Bath Salts, Soaks, & Bath Bombs

How to use bath salts? Start by running a tub full of hot - but not scalding - water. Then, add a generous handful of bath salts, and swirl the water to help them dissolve. The last part is the best: get naked, and get in the tub!

Badger hack: No tub? No problem. You can use those bath salts as a hand or foot soak. Just grab a basin for your feet or your bathroom sink for your hands. You're welcome.

Add a scoop under the running tap so it blends in instead of clumping. As the water turns silky, you’ll notice it feels different — smoother, creamier, and straight-up indulgent. Milk baths gently exfoliate thanks to lactic acid and soften skin with fats and proteins, which is a fancy way of saying you’ll come out buttery soft. They’re safe for regular use, but don’t feel like you have to ration them — Cleopatra didn’t. Just remember to rinse the tub afterward so you’re not leaving behind a slip-and-slide for tomorrow’s shower.

Badger hack: Pro tip—keep a pitcher in your bathroom to rinse your tub after your milk bath. You'll thank us when it's all fresh and clean.

Fan favorite: Our Bitchberry Milk Bath has racked up the raves, plus it smells like rose and raspberries.

Can you use a bath bomb without a bath tub? Of course! Here are some badass ways to get your bomb on:

🦶 Fill a basin with hot water, toss in a bath bomb, and soak those tired dogs like the queen you are.

🚿 Drop a bomb on the shower floor and let the steam do its thing—or get fancy and hang it in a mesh bag over the shower head for a longer-lasting scent sesh.

♨ No time to soak? Drop a bath bomb in a bowl of hot water and just breathe, babe. Instant spa vibes.

🙌 Fill your sink with hot water, drop in a bomb, and soak your hardworking hands. Follow with your fave lotion and feel like a soft, glowing badass.

Who said you needed a tub to live your best bath bomb life?

Hell yes. They’re designed to play nice together. Salts bring minerals and tension relief, milk baths bring the silky hydration, and bombs bring fizz and fragrance. Think of it like layering cocktails: balanced and extra satisfying. Just don’t overdo it — too many products at once might be overwhelming for your skin (and your drain). One of each is usually the sweet spot if you want the full spa-like effect.

The sweet spot is usually 15–20 minutes. That’s long enough for minerals to absorb, muscles to relax, and skin to drink in the oils — but not so long that you end up wrinkly and dried out. You don’t need a timer, but if you’ve scrolled TikTok for half an hour, you’ve probably gone too far. Always listen to your skin: if it starts feeling tight or itchy, hop out. And hydrate with a glass of water afterward — hot baths are sneaky dehydrators.

Our formulas are designed to rinse clean — no neon rings, no glitter bomb aftermath. Natural colorants and botanicals might leave a little residue if you don’t swirl the water, but a quick rinse or wipe takes care of it. If your tub has a rough surface or hasn’t seen a sponge in a while, (ie 'tub ring') you may notice more cling - but we promise it's only coloring the soap scum, not your porcelain.

Badger hack: One of those magic eraser things will be your BFF in case you notice any residue.

Most people do just fine, but if you’re sensitive, patch-test first. Some essential oils or fragrances can be irritating for delicate skin types. Stick to gentler blends like milk baths or unscented salts if you’re prone to flare-ups. And if you’ve got open cuts, eczema, or psoriasis, check with a dermatologist before going all in.

Translation: these are treats, not medical treatments — and your skin will tell you what it likes.
