Frequently Asked Questions

I’m new to natural bath products-what are the benefits?

Natural bath and spa products offer the ultimate in luxury—products you’d happily give your grandma or your child.

Without hormone-disrupting and potentially cancer-causing parabens, phthalates, or synthetic colours and fragrances, our products are scented and coloured lovingly by Mother Nature.

When you use Bloomin’ Bliss products, you can rest assured that you’re soaking in something good, rather than something that disrupts your body’s natural balance.

We are on a mission to get as many people healthy as possible, and that starts with toxin-free spa and bath items in your home.

Explore our store to find alternatives to your current artificially fragranced or coloured products, and tell us when you feel the difference.

How do your bath bombs promote relaxation and sleep?
 

All Bloomin’ Bliss bath experiences include three essential components to help you de-stress and sleep better:

Concentrated Magnesium

  • When transdermally absorbed through the skin, magnesium lowers cortisol level, thus reducing stress and inducing sleep.
  • Magnesium also regulates neurotransmitters such as GABA, promoting deeper sleep.
  • Magnesium also acts as a muscle relaxant.

Aromatherapy

  • Essential oils such as lavender, chamomile, bergamot, frankincense, vetiver, ylang ylang, clary sage, and sandalwood oils are used in our formulations to help you de-stress and sleep tight.

Warm bath body regulation

  • Just taking a warm bath helps regulate your body’s core temperature, which is essential to deep sleep. 
  • When soaking in our luxurious baths, you are telling your body your are preparing for sleep, and when you exit the bath and cool off, melatonin is released, the hormone responsible for sleep regulation.

 

How often should I use bath bombs for optimal benefits?

For optimal benefits, it is recommended to use the bath bombs 1-3 times a week, and more often than that in the winter, due to dry skin concerns.

Our bath bombs include natural butters, such as shea and mango butter, that moisturize the skin while you are in the bath, as well as Alaskan kelp polysacharrides, shown by recent research to increase skin moisture levels by 80% when compared to placebo.

In addition, each bath bomb includes highly concentrated amounts of magnesium chloride, which, when added to your bath over time, may improve your sleep and decrease your daytime stress.

Try the bombs out for a month, and see what happens! If you’re not happy with the results, please contact us.

 

What is the shelf life of Bloomin' Bliss products?
We recommend you Bloomin’ Bliss products within a month of receiving them for optimal benefits. 
 
Unlike most bath and spa products on the market, we do not use any synthetic preservatives. To extend the shelf life of our products, we use naturally occurring vitamin E & rosemary extract.
 
We also do not wrap our individual bath bombs in plastic, nor do we use plastic packaging, because of the impact that would have on the environment. Instead, we have curated high-quality, small-batch, fresh products in minimalist, reusable or recycled packaging for you to enjoy as soon as possible without worrying about harming the planet.
 
How should I use the shower steamers for maximal benefits?
We encourage you to use the shower steamers when you need to elevate the moment– either because you are sad, tired, anxious, stressed, or happy. In short, we believe the shower steamers can be used every day. However, you may find the greatest benefits using the streamers as follows:
  • Lavender Dream– Use these steamers on anxious nights when you might struggle to sleep due to worry. 
  • Eucalyptus Mist- Use these steamers on mornings or nights when you’re struggling with congestion or stress. The eucalyptus and peppermint in these steamers will provide you with a nice boost after a long day. 
  • Citrus Zest- Use these steamers when you need an energy or mood boost. Research has supported not only the mood-boosting benefits, but also the potential for reducing your food intake if you are trying to lose weight.
Is it safe to use Bloomin' Bliss products during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Most of our products are completely safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
 
However, some products should be avoided because they contain clary sage, camphor, and rosemary:
 
  • Lavender haze (purple bath bomb) 
  • Cold Rx (shower steamer remedy)

During pregnancy, the smell of menthol in the shower steamers can be too much for some. Please check with your doctor before using any steamers if you are uncertain.

Can your remedies replace my doctor's medicine?

No. Please continue to consult and follow the advice of your doctor.

Our Cold Rx shower steamer nuggets are meant to support the holistic care of colds, congestion, and asthma, but never replace required medication.

Through the use of essential oils including eucalyptus and peppermint, and terpene isolates such as menthol and camphor, our Cold Rx nuggets help relieve congestion, acting as a natural alternative to Vaporub shower steamers, for example.
