A More Holistic Botanical Approach For A Witch’s Cauldron Bath Bomb
The initial recipe includes a spell-binding fragrance oil, bright colors, and shining glitters. But that might not be everyone’s cup of tea- or in this case, potion. For those with a customer base that is more holistic and prefers more natural elements. Here are some swaps you can change for a more botanical approach.
- Swap out the fragrance oil for an essential oil. We carry 69 pure essential oils and blends to choose from. Some fall favorite essential blends are our Orange Cove Blend, Earthy Anise, Ritual Blend, and Mystical Spice Blend.
- Use dried botanicals instead of glitter. Sandwiching dried botanicals like lavender, calendula, jasmine, or rose petals between layers of fizzie makes a surprise payload for the tub.
- Use bath salts instead of fizzie powder. We have 8 different salt varieties ranging from Epsom to a Black Dead Sea Salts Blend. For a spooky twist on this recipe, try our Black Pacific Salts Blend.
Creative Packaging Ideas
The cauldron bath bombs will be single-use. So having good packaging will be important. Get creative with the font and text on the sticker. Here are some creative packaging ideas to make these bubbling delights special.
- Sticker with product information over the opening. There is plenty of room on a 2.5-inch label to list the name, ingredient list, and use instructions.
- Cloth covering secured with ribbon or yarn. This option brings a more chic approach to packaging. Use Halloween or rustic cloth to fit the cauldron theme better.
- Induction sealer with a label over the top. If you have an induction impulse sealer, you can use it to secure a tamper-proof seal over the top of the cauldron.
- If you spray alcohol into the mixture and pack it into the cauldron as you would a bath bomb. You could leave it open-air with a tag around the neck, with all the product information.
Closing thoughts
This witchy cauldron bath bomb recipe is a creative seasonal product that will leave your customers spellbound.
We love how quickly variations of this recipe can be prototyped and tested. It’s way faster than making a traditional bath bomb.
In our tests, we were able to dunk the cauldron 8-10 times before the fizzie powder ran out.
