BARTH to Release 'RELAX Chamomile CitrusFog' Neutral Bicarbonate Bath Salts on August 21, 2026

The neutral bicarbonate bath salts from BARTH, a night wellness brand proposing elevated night routines from bath time to sleep time, are designed to enhance blood circulation and promote fatigue recovery through the 'bicarbonate ions' contained in the water. Building on these benefits, BARTH will launch a new scent, 'Chamomile CitrusFog,' in the 'BARTH FOR RELAX' series on August 21, 2026.

Ahead of the launch, the product will be available for pre-sale at Loft stores nationwide, the Loft Net Store, and the BARTH official web store starting August 5, 2026.

Developed in collaboration with professional perfumers, the original 'Chamomile CitrusFog' scent uses a balanced blend of 12 natural essential oils, including bergamot and chamomile. The fragrance is meticulously designed for bedtime, enveloping the user like a soft fog with its natural, sophisticated chamomile-citrus profile. This new offering provides a '15-minute relaxation experience' that eases the mind, supported by the high warm-bath effect and fatigue-recovery function provided by the bicarbonate ions.

Background of Development Since the 2017 launch of the flagship 'Medicinal BARTH Neutral Bicarbonate Bath Salts,' the product has garnered significant popularity through word-of-mouth on social media. Responding to customer requests for scented options, the 'BARTH FOR RELAX' series was created after five years of research to balance functional fatigue recovery with optimal relaxation aromas. Following the successful launch of the first scent, 'Lavender Fog,' in 2025, 'Chamomile CitrusFog' arrives as the second installment.

Fragrance and Formulation Design Inspired by the rare 'neutral bicarbonate springs' of Germany, the product uses proprietary technology to keep bicarbonate ions dissolved in the water at high concentrations for extended periods.

1. 'Chamomile CitrusFog' Fragrance: A calming blend of 12 natural essential oils including bergamot and chamomile, designed to gently uplift the mood. 2. Rich Bicarbonate Ions: The formula maintains a neutral pH, ensuring ions stay active for prolonged benefits. 3. Chlorine Removal: Contains L-glutamic acid sodium to remove chlorine from tap water, creating soft, skin-friendly water suitable for those with sensitive skin or children.

Product Lineup BARTH currently offers four types of bath tablets: the original fragrance-free 'Medicinal BARTH,' the beauty-focused 'BARTH BEAUTY' with collagen and hyaluronic acid, and the 'BARTH FOR RELAX' scented series (Lavender Fog and Chamomile CitrusFog). These options cater to different daily conditions and moods. To celebrate the release, a special trial set covering all four varieties will also be available.
