Jenna & Kate Bath Boutique

In May of 2014 two sisters, ages 9 and 12 years old, were looking for ideas of something to do over the summer and possibly make some money to go to Disneyland. Since sisters don’t always agree on everything, it was very exciting when they both screamed “Bath Bombs!” as their decision. By July they were in 3 small stores near their home and started a Facebook page. They use all natural and organic ingredients and scent each product with pure essential oils. Every item is handmade by them personally. Today they have added bath salts, hand & body scrub, soaps and their very popular lip balms with matching edible lip scrubs to their product line. All orders there are directed through their Etsy page.
