Beloved cosmetics company Lush has just dropped a Saltburn-inspired bath bomb and I am dying over the photoshoot that was done to promote this product.
It is without a doubt that Saltburn, starring Jacob Elordi, Barry Keoghan and Rosamund Pike, was one of 2023’s spiciest movies. Look, I won’t give too much away about the plot — because I implore you to give the movie a geeze — but there’s one scene that seems to have captivated the world.
But if you need the TL;DR on that masterpiece of a scene: basically, Keoghan watches Elordi unload his man juices into a bathtub. Keoghan then goes on to guzzle up — like full-on slurp slurp — what’s leftover from the drain.
Oop, sorry. Did I forget that you should watch this movie alone? Nope? Well yeah, it ain’t a film for family movie night.
Following the world’s obsession with the cooked and cursed, Lush decided to make a bath bomb inspired by that delicious water.
On the cosmetic company’s UK site, it listed a product titled “Saltbomb”, which is an obvious play on the movie’s title. However, it’s the photos that were used on the website that really sell it.
I am DISGUSTED. I’LL TAKE 50 OF THESE.
All jokes aside, the Saltbomb does sound quite luxe. According to Lush, the cheeky little item features a bunch of ingredients that’ll make you feel like “Hollywood royalty”, such as coconut milk and mineral-rich coarse sea salt.
And if you’re worried about the smell — IYKYK — it says it shares the same scent as their Milky Bath bubble bar, which features notes of sweet orange and earthy patchouli.
The item is currently selling for GBP£5.00 (AUD$9.71) and unfortunately, it’s only available in the UK.
Speaking to PEDESTRIAN.TV, a Lush Australia spokesperson recommended the Butterball bath bomb which is kinda like a cheeky Aussie dupe.
This isn’t the first time that Saltburn has influenced the direction of a product.
Earlier this year, a bunch of Etsy shops decided to make candles inspired by Elordi’s bath water — which Margot Robbie and America Ferrera huffed at the Golden Globes.
One person on TikTok also made a creamy white cocktail that was supposed to resemble the water from the scene.
Now excuse me as I try to convince my partner to get me the bath bomb, candle and cocktail for Valentine’s Day.
