Rose Petals

This is part of our Ingredient Glossary, where we explain what goes into our products and why. We do not sell raw ingredients.

Let's be honest: rose petals are partly here because they're gorgeous. Watching dried rose petals float in your bathwater does something for the soul that we're not going to pretend is purely scientific.

But they're not just decoration. Rose petals contain natural oils and gentle astringents that genuinely benefit skin. The tannins provide mild toning. The natural fragrance compounds, citronellol and geraniol, offer subtle antimicrobial properties. And the antioxidants help protect skin from environmental stress. They earn their place.

You'll find rose petals in our Herbal Lavender Tub Tea, where they add visual beauty and a soft floral undertone to the lavender-chamomile blend. They also appear in the Relax Tub Tea and Soft and Soothing Tub Tea, contributing their gentle magic to each blend.

For more intense rose experiences, our Romantic Rose Tub Truffle and Chocolate Velvet Rose Tub Cake deliver rose in a different format. Same flower, different mood.

Sometimes an ingredient works on multiple levels. Rose petals soothe your skin, scent your bath, and make the whole experience feel more intentional. That's worth including.

A warm, herbal soak you steep yourself.

You can see everything through the bag before you even open it. Lavender buds, chamomile flowers, spearmint leaves, rose petals. No mystery powders. No ingredients you'd have to look up. Just herbs.

We could have blended this into a powder and called it a day. Faster to make, easier to use. But there's something lost when you can't see what you're soaking in. So we kept it loose. You spoon the herbs into the muslin pouch yourself, pull the drawstring tight, and steep it in hot water like you're brewing a cup of tea for your whole body. The water turns slightly golden. Your bathroom starts to smell like a garden. And for the next thirty minutes or so, you're not rushing through anything.

"I wanted people to see the actual plants before they touched their skin. No mystery ingredients, no powders you have to trust blindly. Just a bag full of herbs you can identify with your own eyes. The steeping part isn't extra work. It's the whole experience."

Why You'll Love The Herbal Lavender Tub Tea

• You see exactly what's in it: Real lavender buds, chamomile, spearmint, and rose petals. No fillers, no mystery powders, no ingredients you'd need to Google.
• Epsom salt does the heavy lifting: A generous base of magnesium-rich Epsom salt helps ease sore muscles and reduce tension. Good after a long day. Better after a hard workout.
• Scented only with essential oils: Lavender and rose geranium. No synthetic fragrance.
• The pouch is reusable: The muslin steeping bag comes with your purchase. Rinse it, dry it, use it again.

How to Use It

Fill the muslin pouch with a few spoonfuls of the herbal blend. Heat about four cups of water on the stove until it's hot but not boiling. Drop the pouch in and let it steep for five to ten minutes. The water will turn golden and fragrant. Draw your bath, pour in the tea, and toss the pouch in with it. You can use the herb-filled bag as a gentle compress on sore spots or just let it float. Soak as long as you want. Rinse the pouch afterward and hang it to dry.

Key Ingredients

Epsom Salt

Magnesium sulfate in its purest form. Dissolves in warm water and absorbs through skin to help relax tight muscles and reduce swelling. The real workhorse of any therapeutic soak.

Lavender Buds & Chamomile Flowers

Two of the oldest calming botanicals, and for good reason. The lavender brings that unmistakable herbaceous floral scent. The chamomile softens the edges and adds gentle skin-soothing properties.

Spearmint Leaves & Rose Petals

Spearmint contributes a cool, clean note that keeps the blend from feeling too heavy. The rose petals are mostly there because they're beautiful, though they do offer mild skin benefits too.

Goes Well With

• Relaxing Lavender Candle: Light it before you start steeping. By the time you're in the tub, your whole bathroom smells like you planned this.
• Lavender Soap Bar: For when you actually need to wash. Same essential oil blend, same calm.
• Oatmeal, Milk & Honey Bath Soak: Different vibe, same commitment to real ingredients. This one's creamier, sweeter, and particularly good for dry or irritated skin.

INGREDIENTS

Epsom salt, lavender buds, chamomile flowers, spearmint leaves, rose petals, lavender essential oil, rose geranium essential oil.

Some nights you need a bath that asks a little more of you. The measuring, the steeping, the waiting. It turns out the extra steps are the whole point.

===FAQ=== Q: How many baths do I get from one bag? A: The 4.5 oz bag gives you roughly 4-6 baths, depending on how generous you are with each scoop. We'd rather you use enough to actually smell it than stretch it too thin. Q: Can I reuse the muslin pouch? A: Yes. Rinse it out after each use, squeeze out the excess water, and hang it to dry. It'll last through many, many baths. Q: Do I have to steep it on the stove first? A: You don't have to, but you should. Steeping in hot water releases more of the essential oils and botanicals than just dropping it in warm bathwater. The extra step takes five minutes and makes a real difference. ===TAGS=== Aromatherapy, Bath, Botanical, Chamomile, Epsom Salt, Essential Oils, Herbal Tub Teas, Lavender, Muscle Relief, Relaxation, Rose Petals, Spearmint ===VENDOR=== Em'z Blendz Soap Co. ``` --- ``` VOICE CHECK: - Opening pattern: Sensory invitation ("A warm, herbal soak you steep yourself") - Closing pattern: Reflection/philosophy ("The extra steps are the whole point") - Voice dial: 3-4 - Banned phrases: None - Suspicion words: None - Imperfections: "Just herbs."
