Disclosure:
I received a complimentary packet of four bath soaks from Eco Hip Products. To
date, I have tried the Man Bath Muscle Soothing Salt Infusion. My opinion is my
own.
I was
delighted to receive a package in the mail containing one each of Harmony Bath
and Body Products’ four bath soaks for grownups. It all started when I took a
short seasonal job packing purchases from a major warehouse provider that
receives thousands of Internet orders year-round. Wow, did I ever ache. Even
worse, my feet were sweaty from all the walking I had to do. They stunk! Ugh!
I received
an email from Lorie Mancias, owner and president of Eco Hip Products, about the
newly introduced bath soaks under the Harmony Bath and Body Products brand.
When I told her about my tired, stinky feet, she told me she would send some
product for me to try. It was here in two days!
Each
packet is plastic with a zip seal and contains 16 ounces of product. You can
see what’s inside through the clear plastic on the front! I like that feature.
It seems more consumer friendly than staring into a dark bag trying to figure
out what’s inside.
It didn’t
take long to tear open the packet of Man Bath Muscle Soothing Salt Infusion.
The package directions suggested dissolving 1 to 2 handfuls of the product in a
tub of warm water and soaking from 20 to 30 minutes. I glanced over the
products while waiting for the tub to fill and the Man Bath to dissolve.
There are
two kinds of salts in Man Bath, 100 % pure natural Dead Sea Salt and fine Epsom
Salt. Sandalwood and bergamot fragrance produced a light musk scent that wafted
through the steam, helping me relax. Other ingredients are natural alkaline,
baking soda vitamin E, Aloe Vera leaf juice, and Eucalyptus essential oil.
I remember
my Grandma getting relief when her muscles hurt by soaking them in Epsom
Salt. Eucalyptus oil and Epsom Salt,
also known as magnesium sulfate, combine to soften skin and neutralize foot
odor. I swished the water around, stepped in, and relaxed for 25 minutes.
Was I
surprised at the results? Oh, yes indeed! The fragrance on my skin was quite
pleasant. Even better, I climbed up and down the two flights of stairs several
times that night and walked the 10 miles or so the job demanded. My legs didn’t
hurt! Not that night or in the early dawn as I went home or when I woke up from
my rest. Better yet, my feet didn’t have any foul odor when I took my shoes off
once I got home.
I have yet
to try the other three soaks: Relax and Soothe, Rejuvenating Antioxidant, and
Energize & Detox. Winter brings strenuous yard work as I trim fallen
branches and cut them into firewood for next season. I also have seasoned wood
to finish cutting so it can be used to heat my home. The time to open and
experience the relief of each packet is advancing quickly.
