    Learn More About Bath Oils

    Bath oils are a variation on soap designed to nourish and hydrate the skin, transforming an everyday bath into a luxurious and relaxing spa-like experience. These oils are often made from essential oils, carrier oils, and other skin-loving ingredients that aim to improve skin health, calm the senses, and create a soothing environment. Depending on the essential oils used, a bath oil can be uplifting, calming, energizing, or even help with certain skin conditions.

    Bath oils and bath beads with oil often incorporate a variety of ingredients, each selected for their unique benefits to the skin and senses. Here are some of the most popular ingredients found in these oils for the bath:


    • Essential oils: These fragrant essences extracted from plants are known for their aromatherapy. Essential oils can have a variety of effects, from relaxing to energizing. Lavender, chamomile, rose, and eucalyptus are some commonly used essential oils in bath oils.
    • Carrier oils: These are the base oils that "carry" the essential oils, allowing them to be properly diluted and safe for use on the skin. They also have their own beneficial properties. Jojoba oil, almond oil, coconut oil, and grape seed oil are some examples. They are all rich in vitamins and antioxidants and have excellent skin-nourishing properties.
    • Vitamin E: Often added for its antioxidant properties, Vitamin E can help nourish and protect the skin, and it also extends the shelf life of the bath oil by preventing the oils from oxidizing.
    • Herbs and botanicals: Some bath oils include herbs and botanical extracts for their therapeutic properties and to add visual appeal. Examples include rose petals, lavender buds, and chamomile flowers.

    Using bath oils is a straightforward process; simply add the recommended amount of bath oil to warm running water. The oil will disperse in the water, turning your bath into a skin-nourishing soak. If you're using bath oil beads, you can add a handful of beads to your bath water and allow them to dissolve.


    While in the bath, it's beneficial to gently massage your skin to promote better absorption of the oil. Once your bath is finished, pat your skin dry instead of rubbing to maintain the layer of nourishing oil on your skin.
