Inspired by the smells, sounds, and imagery found in nature, Solstice attempts to re-create a soothing natural environment in the comfort of one's own bathtub.
Bringing the Outdoors In
Being in nature soothes, heals and restores, but not everyone has the luxury or time to explore the great outdoors. These aromatherapy bath products are thus designed to provide a mini getaway when you need it the most, encouraging the individual to take the time to pamper themselves, without having to leave the house.
Scents Inspired by Canadian Landscape
The Solstice Aromatic Bath Box comes in two unique scent themes: Forest Dweller, inspired by the lush greenery of British Columbia and Lost at Sea, inspired by the crisp and airy beaches of Newfoundland. Every aspect of the kit was designed to visually generate the feeling of a “breath of fresh air,” as if the individual had just stepped outdoors after being confined to an indoor space all day.

Design Strategy
The design of the kits is kept neutral so that anyone can see this product as something made for them, regardless of gender. By keeping the type simple, the colours muted, and focusing the imagery on elements in nature, the bath kit can appeal to a wider audience, promoting personal wellness for all.
Postcards & Second Uses
The box utilizes a simple cardstock insert to hold the bottles in place, which can later be removed turning the box into a versatile storage bin. The idea to create Solstice arose from a love of travel across the country, so postcards featuring photography of Canadian landscape are included as an additional visual piece to enhance the bath and product experience. The lid of the box doubles as a picture frame for the postcards.
