Meet Melted Snowman Botanical, a winter-inspired erupting botanicals kit that turns water into a magical, science-infused moment. With a shimmering white base that evokes fresh snowfall and snowman loose parts that melt away as you mix, this hands-on experience brings scent, color, and texture into one delightful activity. Real petals, plant and earth-based powders, and a sprinkle of sparkle fuse together to create a playful science moment you can see, feel, and share.

What makes Melted Snowman Botanical unique

  • Handcrafted plant-based magic — Each batch is lovingly hand mixed from plant-based ingredients, including real petals and earth-derived powders.
  • Winter wonder visuals — A base of shimmering white with snowman loose parts that erupt in color as you add water.
  • Eco-conscious packaging — Sold in 100ml or 200ml plastic tubs that are reusable and fully recyclable.
  • Authentic, variable colour — The handcrafted process means subtle colour variations; colours may stain surfaces—plan a washable play area.
  • Safe, supervised fizz — Designed for supervised play with fizzy chemistry (baking soda and citric acid) combined with plant-based botanicals.
  • Full ingredient transparency — Full ingredients listed on the tub or available from the seller; note it’s produced in a facility that may encounter traces of allergens such as wheat, dairy, celery, eggs, and nuts.

How it works

Just add water and watch the magic unfold. The fizz comes from a classic acid-base reaction using sodium hydrogen carbonate (baking soda) and citric acid, creating bubbles that lift the decorative petals and loose parts into a lively, melt-the-snowman scene. A touch of mica and glitter adds a sparkling finish, while the plant-based powders deliver subtle scent and color that shifts with every stir. Each experience is uniquely mesmerizing thanks to the natural, hand-mixed composition.

Quick start guide

  1. Open the tub and prepare a shallow dish or bowl.
  2. Pour a little water over the powder to start the fizz—watch it bubble and swirl.
  3. Stir with the included spatula, add more water to control the reaction, and arrange the loose parts to form your melted snowman tableau.
  4. Observe texture, color, and scent as the scene evolves; keep potions away from eyes and surfaces.

What’s inside and what you’ll need

The kit contains a base of plant-based botanicals, real petals, mica, glitter, and the fizzy components (sodium hydrogen carbonate and citric acid). It includes loose parts to decorate your scene, safety glasses, a spatula, and an empty mini bucket or coconut bowl if supplied with your kit, plus optional essential oil, Epsom salt, and fractionated coconut oil. A 100ml or 200ml plastic tub keeps everything organized and is designed for reuse and recycling. Colors may vary slightly due to the handcrafted process, and surfaces may stain—play on a washable mat or tray.

Safety, setup, and disposal

  • Adult supervision is required for all experiments involving fizzy mixtures containing acids and bases. Follow the included safety instructions and first-aid guidance.
  • Avoid contact with eyes. If eye contact occurs, rinse cautiously with water for several minutes and remove contact lenses if present.
  • Do not pour chemicals down the sink. Dispose of chemicals in accordance with local regulations.
  • Set up in a well-lit, ventilated area with a clear workspace and nearby water. Keep the area free from food and obstructions, and clean the area after play.
  • Allergen note: this product is made in a facility that may handle wheat, dairy, celery, eggs, and nuts; check the tub for full ingredient details if sensitivities are a concern.

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.
