The Penguin Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2023 Christmas line.
With the Penguin bath bomb, Lush have designed one of their cutest, bath-bomb-characters to date. It’s a mostly violet coloured penguin, with a snow-white face, belly, and strikingly orange beak. The Penguin bath bombs look is all finished off with its adorable hot pink bow tie.
Weighing in at approximately 175g each the Penguin bath bomb is quite big, it’s one of Lush’s bigger more flatter bath bombs and is almost as big as my (little bit smaller than average) hand.
The Penguin bath bomb contains bergamot oil, Sicilian lemon oil, orange flower absolute and Sicilian red mandarin oil.
It shares its scent with Lush’s incredibly popular, The Olive Branch shower gel. If you’ve been a Lush customer for quite some time, you’ll most likely recognise its scent from the, The Christmas Penguin bubble bar from past Christmas lines too.
The ‘Olive Branch’ scent family is a much-loved Lush fragrance that I’m always happy to see make an appearance in any product format.
The Olive Branch scent is best described as a delicate citrus fragrance. It is perfect for anyone who is wary of the stronger fragrances Lush are often associated with.
As soon as the Penguin bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with a gentle stream of violet bubbles.
The Penguin bath bomb is not fantastic bath-art-wise BUT does create a few colourful groups of bubbles as it dissolves. Once the water takes over, the penguin’s beak and pink bow fizzle away too.
The Penguin bath bomb takes approximately 5 minutes to fully dissolve and turns your bath water a milky violet colour.
I found the waters left behind by the Penguin bath bomb silky smooth and incredibly refreshing. It’s gentle ‘Olive Branch’ scent can also still be detected on your skin long after getting out of the bath.
My skin still felt soft and hydrated for the whole of the next day after using it too, it’s an incredibly hydrating bath bomb.
I really enjoyed using the Penguin bath bomb, I’d have maybe liked a bit more bath art out of it but other than that I think it’s a fantastic addition to not only the Christmas line but also the Olive Branch Lush-scent-family.
