Ghoulish Bath Delights: Exorcise Your Dry Skin

by Corey Gray

Ghoulish Bath Delights is a little spooky online shop

that offers skin care and bath products made from natural

ingredients that will scare your problems away. The site is

run by an esthetician named Amanda who makes all of the

products by hand. She’s an avid horror junkie, so each

product is inspired by a different horror movie or horror

motif. In the description of her products on her website, she

even offers a few horror movies that remind her of the

product, so if you’ve already seen the movie that inspired

the product, there are some new options for you. The

products are all made with tons of luxurious ingredients that

will really nourish your skin.

I ordered four bath bombs from Ghoulish Bath Delights.

The pricing is comparable to Lush, and because it’s a small,

lesser-known business that really uses great ingredients, I

was more than willing to spend that money. When they

arrived the bath bombs were shrink-wrapped very well to

assure that they didn’t crumble into dust in transit. They

also came with a sample of “The Punishment of Krampus

Salt Scrub”, which not only is a very moisturizing and

detoxifying scrub, but it also smells incredible. Imagine

finding yourself in a quaint log cabin in the middle of an

autumnal evergreen forest. You spend the day wandering

through the bristled wood, taking in the fresh, primal air,

before you retire back to your cabin. You brew tea from

some spruce and pine needles you picked up on your

exploration, and then you sip it in front of your fireplace, as

it casts dancing shadows all around you. Now, back to

reality, I know that was a very longwinded explanation, but

the scent was so complex and transporting that I really don’t

have any other option to get that across to you all.

So far, I’ve tried two of the bath bombs: “Pinhead’s

Box”, inspired by the movie “Hellraiser”, and “Your Mother

Uses Bath Bombs in Hell”, inspired by “The Exorcist”. Now,

I’m going to be honest, “Pinhead’s Box”, while a beautiful

bath bomb, is nothing special. The scent is very much like a

generic soap, and the pigment in the bath bomb collected in

little patches on my body and lingered there until the next

time I showered. It was moisturizing, but I definitely

wouldn’t repurchase. “Your Mother Uses Bath Bombs in

Hell”, though, was as impressive as the salt scrub. The scent

of this immediately was just cocoa butter, but the more you

immerse yourself in it, the more the complexities reveal

themselves to you. The scent is more nuanced and deftly

balanced, which is a perfect contrast to the garish green

coloring of the bath bomb that was inspired by Regan’s

iconic projectile vomit from the film. There’s a sense of

history and lore to this scent, and I’ve never had a bath

bomb leave me so soft. It has been two days and I’m still

just randomly caressing myself because I can’t get over how

hydrating the bath bomb was.

As a spooky horror child and as a skin care and bath

fanatic, this online shop is a dream come true. And who

doesn’t love to support a great small business with great

products like this. Though I’ve only tried three products so

far, and one of them was a miss, the other two stole my

heart enough for me to fall in love with this company. I’m

aching to test out my other two bath bombs, and I think you

should all try out Ghoulish Bath Delight’s products.
