Rejuvenate the senses, with oriental lotus flower & orange blossom bath soak. According to the description on the back of the bottle the sacred lotus flower helps to rejuvenate the mind and when it's blended with oil of orange blossom it will revive your senses. I checked the ingredients on the Radox website and found the following list. It was an education in itself!

Aqua, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Chloride, Parfum, Sine Adipe Lac, Nelumbo Nucifera Flower Extract, Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Extract, Citric Acid, Glycol Distearate, Limonene, Sodium Lactate, Polyquaternium-7, Steareth-4, Hexyl Cinnamal, Linalool, Tetrasodium EDTA, Butylene Glycol, Sodium Benzoate, CI 16035, CI 16255.

In this list the sacred lotus flower is Nelumbo Nucifera Flower Extract, and the orange blossom is Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Extract. Put it together with the chemicals and suddenly the handful of lotus blossoms and the few drops of orange blossom oil didn't seem quite so romantic or mystical.

One thing that concerned me was the use of Sodium Laureth Sulfate or SLS. This chemical is a degreasant and is widely used in toiletries. Apparently some research has found that it can be an irritant to the skin. However, I have a sensitive skin and I found no ill effects but I have to add that I only use the Radox bath therapy very occasionally. Do be careful if you get this product in your eyes. The label on the bottle is quite hard to read but it does tell you to rinse well with clean water if you get it in your eyes.

When I used the product I was impressed with the amount of bubbles created with a small amount of Radox. It seemed quite a lot better than other similar products I'd used and the perfume was not too overpowering. It was quite relaxing in fact and I thoroughly enjoyed my Radox bath.

So were my senses rejuvenated? Not noticeably! I'd spent a long hard day helping to run a dog show. It was winter, my feet ached, my brain felt numb and my body had spent all day trying to join it. A reviving bath was just what I needed. I didn't notice any difference in brain function but the nice hot bath did wonders for my aching joints.

I would say Radox bath therapy is great for occasional use but claims that it rejuvenates and revives the senses are more to do with the general effects of feeling better after a bath than the ingredients in the product.
