Product Description

You might say that badedas classic bubble bath from germany is the one that started it all. The badedas formula was copied by vitabath when it initiated the bubble bath craze here in the u.s. In the 80's. But savvy travelers and bathers in the know have been seeking out this hard-to-find original formula for decades. Made with horse chestnut, cedar wood and light patchouli, the natural, forest-like badedas leaves your skin revitalized, moisturized and smelling wonderful.

I purchased this item based on its reviews, and I do not regret it at all! The scent is very strong if you take a whiff from the bottle, but once in the bath water, it is much less in your face. This bubble bath is not overly bubbly, which I like, gives off a very relaxing yet stimulating scent, and makes your bath water a pale green. Which, to me, adds to the relaxation for some reason. It's awesome!

This review is from: Badedas Classic Vital Bad Bubble Bath, 25.5 Fluid Ounce (Misc.)

I was introduced to Badedas bubble bath about 30 years ago by my sister, who said the stuff had near-magical properties (it does). She said it's full of unusual botanicals (true), makes tons of long-lasting bubbles (yup), smells incredibly good (oh yeah), and leaves the tub sparkling clean (also true). The cost back then was around $1 an ounce.

I've become mostly a shower-taker, but recently, when my 20-year-old bottle of Bededas turned up empty, I decided to revisit the stuff. Remembering my sister's warning that the "Vita-Bath" products are an American copy of Bededas without all the great botanicals, I was looking for the genuine article. Lo and behold, I found it on Amazon, of course, from several dealers at various price-points. Smallflower (aka Merz Apothecary of Chicago) seems like a reputable dealer, selling the real deal, and even with somewhat exorbitant shipping, the price is now LESS than $1 an ounce. Pretty good for 30 years. Shipping was quite fast, by the way, and the product arrived UPS on the sixth calendar day after ordering.

This Badedas (now owned by Sara Lee!) is apparently the original formula, made in Germany, with the horse chestnut oil that helps make it so magical. It also contains limonene, a very citrus-scented hydrocarbon derived from plants, and linalool, a more floral-spicy scented chemical found in over 200 species of plant. Not the kind of stuff you'd find in your average drugstore bubble bath. The overall scent is somewhat pine-y, and incredibly fresh and pleasant.

A small amount of Badedas added to running hot water makes a lot of luxurious bubbles. The overall sensation is one of slight skin-softening without the oiliness you get with some products. Also, a slight sense of skin-tightening, but this is somewhat subjective. USE NO SOAP in a Badedas bath-- you don't need any. Just a washcloth or sponge, and you leave the bath feeling quite clean. Badedas seems to absorb dirt and body oils and odors into solution, and it all goes down the drain, leaving you, and your bathtub, quite clean. Remarkable stuff.

If you ever take a bath for relaxation, or even a wash-up, I'd highly recommend Badedas. Smallflower has an excellent price on this 25.5 ounce size, and if you take one bath a week, this bottle should last you at least two years! Badedas is a wonderful luxury bath product, and would make a terrific gift for a bubble bath fan, or even yourself and/or your mate.

My Mother used to bring Badedas back to be from London. I wasn't sure where to find it here. I found this on Amazon & found it to be the most reasonable & it looked like just what I wanted. I purchased. It shipped and I received in great shape in a more than timely manner. I love it. I will buy all my Badedas from this place. For those of you who haven't tried badedas-- it is a luscious gel with a classic fragrence-- woodsy-beautiful.
