Meet Erupting Botanicals Rose Surprise — a playful, plant-based science-and-sensory kit that turns ordinary water into a rosy fizzing spectacle. Housed in a reusable 100ml plastic tub, this carefully crafted blend blends rose petals, plant-based powders, and baking soda to create safe, kid-friendly eruptions that are as educational as they are mesmerizing.
What makes this kit stand out
- Hand-mixed botanical blend: Each batch is lovingly combined to deliver a unique, vibrant eruption every time.
- Rose-forward experience: Delicate rose petals impart a soft, floral aroma that enhances the hands-on experiment.
- Eco-conscious packaging: 100ml tub is reusable and fully recyclable, designed with sustainability in mind.
- Color and texture variety: Expect subtle colour shifts between batches, a natural part of the artisan process.
- Plant-based and kid-friendly ingredients: Includes baking soda (sodium hydrogen carbonate), citric acid, and other gentle components to spark a fizzing reaction safely under supervision.
- Allergen reminder: This product is made in a facility where contact with common allergens (wheat, dairy, celery, eggs, nuts) is possible; plan accordingly for sensitive users.
Inside the kit you’ll find a thoughtful mix of components designed to spark curiosity and safe experimentation. The formulation includes Citric Acid, Glitter, Dried Petals, Mica, Water, Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate, loose accessories, safety glasses, a spatula, an empty mini bucket or coconut bowl if included with your kit, essential oil, Epsom salt, and fractionated coconut oil. Also included are practical items like a dish or bowl (if not supplied with your chosen kit) and clear safety instructions for supervising adults.
How it works and practical use
- Place the 100ml tub on a stable, well-lit surface away from food and other obstructions.
- Under adult supervision, add a small amount of water and watch the fizzing action begin as the citric acid and baking soda react to release bubbles and color.
- Observe the petals, mica, and glitter swirl as the potion erupts, creating a safe, sensory science moment.
- Follow the included instructions for each experiment, and dispose of chemicals responsibly—do not pour down the sink.
Safety and supervision you can rely on
- Adult supervision is required for fizzy mixtures containing acids and bases.
- Keep the working area clear, well-ventilated, and close to a water supply; wear protective gear as advised and keep away from food preparation zones.
- In case of eye contact, rinse cautiously with water for several minutes and seek medical advice if irritation persists.
- Store the tub and all components in a cool, dry place and dispose of chemicals per national regulations.
Who is this for and how it helps
Erupting Botanicals Rose Surprise is ideal for curious families, budding scientists, and DIY learning activities where hands-on exploration meets playful artistry. It’s more than a bath-time treat — it’s a mini chemistry lesson that invites questions like: Why does mixing citric acid and baking soda create bubbles? How do pigments and petals interact with the fizz? And how can we safely manage and observe a chemical reaction in a controlled setting?
Why choose Erupting Botanicals Rose Surprise over similar kits

We Have Lots More Like This.........
Hello, we are Sostter....
Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?
We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect. Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience.
Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently. Explore our British makers, discover sustainable brands, browse women-led businesses, find the perfect gift for her, or simply wander through our new arrivals and see what finds you.
This is just the beginning. But enough about us — read all about us, or step inside and see what catches your imagination.
