This kit includes natural ingredients for making your own spa products. Along the way, you will learn what some of the different ingredients are, and what they're used for, as well as a bit of aromatherapy.
Included in the kit are the following items:
3 essential fragrance oils (coconut, strawberry, & vanilla), oats, citric acid, sea salt, baking soda, bentonite clay, a wooden spatula, a plastic pipette, an eye mask, 7 empty plastic storage jars and bottles for the "products" you create, and an instruction booklet. The kit includes instructions and some of the products needed to create: a bentonite clay mask, a french vanilla bentonite clay facial, perfumes, an island goddess foot soak, caribbean fizz sugar cubes (for the bath), café vanilla frappe pre glazing bath or shower wash, surfing oahu scrub, a sweet honey mask, a natural oats yogurt mask, a strawberry-honey clay mask, a chocolate clay facial, a banana oatmeal honey mask, a natural blemish treatment, a caribbean island spa treatment, a blueberry honey face mask, and a whipped apple pie body scrub.
The use of a stove or microwave is required for some of the activities.
When making some of the products, you will need to supplement with some items from your home, such as water, flowers, honey, ground coffee, yogurt, strawberries, cocoa, milk, bananas, tomatoes, lemon or lime juice, blueberries, whipping cream, apple juice, and measuring cups/spoons/bowls, and towels and washcloths.
Lots of fun for any girl who enjoys bath products, cooking, etc!

This was a birthday present for my daughter, and since we have made these type of products before, I expected to get a lot of use out of it. This is a great kit if you have not made these products before, or if you don't have the basic ingredients already. Since I have baking soda, oatmeal, European clay, citric acid and salt in my cupboards already (and the kit comes with about $5 worth of these ingredients) and keep essential oils (the oils in the kit are synthetic- maybe $3 worth) the only benefits are the jars and directions. It would be great for a little girl's party, if you get extra jars (the kit comes with maybe four 1 ounce jars and two 4 ounce jars).

I will not be giving this item to my children! I ordered several for Christmas and items arrived with a huge "THIS ITEM IS KNOWN TO CONTAIN INGREDIENTS THAT CAUSE CANCER" sticker plastered across the front. NO WAY!!

This product has a better box appeal than content appeal. The materials inside do not add up to that much. Most of the materials (aside for the oils) can be found in your kitchen. I would have liked a few more oils (not just 3-vanilla, strawberry and coconut)in order to make perfume and then instructions for other products could incorporate the products a person already has at home.

I bought this kit as a Christmas present for my 7 year-old daughter, and was disappointed by it. The components of the kit are every day items that could easily be found in many stocked kitchens, such as baking soda, sea salt and oats, and not much of each. It includes only 3 essential oils (vanilla, coconut, and strawberry). For the price of the kit, I expected much more. I feel like I spent $30 for a few ingredients, most of which I had in my pantry, some small empty jars, and a handful of recipes that I could have easily found on the internet. We had one enjoyable morning, but that was it. It's definitely not worth the money.

This was very easy to use, but you very quickly run out of ingredients. Also some of the recipies need to be adjusted, things come out way to thick or to thin. There is also not enough ingredients to do more than a couple of the redipes in the book. Overall my daughter had a good time with it, we are still looking for more citric acid.

I got this for my niece and she had a lot of fun with it. It's a great introduction to making your own spa/beauty products. She loved the sea salts and now wants to make homemade gifts for people! Great for getting kids imaginations going and it's great that you make something you can actually use!!

I bought this kit for my granddaughter's 8th birthday. She loves it! We had foot soaks one evening and she is also looking forward to doing facial masks, body soaks and perfumes. There are many ingredients included for them to use to make a lot of things. I was very pleased with all the capabilities of this product! It does require adult supervision but my daughter was very pleased with it and excited about doing many of the scientific products with my granddaughters!

I got this for my 10 year old niece and she has had major fun with this kit. She and her mom have been pampering themselves. Highly recommend for this age group!

Purchased this product as a Christmas present for my 12-year-old neice who loves sciene experiments. Unforunately, the product did not ship well, and powders and liquids came out of the packaging which made a big mess when opened. We obtained a refund after the product was returned. It was a good idea, but unless the shipping situation is resolved, I would not recommend the product.
