The Inner Dragon Bath Bomb is a product specifically made for the Lunar New Year celebrations. It was released at the start of 2024, ready and waiting for the start of the year of the dragon!
In years previous to 2024, Lush have created other Lunar new year products such as the Lucky Tiger bath bomb, Dragon Legend reusable bubble bar and Gold Rabbit bath bomb.
All of them were favourites of mine when they were released, so I was incredibly excited to see that Lush had once again decided to celebrate the Lunar New Year with another year-of-the bath bomb.
The Inner Dragon bath bomb is just a little bit smaller than the standard sized bath bomb (such as Twilight) weighing in at 190g.
All of the Lunar New Year products have shared similar colours, consisting of oranges, reds and gold. Inner Dragon is however Lush’s most complicated Lunar new year bath bomb yet. It’s a standard shaped red bath bomb with a golden dragon wrapped around it.
Lush have released a similar bath bomb before with the Tengri bath bomb, Tengri also had a dragon wrapped around it. The Inner Dragon bath bomb however has a much more identifiable dragon and I suspect this will make it sell a lot better than Tengri did.
The Inner Dragon is so incredibly detailed that it makes it almost impossible to believe that Lush bath bombs are all hand pressed.
Since 3D printing technology has improved (making it possible for more complicated bath-bomb-mould designs) the details of Lush bath bombs keep getting better and better.
Inner Dragons scent is from Lush’s scent family, Big. It’s a popular Lush scent that I’m very happy to have in a more affordable bath bomb form.
The Inner Dragon bath bomb contains a long list of ingredients including the likes of: Sicilian red mandarin oil, vanilla absolute, orange flower absolute, ginger powder, and mandarin powder.
Its scent is hard to explain but to me it always reminds me of eating vanilla ice cream at the beach. It’s refreshing while also being warm and uplifting.
As soon as the Inner Dragon bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with a huge hiss and mounds of bright orange foam. The first time I used it I was so surprised at the amount of foam in such a short period of time that I almost dropped the bath bomb before I could take the below photo!
It doesn’t take long for red bubbles to appear from the bath bomb too, creating orange and red swirls decorated with golden lustre.
With the Inner Dragon bath bomb dissolving so quickly (just under 3 minutes) I didn’t manage to capture any bath art photos but the oranges and reds coming out of it (even though for a very short amount of time) were spectacular to watch.
The Water left behind by the Inner Dragon bath bomb is a blood-orange colour. With it being such a fast fizzer, it leaves you with plenty of time to sit back and relax in its skin-soothingly-perfect waters. I can still smell its gentle scent on my skin for the rest of the day. It also left my skin feeling soft and refreshed right into the next day too.
Overall, I really enjoyed using the Inner Dragon bath bomb, it’s a fantastic product inspired by a beautifully reflective and special time of year. I am looking forward to seeing what Lush come up with for Lunar new year, 2025!
Happy Lunar New Year everyone, may the year of the dragon treat you well!
