Lush’s Saltburn-themed bath bomb goes all in on suggesting you lick some bathwater
As the Dune 2 popcorn bucket and the Talk to Me smoking bowlprove, movie tie-in products are getting more and more ridiculous in the best way. Cosmetic retailer Lush has released a limited-edition bath bomb for U.K. shoppers only (sorry, Americans) called “Saltbomb.” It’s clearly inspired by Emerald Fennell’s evocative Saltburn, a black comedy psychological thriller that’s gone viral over its unhinged acts of sexual yearning. In particular, the Saltbomb is meant to evoke onevivid scene involving used bathwater.

In the Saltburn scene that’s made the most waves, Oxford scholarship student Oliver (Barry Keoghan) surreptitiously spies on his rich best friend Felix (Priscilla’s Jacob Elordi), who’s masturbating in a bath. Once Felix dries off and leaves, Oliver climbs into the bathtub, crouching down and lapping the remaining semen-infused bathwater from around the drain. And he really gets in there, running his tongue around the crevice of the drain and moaning in ecstasy.
Lush’s bath bomb shows no sign that it’s an official collaboration, but the connection is open and obvious, from the product’s name to the tagline: “Come and relax, or vice versa.”
And then there’s the product description:
