Came for a private bachelorette party and it was so much fun. I love being able to customize my scents and that it's all natural. I only use products that are cruelty free and not tested on animals so it was amazing to find a shop like this and learning I can order my custom scents and have them shipped to me. All of the stuff in the shop is super cute and I can't recommend it enough read more

We had an absolutely amazing time at our friend's bachelorette party! We booked a private event, and Dawn, who is also the owner, hosted us and made the entire night so special. You can truly tell how much love, passion, and care Dawn puts into her business. She was so welcoming, fun, and made sure everyone had a great time. She even included games for us, which made the experience that much more memorable! If you're looking for a fun, unique, and personalized experience for a celebration or special event, I highly recommend booking here. We had such a great time and would absolutely come back! read more

My friend booked her bachelorette party here. Dawn owner is amazing at hosting. She even had a couple of games for us. We got the store all to ourselves after close. We made body scrub, body, oil, bubble bath, and lotion. Everyone was extremely happy with the quality and the scents. I did a mix of peach/ orange blossom, aloe Vera/cactus flower, and chamomile/fern. I do recommend and will be back when I come visit Big Bear. read more

This is a very cute quaint shop in downtown Big Bear right in the main strip of The Village Shops. It's very well stocked with lotions, balms, scents, candles, and soaps. I tend to be sensitive to artificial scents, so I was a little hesitant at first, but despite the strong smells in the shop, I didn't get a headache. Most of the fragrances seemed to be from essential oils or other natural sources, which I really appreciated. Because of how cold and dry it is in Big Bear, I wanted to snag a lotion if they had one that I wouldn't react to. They have different bases and different options to add in a color or scent to the base. The options for scents are almost overwhelming! I purchased the Calendula & Comfrey lotion, and I just went with the original color and unscented, and I love it! It feels very nourishing on my skin without being greasy. I did like the little glass bottles with herbs like lavender or rosemary, as well as the organic arrowroot dry shampoo powder - if I come back soon (and I remember) I'll definitely grab some next time. It's a very cute shop! It has a wonderful selection of body care products, and everything feels thoughtfully made and nicely placed on display. read more

I have the need to express how much fun me and my friends had inside this shop!!! If you're in big bear you should definitely go make your own custom scents with friends, family, and or partner! She was so friendly and helpful when it came to choosing scents and allowed us to choose colors and if we wanted glitter. Her lotions and scrubs have done wonders for my skin, I definitely be reordering through the site! read more

I've never been to the physical store, but my friend Charlie introduced me to this brand, and I'm so glad he did! I ordered their products online and absolutely loved them. The face cream and eye cream are magical--my skin truly loves them. I've seen and felt such a difference, and I would highly recommend these products to all my friends. On my second order, there were a shipping hiccups--partly my fault because I shop a little too much and didn't check my order carefully until about two months later. Even so, the owner personally took care of the situation, which really meant a lot to me. That level of customer service made me an even bigger fan. I will definitely be spreading the word about this amazing business. Supporting local, small businesses like this one makes all the difference, and they truly deserve it! read more

When I first walked in, I was overwhelmed by a cornucopia of lovely, scented gels and soaps and perfumes and cologne, you name it! There's a little section where you can choose which scents you'd like to mix together to create your own. I didn't have the time to indulge in the experience, but I will come back when I do. Looking at the prices it didn't seem inexpensive, but I'll know more the value after I do it for myself. Shop owner was very friendly and helpful. read more

What a lovely shop! I cannot believe I have not been inside after all my trips to Big Bear. I was in heaven and you can go bananas. I love the friendly customers service. I got some supplies for my stay and oh my they were amazing. I will definitely go back. read more

We stopped here on our last day in town for NYE. I was kind of in a hurry, but managed to do a custom body oil and get some goat milk soap. I totally love both! The soap is hydrating and the oil scent lasts a long time! The customer service was friendly and helpful. read more

We came in just to browse and my goodness what a treat this place is! Dawn the owner is so friendly and the attention and guidance she gives on the custom scented lotions is unmatched Thank you for my amazing body cream, and creating my mother's a well! We will be back!!!! read more

Adorable and fun experience! So many different products to choose from, and creating your own scent is such a fun experience! So many different oil scents to choose from, and I found the price to be nice for the product you are receiving. I've purchased two custom 4oz hydrating body mists now. Only thing to note is I believe the hydrating mist base has a bit of a fresh powder smell, so take that into consideration when creating your scent if you get the hydrating body mist. Fun to do with friends also! read more

1st time we went last year, I would give her a 5 for her great customer service. We made body scrubs, mist, car diffusers and even got stuff made for our puppies. My girls wanted to do candle making and they weren't open so this was a great alternative and they had fun in the village. Came back again this year and girls wanted to make more scrubs and lotions, but the experience this time was the complete opposite. Owner was not friendly, uninviting and even though we said we came last year and I said girls wanted to come back to make more, they were trying to smell the scents. It was getting late so I said we we would come back in the morning to do it, but after I felt like her service was a little stand-offish I told them let's leave and we won't come back to support. So sad because the girls were really looking forward to it. read more

Fantastic experience! Dawn, the owner, was so helpful and kind. Everything was good quality. I made a perfume, a sugar scrub and bought a bar of soap. Wish I had one of these where I live! See you next time I'm up the mountain! -Joy read more

We stumbled across this shop for my best friend's bachelorette party, and I'm so glad we did! Dawn was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about the products in the store. She gave us a demo of their signature salt scrub, and told us how their product is made with superior ingredients that won't leave your skin feeling greasy like so many other salt scrubs. The highlight of the experience was being able to create our own scents and colors for the scrubs! We had a blast and loved getting to know Dawn and her story. What a wonderful business! read more

Just had the best time with my baby sister at the bath workshop! You've got to come in here-Dawn will custom make a scent for you if you can't think of one she will come up with one for you! (you won't believe this, but you can get vintage Victoria's Secret love spell smell, you can get some-scent that is hunky for your hubby! ) Run don't walk to this place so that you can get smelling good after you go for a run with all of your four-legged creatures. Dawn rocks at scents!! read more

The Bath Workshop - Hangin with my baby sis @ the bath workshop - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Big Bear Lake, California

Visiting for a family vacation. Stumbled upon this shop and purchased a bubble bath. The lady made a concoction with essential oils for our bubble bath that included lavender. It was simply divine. We chose an orange color. We got the smallest size which was $8.99 and half the bottle was enough for a large size bath. It didn't really make it orange. When you check in you get a free lip balm so be sure to check in! The lip balm was a green tea mix and it was heavenly. This is a cute small business to stop in and check out! read more

My wife and I initially came here to see if they sell smudge sage. We needed some to burn off bad energy left by our previous tenants at our rental property. They did not stock them, but the lady working here gave us several store suggestions in the area that might carry it. She was so friendly and helpful, I decided to buy something even though I really didn't need anything. Since this place has a pretty large selection of scents that you can mix and match to your preference, I decided to experiment with couple of different oils to use as an air freshener in our bathroom. My creation was a combination of pineapple scent and cucumber melon, which smelled sweet and refreshing. I also got a small glass bottle for the oil and oil diffuser sticks. Price wasn't too bad at about $15 for everything. I'm not really into these kinds of shops but I would return if I need a refill or want a new scent. read more

By far my favorite shop on the mountain. Referred by a holistic Dr./friend and I'm so thankful! Added to my skin care routine and finally found a fragrance I love! My own creation. Such a fun process! Dawn made the experience a fun memory too! Will be back on our trips here but in case I can order online! Call ahead they were only open Thursday--Sunday 10-5 read more

So amazing witnessing someone so passionate and sweet help you whip up the scent of your dreams! It was like meeting a very good, white witch. I can't wait to come back to big bear to get a new scent. All vegan products! read more

Really cute shop that we found while attending this year's Big Bear Wine Walk. It smells AMAZING and has really adorable items. We were able to get both personal items & a bunch of gifts. The staff is super helpful and kind - very warm & welcoming. They are dog-friendly and VERY reasonably priced. All of their products are vegan-friendly as well! We loved this shop & can't wait to revisit:) read more

Love this place! Perfect scent tailored for me, great advice, quality products. Highly recommend!

Dawn was so inviting! We had my bachelorette party here in big bear and made a stroll through own to explore and shop. We LOVED that you can make customized bath and body care items!!!! We all made massage oils and body scrubs! The scrubs were sooooo nice and didn't leave me feeling oily and slimy, which I LOVED. We will definitely be back to make more on our next trip! read more

This shop is heaven. They have so many different essential oils it's almost overwhelming. I went in with my sister and we spent about an hour making a custom scent. Then, the very patient woman at the counter mixed it into a bath scrub and lotion combination. I used it in my bath last night and my skin has never felt more soft-moisturized and smelled so good. Eat your heart out Lush, this place is even better! I will absolutely be back. read more

I stopped in while on holiday, as I always love these kinds of soap, beauty and self-care shops. The owner was very helpful and helped suggest an essential oil I should try for my stress/PMS. She made it up especially for me! I also got a couple of aromatherapy pouches, one for stress and one for my sinuses. Everything in there is pretty much homemade and the shop has a really cute, quirky vibe. I am fully vaxxed and forgot my mask at the hotel and the owner was wearing a mask and following the protocols. Anyway, when I got back I tried the essential oil and and I am much more relaxed in a physical, emotional and spiritual way. I would recommend this shop to anyone visiting Big Bear that loves self-care and wellness! read more

Dawn !!! Amazing customer service and the store is clean and so much fun!! She's so knowledgeable w all the oils and helpful w everything. Me and my sister were just looking and we ended up buying an oil spray !! Thanks DAwn stop by and see her! read more

Customer service was amazing - the woman working jumped right in to. Help me customize my scent. She mixed them on paper for me and made suggestions. I settled on a scent that is customized to me and then I picked the color Of my bubbles - so pampering Uh soy candles - this is a big deal to those asthma sufferers . read more

I love this place it was my first time going and I loved it instantly the body scrub that I created is wonderful I love The 2 scents That I combined turned out great and the cuticle oil is awesome as well. Not so many people are allowed in the store all at once everyone keeps their distance due to covid so that a plus as well I highly recommend this place. read more

Would go back to Big Bear literally just to go back. This place is amazing, I'm very pick on scented items, so I loved having control. The lady helping us(My mother and I) was lovely, explained how everything worked. Just a lovely experience all around, and for anyone who likes higher end products, knows that the prices are truly a steal, a little goes a LONG way. read more

I went to big bear for my friends bday weekend and spotted this shop while doing a scavenger hunt from an escape room. Obviously later that day we had to go back, and omg this place was super fun, and also very clean. Me and my friends had so much fun choosing our scents and let me say I am in love with mine I even had to go back online and buy their Shea butter lotion with the same scent I chose, cause yes they have an online shop! I have never been happier with a purchase. Very friendly staff. Another thing I loved is that this place is pet friendly so I didn't have to worry about leaving my dog outside. read more

I don't get up to Big Bear all that often but every time I do, I make it a point to stop here. The bath bombs are my absolute favorite! They all smell so good! The headache relief bath bomb is a miracle, I swear! read more

Love this place and looked forward to coming back since the last time I was here a year ago! As a LUSH addict I am not sorry to admit the bath bombs from The Bath Workshop in big Bear are 1000% better and half the price! I love Liquid Sunshine which smells just like it says...bright, cheerful and happy! The Headache Helper Bomb is also delightful. Last year she made me some Patchouli Lavender products and I love them all. Body spray, linen spray and lotion. She is awesome! read more

Btw I went back because I realized I didn't like one of the scents on my skin and Rachel was kind enough to adjust it for me without additional cost. She was very helpful! My boyfriend and I made our own scents and we are absolutely in love with them. I love this place! read more

Stopped by to get some products for our vacation trip - Our 1st visit to the store. Awesome store and so much fun. The guy (sorry did not get his name) was so helpful. Our son (12) had a blast mixing his own scents for some lotion. We tried and bought the scrub. It's fantastic. try it. At first I didn't want to but jumped right in. We bought some air freshener also with a beautiful scent mixed by our host, and body oil and shave lotion. You pick your own scents and color, if you wish. They also have suggested mixes for people like me who do not have the talent to put things together. We will definitely return. read more

Pretty much obsessed with this place. Every single trip to Big Bear, I stop here and get something new (or refill one of my favorites). Love the body scrub, lip exfoliator, smelly jelly, lotions, and especially the hydrating mist. The fragrance on the hydrating mist lasts longer than any of my expensive perfumes. There are so many different products to personalize that I'm always adding something new to my collection. And it's so much fun to make your own scent. They have a ton of suggestions (Dawn is great!!) and let you play around until you find your favorite. Kinda obsessed with my own personal creation: vanilla, plumeria and sugar plum. Yum! read more

Me and my boyfriend got lotion, after shave, and dog shampoo. The lady working there was so nice! and our products came out so good!!

I feel about aromas the same way a foodie feels about food. I usually avoid them since I know they are trouble for my wallet but how could I resist when we found out they were dog friendly! We had to go! And omg the salt scrub is TO DIE FOR. The perfect mix of moisturizing and exfoliating! The salt grain was perfect not so small it feels like nothing not too big so that it's ripping your skin off. And the essential oils oh my goodness they smell amazing. We got dog shampoo and mixed our own scent and it was the best shampoo ever! It smells amazing and it's a perfect consistency for bathing them. I had to try it out that same day!!! I wanted the whole store and the staff is über nice and patient. I was too overwhelmed to remember her name sorry! But I'm in trouble. I can't wait to go back!! Also, I get really bad hives on my face and their Blemish Balm nearly zapped them all in one application! Did I mention that unlike the organic puppy shampoo I usually use(the scent quickly dissipates), the custom made scent is amazingly rich, long lasting and just heavenly?! My house smells like a spa! This review is all over the place! But you should have seen me bouncing around in this nirvana of scent-ly delights. It might seem pricey but once you read the ingredients and compare those to bath and body works for example you realize you are actually getting more product and less filler. read more

I love love love this place! I make sure I have my cabin stocked up with her potty spray, oil defuser and room deodorizer. You pick the product and then she mixes the fragrance that you choose from her vast choices of oils. I have also personally used the deodorant, body scrubs, and baby shampoos for my little girl. I have absolutely loved them all. The customer service is outstanding! I'm only in the shop a few times a year and she always remembers me and what fragrances I like, it's pretty impressive! She also has a vast knowledge of the product and an help you pick fragrances that pair well together . Highly recommend this place! read more

Love this place! Better than bath and body works!! Store owner was so helpful! I can't wait to go back after pay day and stock up. Lotion is so much better than anything I've tried anywhere else. Quality fragrance quality lotion base. And the scrub is a Game changer! Frequenting there! Love it! Recommend it to all mommies looking for something to do with their kids!!! read more

My family and I had the BEST time making some custom candles in this shop. I've got three little kids (twin 5 year olds and a 3 year old) and the owner Paul helped them pick out their candle design, scent and walked them through every step of the candle-making process. My kiddos were enthralled. Such great customer service, the products themselves are fantastic, and an awesome place to create a lasting memory with your family. Go for a visit if you're in the village!! read more
