No plastic bath bombs (NEW Sherbet Bath Sachets)
Ngongotaha Cottage Shop
Our luxurious Eco friendly Sherbet Bath sachets are totally plastic free. Give yourself a luxury bath without soap, just use a face cloth. Bath bombs must be shrink wrapped so I have stopped making them for this reason. Sheret Bath sachets are exactly the same as a bath bomb, but come in a paper packet and are not in a hard lump. One packet does one bath. There is very little clean up afterwards, as they make the bath water really soft so when you empty the bath there is little or no "bath ring". Flavours this week: Lavender, DebE, Vanilla Musk, and, Love. $3 each.
Our ingredients include: Baking Soda, Citric Acid, Oatmeal (finely ground), Jojoba and Apricot kernel oils, Kaolin Clay, Tapioca starch, and fragrance, Essential oils. (according to your choice) colour free.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
