INITIAL BUBBLES
When it comes to the Polyjuice Cauldron Bath Bomb, I did not know what to expect from a bath bomb inside of a tiny cauldron. An immediate burst of colour, possibly? An explosion of colours or some sort of magical trick?
I did try a previous bath bomb from Truth Niagara: the Island Juice Bath Bomb and that one, albeit pretty, displayed a very slow delivery once introduced into the way. So all in all, I was just waiting to be taken on this experience and adventure of a bath bomb. After all, how many times can one say one shall experience something akin to the Harry Potter universe.
What is Truth Niagara? See my post on the Island Juice for a little more info! They do also support mental health and sport a very pretty mural in their warehouse, a must-see!
FUN FACT ABOUT CAULDRONS
According to the Merriam-Webster, the first recorded use of the word cauldron happened in the 14th century and meant “a large kettle or boiler”. The word itself comes from Old French “chaudron” which has a Latin root meaning hot, calidus.
Nowadays, people don’t think of cauldrons as cookware, but more so as associated with witchcraft.
THE BATH
When plopped into the water, this bath bomb floats. Very light green bubbles and white foam leisurely emerge from the cauldron and make their way into the bath.
The initial green of the cauldron contents eventually gave way to a bright red/orange mass at its heart, giving the water an orange-ish hue.
The actual dissolving process of the bath bomb was very slow. Not a bad thing in this case as I was able to enjoy it more, photograph it more and feel like a witch in action! No magic here though, even with an ingredient such as “witch hazel” in the mix, just plain old chemistry. I did end up removing the pieces in the cauldron and crushing them in the end, as several minutes had passed and I did not want my bath to get cold.
The Polyjuice Cauldron bath bomb has become my most hands-on tried bath bomb, in the sense that I was able to play around with it quite a bit as it was put in the water, in comparison to most others, where they simply dissolve and I can do nothing about it.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Scent: sweet (and definitely not like a real putrid Polyjuice potion);
Opacity: Very opaque, the bottom of the tub was completely visible;
Final colour: pastel orange;
Verdict: Loved playing around with the cauldron as well as the bath bomb within. It looked like a magical experience that thankfully didn’t smell like actual Polyjuice Potion. For 5$ when you buy several bath bombs, I would definitely give this one a try!
