Review (5/5): An awesome, assertive capsaicin soak
This is one of our favorite bath salts - it has an assertive, savory scent more like a nice hot pot broth than a bath salt. It’s a scent that may not be everyone, but I dig it - it’s a nice change of pace from the more common fruity/floral/perfumey scents.
While I can’t read the Japanese packaging, these kinds of capsaicin-based bath salts usually market themselves as promoting sweating and improving circulation. While I’m skeptical of these sorts of quasi-medical, unregulated claims, I can definitely attest to the sweating and find this makes for an invigorating bath. These salts dissolve clear in the water - no dyes or muddy clouding. And although the scent is assertive, the capsaicin doesn’t burn or otherwise radically change the bath experience.
