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!

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.

I was introduced to Badedas when I lived in Germany many years ago. Once you use this product nothing else can compare to it. I am glad to see that it can be purchased now within the States but someone is making a lot of money on it. It is still quite cheap in comparison if bought from a store in Germany. At any price, it is worth every penny and your skin will thank you for it.

My name is Mickey Jones and I have been using badedas for over twelve years ,and not don't but won't use anything else

I kept seeing this brand on Smallflower's website and on Amazon. I can't believe I didn't try it sooner. The whole family loves it! Not subtle, but not overpowering either. I will be recommending Badedas to family and friends. And I'll be buying more before this one runs out!

I am very happy with my purchase of Badedas bath wash through Smallflower.com/Amazon. I have found it at half price at my neighborhood Marshall's store, but it is very difficult to find/in seemingly short supply here.

However, it came in 2-3 days via Amazon shopping. I was thrilled.

This product has horse chestnut extract, is made in Germany, and smells absolutely awesome. I bought two. There is nothing like it. It is truly green liquid gold.

I started using Badedas after a friend brought me some from Bermuda. After I ran out of the bottle my friend left, I went back to my old product, for one shower, and I HAD to have my Badedas back again. So I checked on Amazon.com and of course I found it. Now I won't be without....Love the scent, and no need for body lotion afterwards....wish there was a product like this made in the USA, but there doesn't seem to be, so I buy Badedas, made in Germany. They sure do know how to make a girl smell great!!!

The only way to take a shower after a hot day working in the garden!

I have long despaired of finding a decent bubble bath in the USA, long been a fan of Radox, the UK brand, but recently bought Badedas, and remembered it from childhood. Worth the trouble, great long lasting foam, fantastic pine, fresh clean smelling scent that filled my whole apartment and my skin feels lovely. Best of all I feel like I had a spa day in my own tub.
