Barefoot Venus Mustard Bath - Too Good AND True

  • How often do you find a product that really is as good (or even better) than it proclaims itself to be? 
  • How many times have you discovered one that gets a perfect score in review after review... after review?
Sound too good to be true?
Well, it is "too good", but we agree that the hype is absolutely true.  If you haven't tried it yet, stop in at the boutique and pick up a cute, vintagey container of Barefoot Venus Mustard Bath... then it will be tried and true!
Yikes... is it really Mustard?
Well, sort of!  Barefoot Venus Mustard Bath contains mustard seed powder, which has been used for centuries as a detoxifier.  A mustard bath is a traditional English therapeutic remedy.   The ancient Greeks & Romans, Europeans, Native Americans and the Ayurvedic tradition of India have all used mustard in this way*.

Barefoot Venus has managed to create the perfect mustard bath, infusing it with aromatic essential oils and 100% natural bath salts.

How does it work?
Put a healthy scoop in a hot bath, inhale and relax.  The therapeutic properties of mustard go to work pulling nasty toxins from your skin and the epsom salts relax your muscles while the wintergreen, eucalyptus, chamomile and rosemary surround you in a curative cape, leaving you feeling top-notch, clear-headed and ready to indulge your next girlish whim.

So, this is a girl's product?
While we'd like to lay claim to it, we know how great it is to find something that works well, makes you feel wonderful and smells fantastic.  We`re willing to share it -- unless it is the last scoop!

Words of warning
Bet you expected something cautionary in this section, but this product is oh-so-natural and our words of warning are simply this:

Stock up now! 
Barefoot Venus Mustard Bath is the fastest selling b&b product in the boutique and it isn't uncommon for customers to purchase 2, 3, 4 or more at a time.  This makes a fantastic gift for family or friends and works for any occasion... even as a hostess gift!

The guiding principle at Barefoot Venus is to support a lifestyle of beauty and wellness through the simple pleasures of their natural, aromatic bath and body experiences.

Apple Box Boutique carries a variety of Barefoot Venus bath and body products.

Spotlight on Eco-friendly Products: Barefoot Venus

Today is day two of our focus on eco-friendly and natural products.   Yesterday we mentioned that we are consciously making an effort to offer items that are kind to our planet and our customers' health and want to share the stories of our three major eco lines: Whitewater Candles, Barefoot Venus Bath and Body, and Annie Sloan Chalk Paint for Furniture, Walls and Floors.

We chose Barefoot Venus products for their enviro-smart approach to their business, the message they impart, and their aromatic product line... not to mention their cute vintagey packaging.  I mean after all, we are a female-run company!

SpotlightBarefoot Venus


Barefoot Venus is a family-owned bath-and-body care business founded in Edmonton, AB and now based in Kelowna, B.C.  The brand is natural, cruelty-free and the company takes eco-responsibility seriously by using minimal packaging and  environmentally-friendly printing.

Barefoot Venus’ guiding principle is "to support a lifestyle of beauty and wellness through the simple pleasures of our natural, aromatic bath and body experiences" and they do that in part by formulating their products without parabens, propylene glycol, mineral oil, synthetic colors or sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS).

They share a message of personal empowerment beginning with taking care of yourself which they believe will lead to making a difference "out there".  One of the quotes you will find amidst their advertising is Mahatma Ghandi's "Be the change you want to see".  Another is "Feel good about yourself and your place in the world, allow your confidence and beauty to radiate and inspire."

Soaking in a calming sea of bubbles, moisturizing with mood inspiring lotion; cleansing with Mother Nature’s earth and sea substances... Barefoot Venus subscribes to the idea that their products will help you turn your everyday routine into an opportunity to indulge your spirit, letting beauty bloom, and wellness flourish.
With a mantra like that, the curious question now is... are the products any good?  We'd have to say no...
the products are GREAT! 


From therapeutic and moisturizing bath soaks to cleansers, creams, lotions and more, it is impossible to go wrong with any of their offerings, and that's not just our opinion.  Google Barefoot Venus and you will find two important distinctions:
  1. There is an international love-fest for all things BV, and
  2. The founders and company prefer to let their products do the talking
There are no huge-money campaigns to push the lines in commercials and you will not find reams of video footage or print articles about the owners, the founders or the developers. Instead there are refreshingly positive product reviews by magazines and real people, and humble community announcements written by local newspapers and business organizations about awards the company has had bestowed upon it.

What's not to love?
