Turtle Jelly Bomb

Turtle jelly bomb

Our planet has a problem.  We have a global culture of a comfortable disposable lifestyle.  The majority of people would rather have a snack that is quick and cheap and packaged in 3 layers of non-biodegradable plastic than they would make some food for themselves or bring their own container from their home.  It is true, comfort is good, plastic is easy but oh, is bad for our environment.  It is estimated that before the year 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish.  However, that plastic gets in the ocean may be a hazy process but we can all prevent it from being made and used if we remove plastic from our lives. The Turtle Jelly bomb is made with the intent of bringing awareness to the world of how detrimental the overflow of waste from our cities, into our waterways and oceans, truly is.

Scented with earth and herbal ingredients this bath bomb is calming and uplifting.  Having a very similar scent as the retro Geo-Phyzz bath bomb, this is bath bomb that can relax even the most worried environmental-activists.  Made with Cypress Oil, Sandalwood Oil, Pine Needle Absolute and Seaweed Absolute, the smell of this jelly bomb is both earthy and fresh.  The earthy Pine Needle Oil oil works well with the almost more fresh Cypress oil to make an enjoyable smell that is not too "woody" and difficult to really categorize.   It is not overly 'Pine scented floor cleaner' nor is too herbal.   The balance of those two oils with the gentle fragrance of Sandalwood creates a smell that is something you really must experience for yourself.  However, if you enjoy any herbal or earthy smells, you can almost assuredly assume that this smell will be on your good list.

This jelly bomb has been made in two styles, for two different occasions. First, the Lush Summit in 2018 had a Mama and a Baby Turtle jelly bomb and later Lush released the Turtle jelly bomb and Turtle Immersion jelly bomb for sale to the general public. The first rendition of our shelled friend and the second release have the same ingredients, only their name is different. Both Turtle Immersion and Mama Turtle are larger sizes and the later are around 200 g each.

This jelly bomb is made with a fair quantity of sea salt to provide cleansing and hydrating mineral-rich bath water. It is also a jelly bomb which means it is made with sodium alginate which creates the jelly effect on the surface of your bath water.  This has been known to cause some Lushies problems during cleanup and even use.  Check out our ___ blog for some more information about Sodium Alginate in your bath. Turtle jelly bomb also has a core of compressed Agar Agar strands.  These slow-dissolving strands of jelly-like carbohydrates are meant to simulate the ocean surface, as the float to the top like pieces of discarded plastic.

Like most jelly bombs Turtle will create a thick layer of jelly on your bathtub.  The majority of its display will end up as green leaving only a few isolated spots of blue on the surface of the water.   Most Jelly bombs seem to be more resilient to the tests of time than sodium bicarbonate and it would be a fair guess to expect these jelly turtles to keep well in your lush archives.

Any uninitiated jelly bomb user should be aware of what was mentioned earlier and bears mentioning again.  Jelly bombs can be messy!  Not everyone will suffer the slings of slime residue but it could happen to you!  Make sure your bathtub is well cleaned before you use this or any lush product, and make sure that there is no calcium build-up aka soap scum on your bath walls for the color or jelly to stain.  Jelly Bombs have such a messy reputation that, on three separate occasions, Lady Bubble and Lord Fizz have been warned by SAs "Be careful, it stains!"

Also, the shape of this jelly bomb does not stay whole well.  Of the 4 Turtle Jelly bombs that Lady Bubble and Lord Fizz bought, 3 of them broke in some way. Usually, the head or front legs broke off.

If you are worried about saving the world's oceans, reduce your plastic usage, save water and tell your friends to do the same!  Turtles like this jelly bomb are becoming more and more endangered every day with our reckless and wasteful lifestyles.  If doing some simple things like that seem to much for you, try this jelly bomb and as you watch it spew beautiful green foam and disappears into your bath-water, imagine seeing this fate for all of the amazing sea turtles of our world.
