Click on some of the most frequently asked questions below to see if we have your answer.
Are your products safe for sensitive skin?
All our products are made with natural ingredients that are good for people with sensitive skin. We use essential oils and phthalate-free fragrance to gently scent our products so they can be enjoyed by people with sensitive noses too. Rochel, the founder of Joyful Bath Co, has sensitive skin and is highly scent sensitive. We make sure our recipes meet her requirements. Many customers tell us our bath products are the only ones they can use.
What soaps are good for eczema and super dry skin?
All our soaps are made with olive oil which is highly effective in aiding many skin issues. They also include coconut oil which has many healing skin benefits. Our soaps don’t strip the skin of their natural oils nor do they leave behind a residue. Some of our customers’ favorites for helping with their eczema are Ginger Snap - Ginger helps reduce inflammation and redness. ‘Nilla Buttermilk -Buttermilk and whole milk gently exfoliate with lactate acid to get rid of dry skin. Oatsy Floatsie - Oats help with itchy, irritated skin.
What is a shower steamer and how do you use it?
A shower steamer is a great way to get an aromatherapy experience while taking a shower. Not only do you receive the benefit from the lovely scent that helps you either wake up or wind down, Joyful Bath Co.’s shower steamers are mentholated. That also means they can help you breathe!
Our shower steamers are not bath bombs and not made for soaking in the tub – the menthol makes you feel really cold! Unlike our bath bombs, they do not contain any oils or other skin or muscle soothing ingredients. And since no oils, your shower will not get slippery.
Just like we don’t recommend using our shower steamers in the tub, we don’t recommend using our bath bombs in the shower since they contain coconut oil that might make your shower slippery.
To use: Place the shower steamer on your shower floor away from the direct stream of water. You want your steamer to get wet to activate but don’t want it to melt away in one shower. You’ll know it’s working when feel the menthol vapor open up your breathing and the scent fills the air. After you’re done with your shower, you can either leave it on the shower floor for next time or pick it up and place in the corner or on shower shelf.
What is a bath bomb?
A bath bomb is a mixture of ingredients formed into a solid shape made for soaking in the tub. When placed in water, it fizzes and dissolves filling the water with soothing aromatic ingredients. The fizz is created by the reaction of citric acid and baking soda activated by water.
Our bath bombs are made with ingredients beneficial for skin, muscles and joints and include phthalate-free fragrance for aromatherapy. Bath bombs can be made into many shapes. Joyful Bath Co. bath bombs are made as spheres except for our Hemp Break-Aparts made to break into small cubes.
Many bath bombs are more for “show” turning the water into a colorful pool of glitter and flower petals. Unlike these bath bombs, Joyful Bath Co. bath bombs are clean and do not make a mess in the tub.
What’s the difference between bath salts and bath bombs?
Much about bath salts versus bath bombs is a personal preference. Some people think of bath salts as more therapeutic and bath bombs as more fun. In many cases that’s true, but Joyful Bath Co. believes in making our bath salts and bath bombs with healing ingredients.
Bath salts can be used for more than one bath while bath bombs are made for one bath. Joyful Bath Co. bath salts are made with mineral-rich salts and additional botanical ingredients. Our bath bombs are made with soothing coconut oil and Epsom salt.
Are your products safe for children?
Most of our products are safe for the whole family, but we recommend our Hemp Ultra Therapy products for family members 18 or over.
Some kid favorite bath bomb scents are Mixed Berry and Orange Chiffon Cake as well as Velvety Vanilla and Clementine Lavender. These are included in our Bath Bomb Bundle – Variety 1.
Kids also love our shower steamers in Green Apple, Lemon Verbena and Sweet Almond.
