How to Use a Cauldron Soak: A Gothic Guide to Bath Time Bliss 🛁🖤

Let’s be honest—some days call for more than just a bath. You need a ritual. A release. A full-body reset. That’s where our Cauldron Soaks come in. Think of them as mood potions for your tub: deconstructed bath bombs with salt, shimmer, and a touch of the dark and dreamy.

Whether you're melting into the shadows after a long day or setting the tone for a solo self-care night, here’s how to get the most out of your soak.

Step 1: Set the Scene 🕯️

This is your moment to embrace the dark. Light some candles (preferably black or blood red), turn off the overheads, and queue up your most haunting playlist (we recommend Sleep Token for maximum atmospheric feels). Think cozy crypt—not spa day.

Step 2: Fill the Tub 💧

Run a warm bath—just shy of scalding. You want that rich, steamy heat that makes your muscles sigh in relief.

Step 3: Add the Magic ✨

Sprinkle your Cauldron Soak into the water and give it a swirl. Watch the herbs and salts bloom and drift like smoke through the water. Bonus points if you whisper your troubles into the tub and let them dissolve with the soak.

Step 4: Soak It All In 🌿

Lower yourself into the water and let it claim you. Breathe deep, let your thoughts quiet, and allow the soak to work its calming, skin-loving magic.

Step 5: Optional Add-Ons 🖤

Crystals, incense, a book of poetry, or a glass of deep red wine—add whatever feeds your soul. This is your sacred space, designed by and for you.

Step 6: Drain + Rinse 💦

Once you’ve fully decompressed, rinse off any leftover herbs or shimmer. Wrap yourself in your softest towel and take a moment to feel how light you are now.


Bonus Tip: No tub? No problem. Use your Cauldron Soak as a foot soak and still get the ritual, minus the full immersion.
