Good to know
Does this contain any allergens or ingredients I should know about?
SLSA (Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate) has a much larger molecular structure than similar-sounding sulfates, so it can't penetrate the skin barrier easily — it's considered a milder, safer choice for sensitive skin, babies and facial cleansers. Almond oil is used as a gentle carrier oil, the same way it's used throughout skincare — if you have a tree nut allergy, it's worth checking the ingredients or asking us before use.
Is this safe for children or to use during pregnancy?
Yes, this is safe for children to use. If you're pregnant, we'd recommend talking to your doctor before use, just to be safe.
How long can I keep this product before using it?
Every Mallow product is handmade fresh to order rather than mass-produced ahead of time, so there's no printed use-by date on the label. We'd recommend using a bath bomb within 3 months of opening, and storing it in a cool place away from direct sunlight and heat, the same way you would any skincare product.
Will this stain my bathtub?
It depends on the colour bath bomb you use — some of our brighter shades can leave a temporary tint on certain tub surfaces. If that happens, a gentle scrub with a cleaner like Gif or The Pink Stuff will take it right off.
What's the difference between a bath bomb, a bath soak, and whipped soap?
Bath bombs, bath soaks and whipped soap are different products with different jobs. A bath bomb is a solid, fizzy blend of bicarbonate soda and citric acid that dissolves quickly, releasing colour, fragrance and oils into the water purely for a fun, relaxing soak — it doesn't clean your skin. A bath soak is mineral-based (like Epsom salt) and dissolves slowly to help ease sore muscles and tension, without fizzing or changing the water's colour. Whipped soap is an actual cleanser — a light, whipped lather you massage onto your skin in the shower or bath to clean and moisturise, then rinse off.
Can I use this in a spa bath or jacuzzi?
Yes — since it fully dissolves in water, there's no reason it wouldn't suit a spa bath or jacuzzi the same way it works in a regular tub.
