What a unique experience in Carmel, where things can feel so cookie cutter sometimes. Located in the town center in a deceivingly small area, there is a huge selection of scents to choose from and combine. My girlfriend got this experience for me as a birthday gift and I was initially overwhelmed the array of options available. There is a list of suggested combinations available based on your interests and the scents are categorized by their smells, such as fruits, spices, and musks. Even further, Melissa, the owner, was there when we went and was able to blend scents based on our interests. They have a variety of items to apply the scents to, including scrubs, body washes, and aftershaves. While a little expensive, the ability to choose your own fragrances in quality products is definitely worth it and worth coming back to. read more

Bath Junkie - Scent station - The image shows a retail display at Bath Junkie, featuring shelves filled with blue bottles of bath and body products, organized in rows. Above the shelves, there are labels indicating different scents such as lavender, light, and vanilla. The display includes pump dispensers at the bottom, likely for lotions or oils. In the foreground, there are two glass sinks and a sign indicating the store's policy on product testing. The setting appears to be a retail environment focused on customizable bath products. - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

Allergic reaction. While my experience started off positively, it ultimately left me disappointed. The staff at the store were kind and helpful, assisting me in customizing a Hydrating Body Mist in the cherry almond scent. However, when I used the product for the first time, I experienced a skin reaction. My neck and chest became red and irritated, with a stinging sensation that lasted for several hours. I reached out to Bath Junkie to report the issue and share a photo, and I will say that their customer service team responded promptly. The representative I corresponded with apologized for the situation and advised me to stop using the product immediately. She said their product packaging was accurate. There was no offer to make things right, such as a refund or replacement, nor any apparent takeaway on their end to dispose of (or further test) the cherry or almond scents in my product, or change their labeling. I do have sensitive skin, but I've used a variety of customizable products from other brands (e.g. Buff City Soaps) without issue, and shop at stores like Lush, so this reaction was unexpected. Ultimately, I have to caution others with sensitive skin to be mindful when trying Bath Junkie's products, and do a test patch prior to applying more widely to the skin. read more

Bath Junkie, almost sounds like I have a problem. I swear I don't. I do like however a nice hot bath. Bath Junkie is the place to find what you probably could use yourself or find a bath related gift. I was delighted that they do feature several Rinse brand products. Rinse I'm a big fan of, their products are hand made in Georgia. Not too many stores carry Rinse products so I had to indulge. Spending the day in Carmel and walking around I was not expecting to find a place like this but I'm sure glad I did. A great selection of products was only complimented by a friendly and knowledgeable staff to assist. I saw some products that I've seen before but I saw just as many that I can say I've never seen before. A specialty store done well. I wouldn't hesitate to come back to check out other unique products. read more

If you love roll on oils, lotions, and body washes then this is the place for you! Not only can you purchase different body care products, but you get to create your scent! This place is located near the new cake bake shop in Carmel, IN. When I walked in, I was greeted right away. I don't remember the name of both ladies who helped me, but they were so nice! They walked me around the store and showed me all the different products they had to offer. Then I smelled several different scents and came up with a good combination. I picked a body wash, lotion, and roll on oil. You get to choose what color you want your body wash and lotion to be. They can also add glitter which I had the lady add glitter to my body wash. My experience here was phenomenal and I can't wait to come back. I plan to use different scents this time! read more

What a neat place! I love the concept and I can't wait to bring my coworkers sometime to make our own product! But for today I just bought a gift; liquid Valium scented lotion and shower bombs. Both smelled incredible! The downfalls are that it's kind of hidden. I only knew where it was from going to Cake Bake. It is a pretty small area so it's hard to move around if there are too many people inside and I don't know if I particularly felt welcome by all the young girls working. But- I am impressed with the product and can't wait to see what my friend thinks when I give it to her! read more

Ok so I get anxiety when I go into a store and I don't know what the heck I'm doing so this is what you do here... they have a small selection of premade bath products. The main point is that you are picking out your own scrubs and lotion scents and colors. The staff is super helpful but just a heads up that if you want a scrub or a lotion, you will likely have to make your own. You can also mix and match scents! read more

Loved the store. Everyone was so kind and helpful. I'm hoping I can get things shipped to me when I need more. Thank you.

Stumbled upon this place as pop up store at HTC. Was very intrigued as had been to place similar while traveling in San Diego called Sinfulicious. I had never seen another place like it in all my travels. You can create any scent in many different bath products and sprays! I chose lavender and bamboo bath salts. The owner even asked what color I wanted added which of course did purple. Makes it pretty in container and doesn't change color of bath water. She told me the. Carmel store has many more scents to create products with so going to venture there soon. I used them tonight and had subtle scent so maybe would ask to be stronger next time but made my water super soft without any residual feeling once out. Will have to gift this for holiday for sure! Check them out if live relaxing baths. read more

Stopped by to get my wife a present for her to relax, Birthdays are always tough to buy for my wife. This store is Custom and unique. You can Custom build your scents and bath regimen for that lucky lady you care about. Let's face it, Moms do it all and have to keep calm, loving all of us kids in the family. Really all they need is time for themselves and that's what bath junkie caters too. Got her bath crystals to make the bath silky with lavender and lemon grass oil added. Along with a couple of other novelty items. A cucumber mud mask for 10 uses and fantastic customer service. You and I both know I'm winning because of this store. Try it, happy wife - happy life! read more

Bath Junkie is a super cute, locally owned shop that's perfect for when you need a small gift for someone or a pick-me-up for yourself. They have plenty of choices for bath products, from scrubs to lotions. Some of them come pre-made, but you also have the option to have the staff make it fresh on the spot. The coolest part is picking out your scent, which you can mix and match. When I came in the other day, I didn't have a mission. I ended up walking out with a custom made coffee scrub - caffeine is great for firming up skin - that I had been in the market for and had it mixed with a warm vanilla sugar scent. It smells like a delicious vanilla latte! I wouldn't say that this was the cheapest scrub that you can buy, but the freshness and quality is there. AND the price is comparable to other high quality coffee scrubs on Amazon, so this is a great way to support a local business. Side note: they currently have a Holiday 2020 pop up location at Hamilton Town Center. I look forward to seeing them expand even further! read more

Love this place!! Fun for the whole family and something for everyone. Over the years store has added more products and scents. Clean store and friendly, helpful staff. Would be perfect for a girls night out. Or even dare night. Offers kids parties. Never have been disappointed with a purchase. read more

Fantastic bath products - great quality ingredients and ability to create your own scents in their line of products is both fun and addictive! A great assortment of cute gifts as well read more

Had a bachelorette party here and it was fantastic! The ladies in the shop truely took care of us. We had a party of 8 for the scrub-a-dub-dub package (1 body mist, 1 salt scrub, 1 custom blend product, and 1 bath puffy). Being able to pick out your own scent was the best part and the most overwhelming part! With the 3 different products we could choose 3 different scents or keep them all the same. Once you pick a scent you also get to pick a color for each product. It was so nice they put our names and scents on each product. The owner was super nice and let us have our party after they closed so we had the whole store to ourselves. We were also able to bring food/drinks in with us. The scrub-a-dub-dub party took just under 2 hours. $30 each for 2 hours of good clean fun on a Saturday night is a pretty good deal to me. Will definately be back and recommending them for future activities! read more

I absolutely love this place. You get to pick the scent and color of your bath products. Making something for a special occasion has never been easier or more fun than going to Bath Junkie and creating something great that someone will appreciate so much because you made it! I like blackberry sage, basiloupe and white tea as an herbal blend. Great for the fabric softener. The staff is always tremendously helpful and friendly. Melissa is so funny and always has great new creations for people like me. If you're having a bridal shower, birthday, or any other event, they do fantastic parties as well. read more

Bath Junkie - I may in fact be a bath junkie...:) - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

I struggle with this review because I really like the idea of this place, and I want more places like this to succeed. I have fond memories of making my own perfumes with essential oils at a place in Fishers that's been out of business for twenty years or so. So I drove out of my way to give this place a try, since it's the only place in town that I know of where you can make your own scents. The store is beautiful, nice and open. It's located on the second floor of the building, and there is parking right out front if you want it. In addition to the bath products you can indeed make your own perfume using the scents you find right as you walk in the door. So I was excited and immediately started uncapping scents to try... And then, disappointment. Maybe it's the carrier oil they use, but nothing, not even the true essential oils, smelled right. Everything was muddled and slightly sweet. It wasn't just weak... the smells themselves were wrong. It was like smelling a candle that didn't quite get the smell right. The best example of this was when I picked up something that said "Colombian Coffee" and called the person working the store over because I thought the top cap had been switched with"Chocolate." She smelled it and then another coffee and said that the scent was correct, their coffee was just very chocolaty. Yeah, no joke. There was no coffee in there, or maybe it was just one of those horrible flavored coffees. Keep in mind that because I've done this before many times I know how orange and patchouli and verbena are supposed to smell. These were way off the mark. And I darn well know what coffee is supposed to smell like because I literally spilled coffee on myself fifteen minutes before walking in the store. I'm not against synthetic scents, either. I've made my own perfumes at a place in Castleton mall from synthetic scents, and they were great. Unfortunately, that place went out of business twenty years ago. Sensing a pattern? So if you're looking for a true make your own scent place and you are looking to get a certain effect with essential oils, don't waste your time here. I can't imagine being able to make a truly good signature scent out of the thirty or more scents (both essential oils and synthetic, of many different types) I smelled. It won't smell like perfume. If you're lucky you'll smell like weak potpourri. However, for parties and gifts and for most people just casually looking for something different they will probably love this place. Just be prepared to smell lots of things and leave any preconceived notions about how each scent is supposed to smell and you'll probably be fine. This place enables people to get a somewhat unique scent, while still treading on safe ground. So for that reason I give it three stars...but in my own book this place is one star at best, and not worth my time or money. read more

If you like over-priced bathroom supplies, this is your place. Cute stuff, but expensive as all get out. Also, BEWARE - THEY WON'T GIVE YOU A REFUND if you need to make a return. They will only give you store credit. They tried to explain it to me that its because a small business when all that does is make me want to shop at other places, big or small. read more

Lookout teenage girls! I am just as into this place as the standard twelve year old! Create your own sugar whip... duh! I took Blake here to de-stress one time and it worked miraculously. He picked his own blend, color, and even got a hand scrub.... what more could you want? They have such fun gift options for showers/ bachelorettes. Champagne bottle jammies, satin eye covers, shower steamers, bath bombs, and robes. Check them out next time you are shopping around! read more

Nice atmosphere! Great gift ideas! Very helpful staff. Great place for a baby shower, wedding shower, girls night out! Every scent you could want, color you could want and perfume, lotion or bath salts! You make the choices and personalize it all the way down to the label. Worth your time to visit. read more

My new favorite when passing through! This store is a must and I can't wait to share this hidden gem with my friends! Create your own unique blend to add to a variety of products. Melissa is so sweet, patient and helpful! read more

Can I give a place six stars? My sister and I went here for the first time several months ago and I totally fell in love. Bath Junkie is all about getting creative while coming up with a unique, personalized product to take home. When you come here (not if, when!), make sure you set aside a good amount of time to relax and have fun with it! When you come up with something you like, they'll even save your preferences so you can get the exact same thing later! I've seen that they do private parties here too, so of course that's got me thinking about bridal showers, birthday parties, baby showers, etc. :) read more

I attended a friend's birthday party where we all did the "Scrub-a-dub-dub" package. For $30, you get to make your own salt scrub, body spray, and specialty item (I chose the walnut face scrub). The staff is excellent at walking you through every step in the process, from sampling the oils/fragrances to making sure you are completely happy with the scent once formulated. (You can go back up to the counter to add more if you're not satisfied.) And you can BYOB, so it's the perfect setting. Be sure to plan for a couple of hours if your group is 10 or more people. I will definitely be going back for my refills. Even though it's alllllllll the way in Carmel. ;) read more

My boyfriend and I were wandering around Carmel for small business Saturday and stopped in. The place is almost better than Bath & Body works. The place was cozy, clean and lovely to look around. They have soaps, bath fizziers, lotion, bath salts and all are customizable with a variety of scents. I hope to stop by again for their moisturizer read more

Bath Junkie was so much fun! This shop offers custom bath products that can please anyone. Step 1- smell the plethora of scents. Pick 1, 2 or 3 scents that make a great combo. Step 2- pick out a product to make. We made shower gel, shave gel, smelly spray, and hand scrub. Step 3- pick a color (not everything has that option, but some do like the shower gel) Step 4- watch them mix it all together and smell your final product This is such a fun idea and we had a great time, but the projects that they offer are a little on the pricey side. If you are looking for a unique gift for a friend, this would be a great idea to do together. They also have parties for little girls. I love the products that I made and I will be sad when they are gone since I don't live close to make more. read more

I went in not knowing at ALL what to expect from my experience as I'd never been there. I'd been given a gift of body dessert in the past and wanted to see what the place was all about. I also needed a birthday gift for a friend of mine and wanted to get her something different. When I arrived, the owner greeted me, allowed me to try many of the products that they customize right there in the shop. Then I proceeded to have her make a custom scent (and color) of body dessert for my friend's birthday. She even labeled the bottle with my friend's name and the custom scent that I chose so she could go back and request the same scent when she runs out. Great product, great service and a very cute and unique shop! read more

I LOVE this place!!! You create your own bath products from scratch. You pick the scent and color of the bath product. There are so many different products to choose form: body gel, shower gel, exfoliating scrub, etc. They have so many scents its crazy! You can mix and match as many as you like until you get a scent that you want. The staff was extremely helpful and funny. They also have some amazing organic cloth bags that come with almost menthol/mint type "rocks" inside. They are so amazing to smell and extremely small to keep in your purse. They are sure to clear your sinuses right up :-D. Especially if you have crazy allergies like I do... VISIT THIS PLACE!! You will not be disappointed! read more

After trying to figure out something to do for a bridal shower it was suggested that we have a spa party at Bath Junkie and it was such a wonderful time. Melissa was so easy to work with and we were able to schedule our party of 8 with a weeks notice. When we arrived to the party Bath Junkie had a wonderful set up for us and we were able to bring in food and wine. The party flowed smoothly and Melissa and her crew were so helpful and hospitable. All the ladies at the party kept talking about how much fun they were having a we all left with two personal products that we loved. It was such a fun time and would be a blast to do again!! read more

The perfect place for a GNO, bridal shower, or just a fun shopping experience. The goal is to create your own scent using natural oils and adding it to the bath item of your choice. Options range from lotions, shampoo and conditioners, foot creams, bath salts, bubble baths, etc. The staff here is extremely helpful in assisting you in creating the perfect scent for you and there are TONS of scents to choose from. If trying to create your own scent is a little too overwhelming, or you would like some options to choose from, they do have a menu of various scent combinations. You can further customize your item by choosing a color; for kids there is the option of adding in bath toys and sparkles. The entire store is a fun experience that allows you to get in touch with your creative side and also offers additional merchandise such as sleep wear, candles, and household items. If you're in a hurry, they do offer pre-made bath items that are perfect for last minute gift. read more

This place is addictive. I just went for the second time last weekend with a girlfriend for her birthday. Think of it as Bath and Bodyworks on steroids. The quality of the products is wonderful, they're actually good for your skin versus the "other" place. It doesn't get any better than mixing and matching custom scents, plus a free hand treatment. Be prepared to spend a bit more, but it's worth it! Definitely recommend the salt scrub and body dessert! read more

I took the girl I am nannying here on a day trip and she had a BLAST! The women working were so kind and energetic, and made the experience far more fun. Making your own products with individualized scents and colors is more fun than you'd think. Yes, it is more pricey than anything you'd find at the drugstore/Sephora/Ulta most likely, but the fun is worth it! I made deodorant and my kid made a leave in conditioner. (They work great.) Definitely would recommend this! read more

This store smells divine! I enjoy creating my own fragrances in my bath products and creams. There nightwear is also wonderful!! The owner is committed to making you happy. I also have seen where brides and young girls have had parties in here and it really looks like a lot of fun. I highly recommend you visit the store. read more

I received a gift certificate and a small bottle of lotion for Christmas. I had never heard of this place. OMG it was amazing, I love the customizable lotions, scents, and bath salts. It is also so much fun, great for a ladies day out!! read more

I had the best scent made and I can't get enough of it. It's unlike any perfume I've had and I get a lot of compliments on it. It's the BEST

I live in Colorado and received my order in under a week. When I received it, there was a hand written thank you note from the owner as well as two additional free items because I had placed two separate orders, one after I found something else I wanted. The owner said they were because I had two separate transactions and had to pay two shipping and handling fees. How amazing! You don't get service like that anymore. I LOVE the products and will definitely order from Bath Junkie again in the future! read more

I took my granddaughter there for her birthday; she had also bought me some items for Christmas so it was a fun time for all! The staff were incredibly helpful and nice, and the products were great quality! The owner actually helped me decide on what products to by that would appeal to a 14 year old and another staff member helped up on our actual visit the next day. Couldn't have wished for a better experience! I will definitely be back to this store!!!! read more
