MYTHOS

Eurydice was a woodland nymph who came to fall in love with Orpheus, the son of the god Apollo and the muse Calliope. Orpheus was gifted a lyre by his father and was known to play music that was said to be even more beautiful that the songs of the Sirens. Still reeling from excitement and euphoria on her wedding day, Eurydice didn't notice a viper at her feet while she danced with the water nymphs. The viper bit Eurydice and killed her, leaving Orpheus devastated. Orpheus would mourn the death of Eurydice greatly, and the songs he composed and performed were so sad that even gods were said to have wept.

Orpheus set out to descend to Hades to convince him to let his wife leave the underworld and be given back her life. Any other mortal would have died, but Orpheus, being protected by the gods, went to Hades and persuaded him to be able to take Eurydice back with him. Hades agreed under one condition: Eurydice would have to follow behind Orpheus while walking out from the caves of the underworld, and he could not turn to look at her as they walked. Orpheus went around in the Underworld searching for Eurydice, when he heard her, he closed his eyes and reached out for her hand. Thus Eurydice began her ascent from the underworld; something that few souls ever did.

Unable to hear Eurydice's footsteps, Orpheus began to fear that Hades had fooled him. Only a few feet away from the exit, Orpheus turned to see Eurydice behind him, sending her back to be trapped in the underworld forever. Orpheus tried to return to the underworld but was unable to as a person cannot enter the realm of Hades twice while alive.

Our hand pressed bath tarts have been formulated to create a skin softening and hydrating bath.

Known for its ability to act as a lightweight moisturizer, mango butter helps to create a vegan and guilt-free alternative to a traditional milk bath. Chamomile extract's ability to penetrate deep into the skin helps to increases the efficacy of the mango butter while also soothing skin.

Naturally-derived polysorbate 80 helps the dense oil and butter combo in our bath tarts bind to bath water. This maximizes the moisturizing effects of our bath tarts and also helps to ensure that the oils are disbursed evenly throughout your bath, rather than just sitting on top of the water.

Each of our bath tarts contain organic dried botanicals to add a little luxury to your bath.

Drop one or two bath tarts into your bath. Take care when exiting your tub, as surfaces may become slippery. Wipe tub clean after use.

Store in cool, dry place out of direct sunlight when not in use.

Our bath tart labels are curbside recyclable and are categorized under plastic category 4 LDPE, or low-density polyethylene.

The glassine paper used to wrap each bath tart is both biodegradable and curbside recyclable under paper category PAP-22, or plain paper.
