The Vanilla Effect Bath Soak
Soft vanilla with an unexpected floral side. Barefoot Venus The Vanilla Effect Bath Soak combines Epsom salt, cocoa butter, shea butter and nourishing plant oils in a creamy bath ritual scented with vanilla, jasmine and lily of the valley.

THE VANILLA EFFECT SCENT PROFILE
Vanilla, Jasmine & Lily of the Valley
Soft • Floral • Comforting • Delicate
A Softer Kind of Vanilla
The Vanilla Effect pairs familiar vanilla warmth with delicate floral notes. Jasmine adds a softly fragrant character, while lily of the valley gives the scent a light, clean finish.
Compared with the sweet maple, buttery vanilla and espresso notes of Maple Blondie, The Vanilla Effect is lighter and more floral. It is ideal for people who enjoy vanilla fragrances but do not want something that smells strongly like dessert.
A Creamy, Skin-Softening Bath Soak
Barefoot Venus combines its Epsom salt base with cocoa butter, shea butter and conditioning plant oils. These ingredients disperse through warm bath water to create a rich, moisturizing experience that leaves skin feeling soft and cared for.
Cocoa Butter
A rich plant butter that helps moisturize and soften dry-feeling skin.
Shea Butter
Helps nourish and condition the skin during your bath-time ritual.
Sweet Almond Oil
A lightweight emollient that contributes to the soak’s smooth, silky feel.
Corn Starch
Included specifically in The Vanilla Effect formula to enhance its soft bath-water texture.
How to Use
- Add the bath soak to warm running water.
- Allow the salts, plant butters and oils to disperse before stepping into the tub.
- Settle in and enjoy the soft vanilla and floral fragrance.
- Use care when entering and leaving the tub because moisturizing oils can make surfaces slippery.
- Rinse the bathtub after use to remove any remaining oils or product residue.
Please note: For external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes and do not use on broken or irritated skin. Review the complete ingredient list before use if you have sensitive skin or known ingredient sensitivities.
