Lavender and Lemongrass Bubble Bath Recipe

In a recent newsletter that I received from The Mountain Rose Blog included a lot of great recipes including this one for Lavender and Lemongrass Bubble Bath. It is mentioned that homemade bubble bath is not as bubbly as commercial varieties and the suds don’t last very long, but it is completely natural and is so much gentler on the skin. Bathing in the aroma of Lemongrass and Lavender is refreshing and sure to lift the spirits! This blend is perfect for all ages.  I just got some Lemongrass EO in my goody bag from The Nova Studio anniversary party and I will have to try it in this recipe.  Make sure to check out Mountain Rose's blog.

• 1/2 cup liquid Castille Soap
• 1 TBSP liquid Vegetable Glycerin
• 1 TBSP Epsom salt
• 1 tsp. organic Jojoba oil
• 30 drops organic Lavender essential oil
• 10 drops organic Lemongrass essential oil

Mix all ingredients together and pour directly into running water.

Creamsicle Bath

Ingredients:

2 drops essential oil of sweet orange
2 drops essential oil of vanilla oleoresin
Add essential oils to a tub full of warm water and mix well.

NOTE:
Children are always destined for a warm bath. They are also very much in tune to the sense of smell, so combinations of pure essential oils are an effective and fun way of enticing them into the tub.

These recipes are great evening bath blends that help an active child unwind. A follow-up massage can be a great opportunity to spend quality time with a child and a wonderful way to show you care and are there to listen. A parent's caring touch is an oasis in an often challenging world.

CAUTION:
Always exercise caution when using essential oils with children. Stick to mild oils and remember, less is best. Make sure the oils are well diluted in the water and that the water is the proper temperature. Improper dilution can result in skin irritation, especially with the citrus oils, so resist the urge to use just a little more.

Children must always be supervised when using pure essential oils, and never allowed to make their own bath without guidance.
