Gentle dechlorination for skin after swimming

This spray is not meant to replace a shower but is a great quick fix when you can’t rinse right away.

We love making oobleck at home. It’s part science experiment, part sensory play, and 100% fun. Oobleck is a non-Newtonian fluid—it acts like a liquid when you pour it slowly, but feels solid when you punch or squeeze it. It's an amazing hands-on way for kids to explore textures, pressure, and cause-and-effect.
Important Cleanup Tip: Do not pour oobleck down the drain—it can clog pipes. Instead, throw it in the trash once it dries or scoop it into a compostable bag.
Perfect for summer hikes and evenings outdoors.
