The Cold Water Soother Bath Bomb is a brand-new product from the 2024 World Bath Bomb Day collection and is the first ever Lush bath bomb specifically designed to be used in cool water.
The Cold Water Soother looks just like previous Epsom salt bath bombs such as the Deep Sleep Magnesium bath bomb and Salt Water Soother bath bomb.
Epsom salt is very popular to use in hot baths to help with muscle pain, even though I don’t exercise as much as I’d like due to illness, I do get a lot of muscle pain. I have never however used a product with Epsom salt in, in a cold bath before. In fact, I’ve never had a cold bath before!
While the Cold Water Soother bath bomb was designed to be used in a cold bath, I compromised and used it in a lukewarm bath instead…
I was told it’s fine to use this product in a hot bath too if that’s what I really wanted to do, but I decided to meet Lush halfway opting for a lukewarm bath for the purpose of this review. With the weather being so hot in the UK right now there was no better time for me to give Cold Water Soother a try.
The Cold Water Soother bath bomb is cube shaped, one half of it is an orangey-yellow and the other half is white.
Each Cold Water Soother bath bomb is approximately 160g so a little lighter than the Epsom salt bath bombs that I mentioned above. To look at they however look the same size.
The Cold Water Soother bath bomb contains Epsom salts, fine sea salt, cedar leaf oil, cypress oil, eucalyptus oil, dark Sumatran patchouli oil and geosmin; Geosmin being the star of the show…
Geosmin is the compound responsible for the sweet, earthy smell of falling rain. It is believed to have positive effects on your mood which in turn promotes calmness and relaxation.
Cold Water Soother’s scent is incredibly unique, it smells just like soil after it has rained, with notes of enlivening eucalyptus too.
If you shut your eyes, it’s easy to imagine that you’re not in the bath and are in fact, taking a dip in a freshwater lake in a lush green forest.
As soon as the Cold Water Soother touches your bath water you are greeted with a loud hiss. The orangey-yellow part of the bath bomb spills out orange, slowly changing the colour of your bath water.
After just a few seconds the bath bomb sinks to the bottom of your bath. When bath bombs sink like this, I like to let the bubbles tickle my back. There’s something so relaxing about it!
Like the other Epsom bath bombs, the Cold Water Soother is a very quick dissolver and doesn’t create any bath art.
The best part about Cold Water Soother is its scent, I really hope this isn’t the last that we see of this fragrance, I’d love to try it in different product formats, a shower gel or perfume would be incredible.
After just four minutes, all that is left of the Cold Water Soother are the chunks of salt at the bottom of the bath, I suspect the chunks of salt would dissolve quicker if the bath water was at a higher temperature.
The Cold Water Soothers scent engulfs your bathroom from the moment the bath bomb touches your bath water.
The smell of freshly fallen rain is just as relaxing as any lavender based scent. With the Cold Water Soother in town, who needs lavender and chamomile based bath bombs to wind down?
My skin lapped up the rich with magnesium’s Cold Water Soothers water. Tense muscles quickly relax, and my skin is still super soft 24 hours after using it. The scent lasted on my skin for a good eight hours too.
Overall, I loved everything about the Cold Water Soother bath bomb and I’m glad I tried it in a lukewarm bath instead of my usual red hot.
Its scent is the perfect escape of the stresses of everyday life. A soak in a Cold Water Soother bath left my mind feeling lighter and calmer.
After one of the most stressful weeks of my life due to my cat being poorly, I couldn’t have used the Cold Water Soother at a better time.
