Foods was going for.I find the rose petal pieces a little bit unsettling to look at because the darker smaller ones, when they stick to my skin, look just like a new mole or skin tag could be forming. It just makes me end up worrying about my skin, so I have to stop reading my book to investigate/remove it. If the petals were a little bit longer and twistier, they wouldn’t look like tiny pieces of skin condition. At this current size, they are drain-friendly, though.I wish there were visible chunks of cocoa butter or shea in the bath bomb that you could see melting as it dissolves. For some reason, that always gives me a sense of luxury and makes me happy. With these, you can tell that there are oils in the formula like the bag says, but they distribute evenly throughout the water without the bath-taker really noticing. I think I would need three or four of these to equal one normal bath bomb in terms of moisturization for me.The bath bombs are individually wrapped inside the bag, and my gel manicure did not thank me for forgetting to bring scissors into the bathroom. I don’t love this. I want the bath bomb to already be unwrapped once I take it out of the main package.All of that said, these are very affordable. Based on brand reputation, I can trust the ingredients. These are serving the purpose I wanted them to–namely, adding a modicum of luxury into my “normal” baths that I take in between the more “name brand” ones. This is slightly less moisturizing than dumping some olive oil into your bath, but when using these, it’s easier to clean the tub with no hassle. They are better for me than my sad, homemade bath experiments.For something you can throw in your cart with the rest of your grocery order, I would say that these do have value. They give you a realistic level of bang for your buck. I wish each one had more moisturizing qualities, and I wish each bath bomb in the bag was about 3 oz. If they could all be mini butterballs, that would be ideal.
