Sea+Tea Bath Soak

Herbaceous and green, like a garden after rain or coastal brush on a cool morning. The essential oil blend was developed in collaboration with Cliff House Maine, the spa that has held its place on the Maine rocky coast since 1872. Yarrow, bergamot, gardenia, and marigold come together sharp and clean, more like crushing herb stems between your fingers than walking on a beach. Not sweet, not floral, not fake ocean breeze.

That's the chamomile flower powder. Ground Chamomilla recutita steeps right in the tub, releasing its color and a faint herbal note as the water warms. You'll see it suspended in the water, drifting around you. The cloudiness is the chamomile doing its job, not a sign of synthetic dye or filler. The water clears as it drains, and the green herbal scent layers underneath the essential oil blend.

The essential oil blend was developed with the team at Cliff House Maine, a spa perched on the rocky coast since 1872. They wanted a scent that captured what you actually smell on the cliffs in the morning: yarrow, bergamot, gardenia, marigold, sharp and clean rather than sweet or beachy. The blend lives in the bath soak, which is why the water here smells more like a herb walk than a candle.

For the person who finds beach-and-tropical fragrances cloying. For the one who books a coastal Maine inn over a Caribbean resort. For the gardener whose favorite scent is the moment they brush past wormwood or yarrow on a morning walk. Pair it with the Sea+Tea Body Scrub and Sea+Tea Body Cream if you want the full coastal-spa routine, or use it solo when the day calls for a long, herbal soak.

Run a warm bath and add 2 to 6 tablespoons depending on tub size and how strong you want the scent. Get in while the water is still running so the salts dissolve fully and the botanicals release their oils. Soak for at least 20 minutes. The scent will linger in the bathroom long after you drain the tub. Rinse with cool water after if you like, or skip it and head straight to your body cream.

That depends on how generous you are with the scoop. At 2 tablespoons per bath you'll stretch a bag across many soaks. At 6 tablespoons for a deep tub or a particularly rough day, it goes faster. Most people land somewhere in the middle. Once opened, use within six months for the freshest scent and the brightest botanicals. Store away from heat, light, and moisture between uses.

The base ingredients are mineral salts and Epsom salt, which most skin tolerates well. The botanicals and essential oils where present can occasionally trigger sensitivity, particularly if you have known reactions to florals or herbs. If you tend to react easily, do a small patch test on the inside of your wrist before a full soak. These are for external use only. Discontinue use if you notice any irritation, redness, or discomfort.

Yes. Buy three or more soaks and you'll save 15% automatically at checkout. Mix the varieties. Sea+Tea, Rose Garden, and Peace of Mind each offer a different scent, a different ritual, and a different reason to draw a bath. Some people keep all three in rotation through the seasons. Others buy three of the same to gift, since one fits neatly in a stocking, a hostess basket, or a "you've earned this" envelope to a friend.
