The Dinosaur in a Crisis Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited-edition release that is a part of the small but exciting, 2024 Father’s Day line.
Dinosaur in a Crisis is a green, dinosaur shaped bath bomb with a sprinkle of golden coloured sea salt decorating its bottom.
This bath bomb is said to have a very similar back story to the Toby’s Magic Cow bath bomb, a young Lush fan wrote a letter to Lush about a dinosaur in a crisis (if we can have a crisis, so can a dinosaur) and with that the Dinosaur in a Crisis bath bomb was born!
What I really like about the Dinosaur in a Crisis bath bomb is that it’s a Father’s Day product that isn’t an in-your-face Father’s Day product.
The Dinosaur in a Crisis bath bomb contains course sea salt, lavender oil, litsea cubeba oil, rose absolute, lavender powder and rose petal powder.
Its scent is where this product gets really interesting… It’s actually two Lush scent families thrown into one; It’s a mixture of the scent of the Sleepy shower gel and the scent of the Rose Jam shower gel.
Before now and quite recently, I have disliked a bath bomb made up of two Lush scent families (the Two Families bath bomb) because I felt too overwhelmed, the Sleepy and Rose Jam scents of Dinosaur in a Crisis bath bomb however complement each other perfectly.
Lavender and rose scents are often associated with older generations of people, for example some say a ‘granny smell’ but the Dinosaur in a Crisis’ scent doesn’t smell old at all, in fact quite the opposite! It’s a really soothing blend of rose and lavender, that I can see all generations enjoying.
Each of the Dinosaur in a Crisis bath bombs are approximately 85g each fitting easily in my hand. Out of all the bath bombs available at the time of writing this review, Dinosaur in a Crisis happens to be one of Lush’s cheapest.
As soon as the Dinosaur in a Crisis bath bomb comes into contact with your bath water it begins to foam up. There is an explosion of green. The gentle scent of rose and lavender fills your bathroom as the Dinosaur in a Crisis fizzes away.
After a minute or so, the Dinosaur in a Crisis bath bomb sinks to the bottom of the bath. I know most customers prefer the bath bombs that stay afloat but the Dinosaur in a Crisis bath bomb doesn’t create any bath art so you’re not missing out on anything by it being a ‘sinker’.
When bath bombs like this do sink, I like to just lay back and let the little bubbles tickle my back; I find it incredibly relaxing.
The Dinosaur in a Crisis bath bomb is a very quick dissolver, it took just over four minutes to fully dissolve. The scent hangs around your bathroom long after you’ve pulled the plug and although subtle, it lasts on your skin for a good few hours too.
Overall, I really enjoyed using the Dinosaur in a Crisis bath bomb. I love its name and the story behind it, it’s a good price and smells great too.
I hope that Lush decide to bring the Dinosaur in a Crisis’ scent out as a perfume or body spray one day. A bold statement from me, considering I really disliked the last scent-family-mix they did.
There’s just something so relaxing about rose and lavender together, I just love the Dinosaur in a Crisis bath bomb!
