PlantLife: Rejuvenate Mineral Bath


Jean sent me a generous box of bath and soap goodies recently and this container of mineral bath caught my attention at once. This product from PlantLife Natural Body Care retails for $19.70 and is good for 8 to 16 uses. When I opened the lid, my face was blown back by an icy blast of Arctic proportions. It was love at first inhale. There are some hefty doses of  peppermint essential oil but I am not sure what other EO's may be present since the ingredients list is rather vague. I would hazard a menthol guess but who knows. Instructions recommend 1-5 cap-fulls under running water so I used 3 and it was STRONG. Next time I will 2 in the interest of conservation. While my bath water was pretty hot, my skin felt cool and invigorated. The water became ultra moisturizing and my skin was coated with olive oil and vitamin E. I shaved and did not need to apply lotion afterwards, which is virtually unheard of for me. 


After I toweled off I was freezing! I hurridley donned my longest, wamrest pj's and snuggled under the covers in a state of bliss. Jean mentioned this being too cool for her in the winter and I can see why. I warmed up quickly but it was only about 70 degrees here when I used it. This particular mineral bath would be excellent for hot summer days post work out or beach day. Just don't use it after your watch duty on The Wall. You might lose vital body parts due to frost bite.

  1. LOL! To borrow from the '90s it's a freshmaker.

  2. Fantastic! I can imagine the scent from here. I bet it would be great if your feeling a bit congested too.
    When I don't throw in a Lush bomb, my standard bath is on of Epsom salts and a few drops of my favorite EOs. It always amazes me how many scoops of salt is recommended.

    Very sweet of Jean! <3

    1. Excellent idea! Congestion buster for sure. I have yet to venture into EO's on my own but I am getting mighty curious. Making my own bath salts is high on my To-Do list. Thank you for the suggestion!

      It was tremendously sweet. <3
