Bubble bath/bath oil recommendations

[taybert]

I’m looking for something really nice to put in my bath. I’ve just finished a bottle of espa bubble bath and have had Neom in the past. I like essential oil type fragrances and would like something relaxing. I wondered if anyone had any recommendations for a really nice product before I buy one I’ve had before.

Bamford oil is lovely.

I'm also a Neom lover.

Susanne Kaufmann also worth a look.

Oh, and Aromatherapy Associates.

Has to be Aromatherapy Associates (Deep relax is my ultimate favourite!) but love them all.

Thank you! I’d seen aromatherapy associates and wasn’t sure what it was like, but they do look nice.

Neom is lovely, the sleep one and de stress I think.

Another vote for Aromatherapy Associates - I alternate between that, one from Tisserand (I get it in Waitrose) and one from the Rituals range

I like aromatherapy associates but you'd be better just buying a bottle of neroli essential oil, (or any others but I got this for Christmas & currently burning through our house), and some Himalayan salts & throw them in. Therapie salts lovely but again, diy is cheaper!

Mio liquid yoga! Smells and feels amazing.

Old school treat - Fenjal oil. Or for bubbles (esp in winter) Badedas. Not trendy, but oh so lovely.

Kneip bath oils are nice. They’re German I think and been around for years and not too pricey. You can buy a gift box with a complete set of them to try. I’ve bought in independent chemists and also on Amazon.

Thanks everyone! I’m tempted by the idea of blending my own but not sure where to start. It also feels like a bit more of a treat when it comes in a lovely bottle and you splosh a bit in but I accept that’s a bit shallow.

I don’t think it’s a shallow thing to say. Aromatherapy associates bath oils are pure luxury, the bottles are lovely & as you only need 1 capful they last ages. You won’t be disappointed. Happy bathing 😀

I like Fenjal too. Neal’s Yard aromatic bath is lovely as well.

My favourite is Tisserand Muscle Ease with ginger, rosemary and lemongrass

Or Senspa detox bath salts (citrusy).

Most of the time I just use Epsom salts with a couple of selected drops of essential oils (cedar, lavender, eucalyptus, sandalwood etc depending on mood)

Ren Moroccan Rose Otto Bath Oil is gorgeous.

Seconding the Kneipp recommendation. They are gorgeous and your house will smell divine.

Aromatherapy Assosciates! My bathroom smells beautiful after using the oil in a bath. I received a box with ten mini ones for Christmas and definitely plan to buy a full sized one.

I like both! I used a full little bottle of the aromatherapy associates last night in my bath & it wasn't enough of a smell for me, though I have a bit of a cold.

When I do homemade, I buy a big bag of the Himalayan pink salts & fill a big kilner jar, then mix salts with all the essential oils in a big bowl before filling the kilner jar with the smelly salts. I find the salts help me relax but often put in just a bit of bubbles with a good handful of the smellies 😁

They actually sell the Kneipp oils in one of our local shops (weird, there aren’t many shops!) I might give them a go whilst deciding if I want to fork out for the aromatherapy associates one.

AA bath oils can be a bit cheaper on eBay.

Definitely Aromatherapy Associates for surw, Deep Relax is my absolute favourite. I also find a little goes a long way so it takes the sting out of the cost price.
I do also blend my own but I still prefer the Deep Relax, the bathroom smells gorgeous afterwards.

I second REN Moroccan Rose Otto Bath Oil. I don't even particularly like red rose fragrances usually, but this is gorgeous.

I like Fengal oil.

What’s best-Epsom or Himalayan salts? Do you just Chuck a handful in the bath with a few drops of essential oils or do you mix them together first?
