Foaming bath - sensual bath by Intimate Organics - review by Alicia

Sometimes we just need to pamper ourselves. Life is stressful and often speeds by at a rate we can't keep up with. We don't always take the time for ourselves that we need, and deserve. As a mom there are a lot of times (ok every damn day) where my own relaxation has to take a back seat for my children's needs. When that happens it's time to reach for some Intimate Organics foaming bath.

You have three options for scents when choosing one of these foaming baths. There is sensual cocoa bean and goji berry, relaxing lemongrass and coconut, and energizing orange and ginger. Of the three I have yet to try the energizing, but I can say that I love the other two just about equally. The cocoa bean one smells like chocolate raspberries and it is a very sensual scent, although it's also just an overall happy feel good scent, but that could just be because I love chocolate. The lemongrass and coconut one smells more like lemon than coconut, and is a nice and light scent, it makes the perfect relaxation bath. In other Intimate Organic products this scent can sometimes smell a lot more like coconut than lemon, but that was definitely not the case with this one. I'm sure I'll be picking up the orange and ginger one too, and I'll be sure to include info on that one in my follow up.

I feel comfortable using Intimate Organics foaming bath because it's DEA free, paraben free, made with certified organic ingredients, and is a pure vegan product. Here is a full list of the ingredients. This one is from the Sensual bottle, but all of them have primarily the same ingredients.

Aqua, Sodium Laureth Sulphate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Cocamide DEA, Parfum, PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Sodium Chloride, DMDM Hydantoin, Benzophenone 4, Citric Acid, Disodium EDTA, Water (and) Alcohol (and) Certified Organic Lycium Barbarum (Goji Berry) Fruit Extract (and) Certified Organic Cymbopogon Schoenanthus (Lemon Grass) Leaf/Stem Extract (and) Certified Organic Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe) Leaf Extract.

It's the parfum that gives each scent it's distinction. They all contain goji berry and lemon grass, which are great for your skin. They also all contain aloe leaf extract, another moisturizing ingredient. Now, here is the only thing I find could be a con. It does contain a form of glycerin, the Glyceryl Cocoate. I have not had any kind of reaction to this glycerin though and it is something that I cannot tolerate in lubricants and some cleansers. But, it must either be an extremely low concentration, or perhaps the type of glycerin that allows me to use this with no ill effects.

The bottle also allows me to feel comfortable leaving it out in the bathroom. There is a naked torso on the bottle, but the breasts and lower region have been cropped out of the photo. It's still a sensual looking bottle, but only if that's the intent you want it to have. For example, my kids just see it as a person getting clean in the shower, something we all do.

The foaming bath fills the bath with an abundance of thick and luxurious bubbles, perfect for long relaxing soaks. I do use quite a bit to get the amount of bubbles that I like, but probably not anymore than I have ever used with any other bubble bath. The bubbles themselves are thick enough that you can hold them in your hands and they will not instantly dissolve like some bubble baths have a tendency to do. I actually tend to cover myself in a blanket of bubbles since my bath tub is a bit too shallow for my liking and I can't have all of my body under water. Oh if I could, that would be bliss. But, since these bubbles are so soft and thick they do make a wonderful "bubble blanket" which keeps me warm while I soak. The bubbles also get pretty high, they form beautiful mountains of bubbles.

Of course all good things must come to an end and eventually the bubbles do begin to dissipate, but it's after a good long while and they go away slowly. Usually by the time I am done with my half hour bath there are still some bubbles left, just not nearly the number I start with. If you're taking a full bath and not just a relaxing soak and use other soaps or shampoo and conditioner the bubbles do go away pretty quickly. This is normal with bubble bath, and so if you're going to also be washing your hair I recommend waiting until the end of the bath. I have never felt the need to wash with another soap when using the foaming bath because it has ingredients to clean your skin already in it.

If you have a larger tub I would imagine that this makes for a wonderful sensual experience with a partner. Sadly my tub is just not built for that. This foaming bath really makes me want to go out and buy a bigger bath tub just for this though! I just feel so relaxed after soaking in the wonderfully aromatic bubbles. The foaming bath also leaves my skin feeling so clean and soft and I don't need to use any moisturizer after I get out of the tub. With some other bubble baths I have found that I actually experience a drying effect from them, mainly I think from being in a hot bath for that long. But with Intimate Organics the moisturizing properties of the Foaming Bath counteract the fact that I stay in long enough to turn me into a raisin.

I'm not the only one in my house who enjoys Intimate Organics Foaming Bath! My two sons like to play in the bath tub, it's one of their favorite past times! When I told them that I had chocolate scented bubble bath they couldn't wait to try it out. They loved the smell (even my youngest who hates chocolate) and loved how the bubbles got so high and lasted so long. They were able to make bubble beards and bubble mohawks and said that "this is the best bubble bath EVER!!!" and "I want to use this bubble bath every day!" They're fans if you couldn't tell!

Who would have thought, this stuff has beat out even the bubble baths that come in the character bottles as far as my kids are concerned, and I have to agree! My favorite is the relaxing lemongrass and coconut scent, while the kids prefer the cocoa bean and goji berry one. I guess that works out; I leave one bottle in each bathroom! While I still wish that I had a bigger bath so that I could share a nice relaxing bubble bath with my husband, this is still a nice way to relax and let the stress of the day float away. Sometimes taking time to pamper yourself and getting in a little me time is the best thing you can do for your sex life! Being relaxed and less stressed out lets me leave the crazed, overworked, exhausted mom version of me behind and lets the woman that my husband fell in love with come out to play!
