How to use essential oils in your bath?

The beautiful smells and impressive properties of essential oils make them a good candidate to enhance our baths and showers. But unfortunately, they are insoluble in water, and it is therefore not recommended to use them alone, without solvent. The two easiest ways to use them are to mix them with a bath salt (like the salt of the dead sea), or to dilute them in a shower gel or shampoo before using them.

Enhance your shower gel with essential oils

Your shower gels and shampoos will mix well with essential oils, thanks to the surfactants they contain. However, be careful to use good quality products, with the most natural bases possible. Be also careful with the dosage: if you put too much essential oil, you risk to dephase your shower-shampoo gel. Essential oils are powerful, a few drops are enough for a whole bottle! Here are some recipes given as examples.
