Butterbear – Lush Bath Bomb Review

Transferred from Twice the Mum when closed.

Over on my personal blog, Journeys are my Diary, I’ve been blogging a lot about my recent Lush Haul (purchased on our weekend away to Edinburgh).

I’ve covered So White, Hot Toddy, The Sparkler and today I want to talk about Butterbear. The main reason I’ve decided to place this review here, is because I definitely think its something very child orientated and that our lovely readers over here might like to know about it!

When we first picked up Butterbear in Lush, Megan misread the sign and thought it said Butterbeer. This is of course a Harry Potter reference and then made the bear, a must buy! A part of me did wonder if there was a connection, but I don’t think there is. That said, he’s a very cute little bear!

Lush describe the product as:

Cocoa butter creates a creamy soft bath that is great for nourishing and protecting your skin, with the same vanilla-like fragrance as Butterball bath bomb. Moulded into a friendly and sweet-smelling bear, this is sure to be a winner with little and big kids alike!

My little bear got a bit dirty! By dirty, I mean my “Sparkler” bath bomb disintegrated all over him – that’s the yellow bits. Otherwise, you can see this little chappy is a white/cream colour with flecks of brown.

When we first placed him in the water, he acted exactly like a regular bath bomb – fizzing and bubbling away. However as he started to dissolve, you could see bits of brown and I began to worry that it was one of the few Lush products that leave bits in your bath (I’m not a fan of those!).

However I shouldn’t have worried as given a little time, that dissolved too, leaving a very clear bath. You could see the oil in the water from the cocoa butter and Lily who was having the bath, seemed very happy with the vanilla smell.

I would definitely recommend this bath bomb for kids as its kind and gentle on their skin, plus it smells good. That said, kids also love bubbles and if you’re looking for that then you’re not going to get any here! Perhaps throwing in a Lush bubble bar as well, might be a bit extravagant for the kids…
