Set sail on a tide-pool of imagination with the Exploration Ocean Potion Kit. This hands-on, underwater-inspired science experience invites curious minds to mix, fizz, and watch a magical ocean bloom right in your own home. With plant-based erupting botanicals, glittering seas, and a dash of dragon-blood water, every pour becomes a tiny maritime adventure you can see, hear, and feel.
What’s inside the kit
- Coral Reef — shells and rock salts that create a coastlines-meets-sea-sky color palette.
- Shoreline Dust — sand, bio glitter, shell fragments, and mint leaves for a sparkling, sea-scented swirl.
- Wooden Scoop — the perfect tool to measure and stir as your potion evolves.
- Volcanic Bedrock — popping candy, glitter, and dried leaves for dramatic effervescence and texture.
- Seabed Fizz — sodium bicarbonate, citric acid, and bio glitter for fizzing action and bright color.
- Crushed Seaweed — mint to add a fresh, oceanic note and a tactile twist.
- Seafoam Waters — bio glitter and mica to conjure shimmering, foamy waves.
Every botanical is lovingly hand-mixed and crafted from plant-based ingredients. Color variations may occur naturally due to the crafting process, but the magic remains consistently engaging for little scientists.
Why this kit stands out
The Exploration Ocean Potion Kit goes beyond simple mixing. It combines theatrical fizz, tactile textures, and imaginative storytelling to foster curiosity about chemistry and natural materials. The “erupting” effect is powered by-safe, kid-friendly fizzing components that reveal immediate, sensory feedback—perfect for budding scientists who want to see real-time results.
How it works
- Pour water into a pot or bowl.
- Add the dry ingredients from the kit, following the simple prompts on the instructions.
- Stir with the wooden scoop and drizzle in a dash of dragon blood water to trigger the eruption.
- Watch the mixture fizz, swirl, and reveal shimmering colors and textures as you imagine an underwater world coming to life.
Just add water and watch the magic unfold. The included components are designed for safe play under adult supervision. Please supervise all fizzing activities and keep the workspace well lit, ventilated, and free of food nearby. Avoid contact with eyes, and dispose of chemicals responsibly in accordance with local regulations.
Safety, care, and what to know before you play
The kit is crafted to be engaging and responsible, but it contains chemicals that can be harmful if used improperly. Adult supervision is essential for any fizzy mixtures, especially those involving acids and bases. Keep the experiment area clear of obstructions, provide proper eye protection for supervising adults, and follow the safety rules and first aid information provided with the kit. The kit may be produced in a facility that handles common allergens (such as wheat, dairy, celery, eggs, and nuts); if allergies are a concern, supervise accordingly and review the ingredient list before use. Do not pour leftover mixtures down the sink, and dispose of chemicals in line with national guidelines.
What you’ll need beyond the kit (if not already provided with your order) includes a dish or bowl and a steady workspace. The kit may include safety glasses and a spatula, and some bundles offer an empty mini bucket or coconut bowl for easier handling. Optional extras such as essential oil, Epsom salt, and fractionated coconut oil are sometimes part of the broader set for enhanced aroma and texture—check your specific package contents when you open your box.
Who it’s ideal for
Perfect for curious kids who love oceans, science, and hands-on projects. It’s equally suited to at-home science explorations, rainy-day activities, or themed learning units about sea life and chemistry. Great for families that value tactile play, sensory exploration, and storytelling through color and fizz.
Practical tips for the best experience
- Prepare a dedicated, washable surface and a shallow tray to catch splashes and spills.
- Invite kids to narrate the “story” of their ocean—the creatures, currents, and colors they imagine as the potion erupts.
- Experiment with small adjustments—different water amounts or additional drops of dragon blood water—to see how the eruption changes.
- Store leftovers in a dry place and reseal any containers to preserve scent and color for future sessions.
With the Exploration Ocean Potion Kit, science meets storytelling in a sparkly, splashy splash that kids remember long after the last bubble pops. It’s more than a activity—it’s a mini ocean expedition you can recreate, again and again, in the comfort of your home.

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.
