Relaxing Homemade Bubble Bath Recipe

Do you wish for a bubble bath like the one Harry Potter sank into with different colors of warm water pouring from huge faucets into the tub? We wonder if the water was colored because they had essential oils mixed in them.

Refreshing Ingredients used in this Bubble Bath

This bubble bath recipe contains natural and toxin-free ingredients and no chemicals, such as liquid unscented castile soap. Castile soap is safe for babies, pets, and people with sensitive skin or skin conditions.

It can produce high-foaming lather without health risks due to its rich oil content. So, there’s no need to worry if you had problems using commercial products.

Another ingredient in this bubble bath is the vegetable glycerin, also called as glycerol. It is made from soybean, coconut, or palm oil. It is 100 % organic and can be used on sensitive skin.

It is considered a humectant as it attracts moisture and stores it in your skin, preventing dry skin, wrinkles, and fine lines. It is a great ingredient to treat oily skin and acne.

This bubble bath also uses lavender essential oil, which has the ability to eliminate nervous tension, relieve pain, and increase blood circulation. Lavender’s Latin name is lavare, which also means “to wash,” which tells about its ability to wash your stress off and relax you mentally and physically. It is also an alternative treatment for insomnia.

Rose water is also to be used in this bubble bath. It is a great cleanser that can remove the oil and dirt that clog the pores of your skin.

Both lavender essential oil and rose water have anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce skin irritation and get rid of acne and other skin conditions such as dermatitis and eczema.
