I first came across Verdant Alchemy as a brand when it came to the Drift Off Mineral Bath Salts which I reviewed here. Located in South East London, Verdant Alchemy was established in 2018 to provide a natural and non-toxic alternative to mass-marketed bath and skincare. Verdant Alchemy believes in harnessing mother nature most effective ingredients. Creating chemical and toxin free vegan products which are completely natural. They are committed to providing you with healthy and safe products that are sustainably packaged. They also encourage re-usability of all of the packaging.
New to my bathroom has been the Breathe In Bath and Shower Oil and if you are a follower of my Instagram, you will know that Sunday for me is all about me time and relaxation, so I can usually be found in a bath full of amazing products that helps me to wind down and get ready for the week ahead.
Take a deep breath, focus on slowing down. It’s time for some me-time, so fire up those candles, run the bath and unwind. This potent and luxurious bath oil with eucalyptus, lemon & thyme essential oils will soothe airways and unclog congested minds. Ideal for when you are feeling under the weather.
As the name suggests this product can be used in both the bath or the shower and depending on your mood. With the bath, all you need is one capful of the oil dropped into running water and at this stage, the ingredients work their way into the water vapour and the smell is just incredible. To use in the shower, you simply shower normally and then add a few drops into the palm of your hands, take a mindful breath and inhale the wonderful scent before applying the oil to your neck and arms. Those ingredients have all been chosen to ensure you slow down and they include:
- Apricot Kernal Oil - A nutrient-rich lightweight oil that will leave your skin moisturised and hydrated. Brimming full of Vitamin K, Vitamin E and Omega 6 fatty acids, the oil will nourish and soothe skin.
- Eucalyptus - An anti-inflammatory and decongestant oil that is cooling and refreshing. It helps relieve stress and muscle ache whilst soothing the respiratory system.
- Lemon - A citrus scent and natural energiser, it’s incredibly cleansing and helps improve mood.
- Thyme - An immune-boosting oil that has a green herbal note that lifts energy and relieves stress.
- Bergamot - A grounding citrus scent that creates feelings of relaxation and calm, helping relax mind and body.
Putting all of these together, what you get is an oil that works wonders to decongest, especially if you are full of cold and generally feeling really run down, the Eucalyptus working wonders alongside the citrus scents of Lemon and Bergamot and they come together to lift your spirits.
For me, this Breathe In Bath and Shower Oil has been a much-welcomed addition to the bathroom and at £32 for 140ml it is worth every single penny.
