Onsen Powder Reviews

 

美力UP革命 Miryoku up kakumei  

desc: Tropical bath Gal Style! Papaya and coconut! Great rich scent of coconut. Packaging is the real attraction here. Nothing special about this one but still nice, light, and scent is pleasing & sticks around!

scent: Tropical Coconut

color: Clear Yellow

love:

 

お湯物語 牛乳風呂

scent: Green Apple, Yuzu, Peach, Rose, Milk

color: Milky: green, yellow, pink, light pink, white

love:

 

ワイン風呂 Wine Color Bath

scent: Wine

color: Clear Burgundy

love:

 

薬泉バスロマン

scent: シトラスフローラル, nature

color: Milky White

love:

 

バスロマン クール

scent: Orange

color: Clear ocean blue

love:

 

バスクリン 摘みたて緑茶の香り

desc: A great winter bath salt. Promotes health and is perfect for cold & flu. The green tea aroma helps decongestant most sniffles. The salt itself resembles sand but dissolves cleanly.

scent: Green Tea

color: Murky green

love:

 

日本の名湯 山代

desc: Representing hot springs from Yamashiro. This particular bath powder just didn’t have as much “omph” for me scent-wise. Still pleasant though!

scent: Iris

color: Milky blue

love:

 

あろまじゃぱん 茶

scent: Tea

color: Milky green

love:

 

あろまじゃぱん 菖蒲

desc: Aroma Japan with the essence of iris. Stress reducing (of course!). Has a wonderful luxurious scent.

scent: Iris

color: Milky purple

love:

 

バスクリンピュアスキン ローズヒップ

desc: This type is said to make skin super soft. It uses rosehip oil to soften skin and the scent is of course, rose. My skin was slightly less dry afterwards. I really noticed the pure rose smell and the extreme milkiness of the water. If you like the scent of rose, this one is a must!

scent: Rose

color: Milky white

love:

 

薬泉めぐり

desc: Healing hot springs from 4 different regions. Hokkaido, Yamagata, Nagano, & Kagoshima. Great for winter fatigue, colds, and sinuses.

scent: Eucalyptus, pine; more to come

color: Clear green, more to come

love:

 

日本の名湯

desc: 10 packets representing different hot springs from across Japan. Great variety pack of this brand of bath powders. Personal favorites include 濁河 and 乳頭

scent: Various

color: Various

love:

 

きき湯

desc: Tiny bath stones of clay that bubble up into a milky white bath. A good winter bath mix for circulation and dry skin. Enjoyable, but can irritate the skin if you soak for too long. Good to do a final shower rinse after soaking.

scent: Natural

color: Milky white

love:

 

バスキング 温漢浴

desc: Chinese chill symptom & fatigue recovery bath salts with carrot and 川芎 (Chuanxiong)(english= Lovage) I found that it irritated my skin a bit, but after rinsing, everything seemed fine.

scent: Citrus/herb

color: Milky white

love:

 

きき湯

desc: This was given to me in a pack of others that were for sweating/weight
loss. It had a great scent and was mildly intense! I’ll definitely be buying
a full pack of this when I can.

scent: seashore (?)

color: Milky green

love:

 

あつあつ

desc: This was given to me in a pack of others that were for sweating/weight loss. Nice scent but a bit weak for “sweat bath.”

scent: アジアンハーブ [asian herb]

color: Clear red, pink

love:

 

クールバスクリン

desc: A great summer bath powder meant to cool and refresh tired and even sunburned skin. FANTASTIC. The best “cool” powder I’ve tried thus far! A generic floral scent, but nice.

scent: Fresh Floral

color: Milky Blue

love:

 

バスキング炭酸ガスの薬用入浴剤

desc: Carbon Dioxide medicated bath tablets. Just plunk 1 into the water for a fizzing, scented bath. These were OK. The scents are pretty generic with Forest being my favorite. Kinda leaves a funny taste on the skin so avoid getting the water on your face (aka around the lips.)

scent: Citrus, Lavender, Cherry Blossom, Forest

color: clear orange, purple, pink, or green

love:

 

露天湯めぐり

desc: Open-air onsen powders. The first I ever purchased so maybe I’m biased. These are my all-time favorites. There are 4 types representing different open-air baths.
秋田乳頭, 長野五色, 青森猿倉, 群馬桜山. Great milky powders that have a lasting, wonderful scent!

scent: Various

color: milky white, blue, pink, or green

love:

 

薬湯めぐり

desc: Medicated bath powders. 岩手須川, 鳥取関金, 愛知湯谷, 石川深谷. Fantastic for skin ailments such as acne or sunburn. Clear with fresh, light scents.

scent: Various

color: Clear Green, Orange, Amber

love:

 

美汗SPA

desc: This was given to me in a pack of others that were for sweating/weight loss. Beauty sweat spa. Red pepper extract gives this sweat bath its pop. A mild sweat bath with a fantastic scent!

scent: Raspberry

color: Milky Hot Pink

love:

 

日本の名湯 十和田

desc: From the well known hot springs of Japan series, Towada. A nice pine forest scent. Mild.

scent: Forest/Pine

color: Milky Green

love:

 

バスロマン スーパークール

desc: Super Cool! A nice summer type with super cool mint. Really powerful and like a peppermint bath. No complaints!

scent: Mint

color: Clear Blue

love:

 

バスクリン ミックスハーブの香り  

desc: Mixed Herb! Surprisingly nice! Spicy floral scent, but not
too perfumed, with camomile. I really enjoyed this one as a nice whenever
bath salt.

scent: mixed herb

color: Light Green

love:

 

バスロマン ヒノキ浴  

desc: Japanese Cypress bath. Fantastic winter bath salt with a great scent. Absolute must for winter relaxing.

scent: Cedar

color: Milky Amber

love:

 

バスクリン もぎたてりんごの香り

desc: Disappointing. I was excited to finally try this aroma but wish I hadn’t. I had the ideal of fresh warm apples but was met with bitter, sour apple in a toxic radioactive green bath! The scent is just too bitter and tart and the color doesn’t help mask that.

scent: Fresh Apple

color: Light Green

love:
