Natural Bath Bombs, Holy Moly
These New Zealand made natural bath bombs will make the perfect stocking filler for teens and adults alike. The fun bath bombs come with a bold coloured stripe that is colour coded to match their natural aromas – grape, strawberry and watermelon.
The bath bombs smell amazing and provide a bit of fun as you watch them fizz around the bathtub whilst dissolving.
And, it’s not just about having a bath with a dissolved fizzie in it! These bath bombs contain Epsom salts which are therapeutic as they provide essential magnesium to the body which helps reduce muscle cramps and promotes sleep and reduces stress. They also only contain natural fragrant oils so you don’t have to worry about inhaling synthetic compounds.
Each colourful pack contains two 40g bath bombs – enough for two baths – and is made of paper and stitched together with cotton. They are bright and colourful and everyone will be intrigued as to what they are.
These bath bombs would make gorgeous stocking fillers and at RRP $9.50, are definitely affordable.
The Holy Moly skincare range is available at holymolyskincare.com and at selected retailers.
