Magic Potions
Mud Mates sells Get Messy Magic Potions. These products are handmade and may contain allergens, including but not limited to: gluten, bicarbonate soda, citric acid, salt, food colouring, vinegar, and essential oils. Due to the potential for cross-contamination, we cannot guarantee they are allergen-free. 

To keep your potions fresh, store them in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Prolonged exposure to heat, air, or light may affect their quality.

Some potions contain natural oils or dyes which may stain clothing, carpet, furniture, or other surfaces. We recommend using them on a protected surface and removing any residue after play. While most marks wash out easily, Mud Mates is not responsible for any staining or damage caused by product use.

Please note: Use under adult supervision. Mud Mates takes no responsibility for any damage or injury caused through use of the potions.
