No Secrets Bath Jelly

[unpaid/sample/ad] With a new bath product about as exciting as my evenings get at the moment, I was intrigued to try a bath jelly designed to be applied to the skin before you step into the tub. What a great idea.

No Secrets Bath Jelly

It’s an aromatherapy blend that uses bergamot, petitgrain, eucalyptus, juniper and lavender which amounts to a general ‘well-being’ aroma that’s an instant brain soothe. The idea of massaging product into skin before jumping into the water is new to me but I really did like it. I guess you’d say it feels more like a syrupy balm than a jelly so it smooths nicely onto skin. I was a bit quick I think with my ‘massage’ because I was in tester mode – next time I’ll take my time with it and appreciate the process a bit more.

As you can see (spoon is mine by the way) it’s not drippy and nor does it feel sticky or gloopy. When you get into the water, the jelly turns milky and just kind of melts into the water so you get the aroma all around you. My skin felt moisturised after I got out and while the fragrance isn’t strong, it left a trail into the evening. It comes in six small jars which I assume are ‘portion sizes’ although personally, I’d have liked it better in one big jar. The formula is vegan and the base comprises kukui seed oil, grape seed oil, sunflower seed oil and macadamia seed oil. It felt exactly like the treat it’s meant to be. You can find Bath Jelly HERE for £45.

    The new(ish) Soul Providers bath oil from Beauty Pie is used like this. I, too, had never heard the like but it’s a very nice way to get the full hit of aromatics before everything emulsifies in the bath, myself included… The Beauty Pie oil is very nice – of course – and very reasonably priced – of course. (Although it still doesn’t beat the Olverum, which is now hidden safely away from the rest of the family)

      Yes, hide that Olverum!

    Oh lord this sounds heavenly!
    You’d probably be a bit too young to recall a much-missed bath product I was crazy about around 1981. Thick, rich, honey scented gloop for pre-immersion application, just like these little pots. Turned the water milky, ditto. A large, wide jar, by some company beginning with P. Best stuff I ever used.
    I’ll be sure to chase up this product, thank you.

      Wow – I thought it was a new thing!

      Ohmigod – I could FEEL the texture of that stuff as you describe it! It was like a big old jar of lemon curd, if I’m thinking of the same thing. It might be Perlier Honey Miel?

        Lisey…yes!! Oh thanks for clearing up my bad memory. I kept getting stuck on ‘LaPerla’ instead.
        For some reason this stuff is all mixed up in vivid memories of a brilliant Vogue Health and Beauty supplement (those were the days) featuring a short haired, teenage Cindy Crawford engulfed in Perlier bubbles. That supplement was crammed with beauty advice that I swallowed whole, and it obviously stayed with me.
        Mmmm…..I recall buying actual honey instead, once the Perlier product finally disappeared from the Fenwick’s in Oxford where I’d buy it. Not the most delicious sensory experience!

        Jane….apologies for the nostalgia wallow.

        Cosmetics to Go and then later B Never Too Busy To Be Beautiful (both by the man behind Lush) had Turkish Delight that you massaged on before getting into the bath. Lovely rose and lemon scent first time around but didn’t seem that nice from BNever unfortunately.

  3. Dear Jane,
    Thank you so much for your simply lovely comments and stunning photos. I just wanted to share that, sadly it was technically not possible to offer this in a large pot. If you were to splash water in it, or dive in with your fingers (unlike your adorable spoon- so want one of those) … after a few days the jelly would slightly change colour and consistency, as it would have started to ‘melt’ in the pot.

    We therefore went for the little pots, with the aim that they are for one divine bathing experience at a time. I love that the little pots always keep the jelly pristine (I do so hate those sticky body oil & bath oil bottles that gather dust); they are also then perfect to pack – just one – for a weekend away, or to gift to someone special.

    I once bought back from Cuba a large bottle of delicious aged rum. I decanted it into a hip flask and kept it in my handbag, pouring out single shots to friends as a ‘holiday gift’, so to speak. I think these little pots are a bit like that 🙂 When you find something special, isn’t it lovely to share with your friends?

    We love to think that the best things come in small packages. 🙂

      Thanks so much for providing that insight – always interesting to know how it works at the formulation end. Funnily enough, I thought I would give a couple to friends (when the temperature is lower than boiling!) x

      1. Oh fabulous … I do hope they enjoy the Bath Jelly … agree in slightly cooler weather! x
