How to Make Lavender Bubble Bath

Lavender is used in massage oils and by aromatherapists to help calm and relax their clients. You can now create your own healing and relaxing lavender bubble bath right in your own kitchen. There are many types of bubble bath available in your local department store, but making your own bubble bath ensures that it is economical and Earth-friendly. Read on to learn how to make lavender bubble bath.

Things You'll Need

• Distilled water
• Large measuring cup with pour spout
• Liquid castile soap (unscented)
• Liquid glycerin
• Lavender essential oil
• Clean plastic bottle with tight fitting lid

Instructions

1. Measure 4 cups of distilled water in a measuring cup with a pour spout. You may also use a bowl and funnel.

2. Add 1 cup of unscented liquid castile soap to the measuring cup. Castile soap is the bubbling agent in your lavender bubble bath, but it is also an effective natural moisturizer. Made up from 100 percent olive oil, castile soap is a gentle and natural cleanser that will leave your skin silky smooth.

3. Place 1 1/2 oz. of liquid glycerin into the cup. Glycerin is a natural by-product of soap making and is a gentle moisturizer. Not only will it leave your skin feeling soft and nourished, it is also a fixative agent that will ensure your lavender bubble bath retains its healing aroma for as long as possible.

4. Stir in three drops of lavender essential oil and mix the ingredients well. Carefully pour your lavender bubble bath into a clean plastic bottle with a tight fitting lid. To use, shake the bottle gently and pour about one quarter of the contents under hot running water. Soak and enjoy your healing bubble bath.
