Product Review: Thornefolk Solutions fizzing bath skull

Thornefolk Solutions is the Connecticut women’s collective we profiled a little while ago as an Oddity of the Week, who sell bath and body goods handmade in small batches. It’s not tested on animals, use the most eco-friendly packaging possible, right down to the cellophane derived from plant materials, and offer refill credits. All this, along with incredibly cute pagan and gothic packaging and low pricing, definitely makes this a place worth visiting.

Happy with their review, the Thornefolks sent us a Cucumber Fizzing Bath Skull of our very own, which of course we had to try out and review. Over 3.5 oz, and made from Mexican Day of the Dead molds, the Fizzing Skull contains sodium bicarbonate, citric acid, fine sea salts, hempseed oil, essential and fragrance oils, and mica.

So, how are they in the tub? Pretty fizzy! We dropped it into a hot bath – which regrettably doesn’t happen as much as the Chateau would like it to, these days – and immediately it started madly bubbling, releasing a scent of sweetened cucumber into the air. (If you have kids, they’ll LOVE these!) It lasted for a good five minutes, and smelled great. It costs a whole three dollars, and they also do fizzing flowers and bath teas as well.
