Oils in bath water
Do not add undiluted essential oils to bath water. Using a bath gel base for all oils applied to your bath is an excellent way to disperse the oils into the bath Water. When undiluted oils are put directly into bath water without a dispersing agent, they can cause serious discomfort, as in a burning sensation, on sensitive skin because the essential oils float, undiluted, on the top of water.
