In The Mood Bath Soak
Create a sensual escape with In The Mood Bath Soak. This luxurious blend combines mineral-rich Himalayan coarse salt and Epsom salt with skin-softening jojoba oil and sunflower oil, while rose clay helps detoxify and nourish. Baking soda and citric acid create a gentle fizz, and SLSA adds just the right amount of bubbles to elevate your soak. The romantic scent of rose and bright grapefruit is grounded by earthy vetiver, and real rose buds and petals add a beautiful finishing touch.

SLS vs. SLSA
- Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) is an inexpensive surfactant used to create big bubbles. Because SLS has a small molecular size, it penetrates the skin easily and can strip moisture and nutrients from the skin, leaving it dry or irritated . It is widely used in mass‑market shampoos, soaps and detergents because it is cheap, but its degreasing action makes it harsh for leave‑on bath products .
- Sodium lauryl sulfoacetate (SLSA), sometimes called Lathanol, is a different ingredient. It is derived from coconut and palm oils and has a much larger molecular size, so it sits on the skin’s surface rather than penetrating it . This mild, plant‑derived surfactant creates a rich, foamy lather while being gentle and non‑irritating . SLSA is hydrophilic, meaning it dissolves easily and rinses away cleanly without leaving the skin feeling dry.
