Taking a bubble bath can be a fun treat for kids, or part of a relaxing nighttime ritual for adults. However, most store bought bubble baths are full of artificial chemicals, fragrances and can be irritating to your skin. To reduce the chemicals in your home, but still enjoy the benefits of all the bubbles, I recommend making your own bubble bath with essential oils and other ingredients that are gentle on your skin.

While you could add essential oil directly to your bath, essential oils are not water soluble, meaning they won't dissolve in water alone and will sit on top of your bathwater. To resolve this issue, you would normally add essential oils to epsom salt or soap and add it to the water. In this case, the other ingredients in my DIY bubble bath help disperse the oil throughout the water in the same way.

Including an essential oil in your bath is a great choice when you want to create a specific atmosphere. For example, for a relaxing bath, use...
