 you've heard the saying 'they are like oil and water' no truer words can be spoken when it comes to throwing straight essentials oils into your bath water they just don't mix which can become a problem for your skin excerpt from Tisserand Institute " do not put drops of essential oil into a bath and then step into it. Essential oils do not mix with water, they float in tiny droplets on the surface, and you are about to sit on those droplets of undiluted essential oil. Whenever essential oils are ‘mixed’ with water without a dispersing agent, there is a risk of irritation, since undiluted droplets of essential oil attach to the skin, often in sensitive areas. Because the oils are warmed up by the water, and also cannot evaporate, they often sting like crazy. Therefore, essential oils always need to be fully dispersed in and appropriate base before being added to a bath." SAFE TIPS FOR BATHING WITH ESSENTIAL OILS THESE CARRIERS ARE NOT SAFE TO USE IN YOUR BATHthese 8 substances are water soluble, so when you put them in your bath with your essential oil, they readily dissolve and become one with the water, leaving your essential oils all alone to hang out on the surface of the water causing havoc on your skin.
USE OILS AS A CARRIER - Essential oils can be safely added to oils (olive, sunflower, hemp, grapeseed) properly diluted (5 to 7 drops in a Tbsp. will do), if thoroughly mixed. These oils work well to safely dilute and ‘carry’ essential oils. this does make for a pretty slippery, greasy bath experience so be very careful when getting out.

 How I make my purchasing decisions when it comes to essential oils RED FLAGS
The biggest red flag is when a company states their product is a special “therapeutic grade” superior to all other brands. There are no ‘grades’ of oils and by definition all are therapeutic. Excerpts from…The Quality of Essential Oils By Jade Shutes, BA, Dipl. AT., Cert. Herbalist The truth is that there is no such thing as ʻtherapeutic gradeʼ A grading system, quite simply, does not exist for essential oils. It is a product of marketing and marketing alone. CERTIFIED PURE THERAPEUTIC GRADE: is a trademark by a multi-level marketing company DoTERRA. It gives the appearance of being approved by some kind of higher authority and it has been said that the company states it is a FDA approved to use this label. According to Elston (2009), “This registered word mark has not been provided to them by the FDA as they claim and is meaningless in proving that an outside certifying body has declared or designated that DoTERRAʼs essential oils are certified pure therapeutic grade. DoTERRA, LLC owns the right to exclusive use of the mark (however not the exclusive right to the actual words “Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade” which is revealing) This seal or word mark is nothing more than a commercial trademark that they have registered and paid a fee for”. |
