Life Brand Fruity Foam Bath

Here's a product that I like to keep on my shelf:
FruityFoamBath
Life Brand Fruity Foam Bath

I first bought this product after moving out of residence and into an apartment with my very own bathtub. After deciding you can't have a bath without bubbles, I decided to try the cheapest bubble bath I could find (go Life Brand!). I first tried the grape, which I greatly enjoyed, and then moved on to the pictured strawberry scent (I decided the cherry was a bit too cough medicine for me, and I might try the watermelon at a later date).

The Look: Fun, brightly coloured bottles contain a clear goo (I just squirted a little on my hand to check - ew!). A generous squeeze of the foam bath into the water as you're filling your tub produces fantastic, white fluffy bubbles. At one point I had thought the grape might actually be tinting the bathwater a purple colour, but further studies have found that the water colouration is more likely something to do with my lovely city water (wouldn't bathwater-tinting bubble bath be great fun though?).

The Scent: This foam bath definitly has an exagerated fruit scent that seems to go hand-in-hand with your average kid's product. The grape and cherry are unmistakeable, the strawberry smells good... but I wouldn't have been able to identify the scent blindfolded... and as far as watermeleon goes... not being one of my favorite fruits, I wasn't aware it had a scent, smelled ok though. The fruity frangrance lightly lingers on your skin after the bath, not unpleasently. It brings back fond childhood memories of staying in the tub 'til pruney and bubble-less.

The Claims: The label reads "Fruity Foam Bath is specially formulated for the delicate skin of children". I don't have an issue with sensitive skin, and I certainly had no problems with this product. It also claims that the "foam bath will gently cleanse leaving skin feeling fresh and smooth". I felt perfectly clean without using additional soap, and didn't experience any skin dryness after bathing.

The Verdict: I really enjoyed this product. The bubbles seemed to last a really long time... when I was younger, bubble baths never seemed to last long enough. Although, I might not be lingering in the tub quite as long as I used to... The scents are fun, though adult bathers might not be able to take such a bath too seriously (honestly though, who takes a bubble bath seriously?). I agree with the bottle, "kids will delight in the bubbles and the fun, fruity fragrances are sure to please" and add that adults can also delight in this product, and it's pleasing price!

I was unable to find further reviews on Life Brand Fruity Foam Bath, or further information about this product on the Shoppers Drug Mart website (Life Brand is exclusively at Shoppers).

Don't forget to appropriatly supervise little kids in the tub! And try this Life Brand Fruity Foam bath yourself, in your favorite exaggerated fruit scent!
