Canopy Bath Tub Filter
What is a bathtub filter, you may ask? Well, just like its showerhead cousin, the faucet helps filter out chlorine and other harsh irritants that may be negatively affecting your skin, for a healthier bathtime routine. And with this particular tub filter from Canopy, they can add a few drops of aroma oil for a soothing, spa-like experience.

It might sound superfluous, but this body oil has changed both my skin and life for the better, thanks to its extremely nourishing, natural ingredients.
