Description
Bathclin Kikiyu Cool Carbonated Bath Mint 360 g — Japanese Quasi-Drug Bath Additive
Overview
きき湯 清涼炭酸湯 すっきりミントの香り is the summer, cooling member of Bathclin's Kikiyu range: fizzing granules that dissolve carbon dioxide and mineral salts into the bath, finished with a mint scent so you step out feeling cool rather than flushed. In Japan it is a 医薬部外品 — a quasi-drug — sold under the approved name きき湯冷泉, which means its four active ingredients and its list of approved indications are registered with the Japanese authorities rather than written by a marketing team.

Key Benefits
- Four registered active ingredients: sodium bicarbonate, alum, sodium carbonate and dried sodium sulfate
- Quasi-drug (医薬部外品) approved in Japan under the sales name きき湯冷泉 — the indication list below is the approved one, not our wording
- Carbonated granules turn the water mint blue and clear, with a crisp mint scent
- The mint and cooling scent are what make this the summer variant: the soak is still warm, the after-feel is cool
- 360 g bottle at the standard 30 g dose is about 12 baths
- Bathclin states it may be used when bathing together with a baby of three months or older

Who Is This For?
- You still want a real soak in summer but do not want to come out of the bath hot
- You are looking for a Japanese carbonated bath additive with declared actives rather than a scented bath bomb
- You bathe with a baby of three months or older — Bathclin states this product may be used then
- You do not have a skin condition or constitutional problem that needs a doctor's opinion first; Bathclin asks that you consult one if you do
- You are not looking for a fragrance-free product — this one is mint scented
How to Use
- Run the bath as usual — a standard Japanese tub is about 150 to 200 litres.
- Measure 30 g of granules and add them to the running or filled tub.
- Stir briefly and let the granules fizz and dissolve; the water turns a clear mint blue.
- Soak as you normally would. The bath itself is warm; the cool feeling arrives afterwards, on the skin.
- Leftover bathwater may be used for laundry, but rinse and soak cycles must use fresh water.
Frequency: As often as you bathe; one 30 g dose per bath.
Full Ingredients
Active ingredients: sodium bicarbonate (炭酸水素Na), alum (ミョウバン), sodium carbonate (炭酸Na), dried sodium sulfate (乾燥硫酸ナトリウム).
These four are the actives registered for this quasi-drug. The remaining components — the carbonation system, the mint fragrance, the colourant and the cooling agent — are printed on the bottle in Japanese. If you need the complete list before ordering, write to us and we will photograph the panel of the bottle we are shipping rather than quote a list from another lot.
Cautions
- Bathclin: if you have a skin condition or a constitutional sensitivity, consult a doctor before use.
- Bathclin: if a rash, redness, itching or a stinging sensation appears during or after use, stop using the product and consult a dermatologist.
- Bathclin: this product is not food. If a large amount is swallowed, give water and consult a doctor.
- Bathclin: when bathwater containing a bath additive is reheated by a tub's reheating system, dirt from the pipes or boiler may very occasionally be released.
- Bathclin: leftover bathwater may be used for laundry, but rinsing and soaking must be done with clean water. Do not use it on fabrics that have been heavily softened, or on new or precious garments — they may take up colour.
- Bathclin states the product may be used when bathing with a baby of three months or older.
- This is a mint, cooling formula. Keep the water and the granules away from the eyes, and take care on skin that is broken, sunburnt or freshly shaved.
- The indications listed above are those approved for this product in Japan. They are a Japanese regulatory classification and are not a medical claim in your country. Nothing here replaces advice from your doctor.
- Keep out of the reach of children. Close the bottle after use and store away from heat and humidity.
Package Contents

FAQ
Is this a medicine?
No. In Japan it is a 医薬部外品, a quasi-drug — a category between cosmetics and medicines, with registered actives and a registered indication list. That registration is Japanese. It is not a marketing authorisation in your country and it is not medical advice.
Can I use it when bathing with my baby?
Bathclin states the product may be used when bathing together with a baby of three months or older. As with any bath additive, keep the water out of the baby's eyes and mouth.
Will the mint make the bath cold?
No. The water is as warm as you run it. The menthol and cooling scent act on the skin, so the after-feel is cool rather than flushed — that is the whole point of the 清涼 summer variant.
How many baths do I get from one bottle?
About twelve. The standard dose is 30 g per bath and the bottle holds 360 g.
Can I use the leftover water for laundry?
Bathclin says yes for the wash, but rinse and soak with clean water. Avoid heavily fabric-softened items and anything new or precious, as they can take up colour.
