DIY Bath Blends with Essential Oils for Children

DIY Bath Blends with Essential Oils for Children

DIY bath blends with essential oils for children are fragrant, inviting, essential oil blends that can ease aches and pains, soothe scrapes and cuts, treat oncoming colds, help active children to unwind and relax, and coax even the fussiest child into the tub.*

And what’s also important for parents is that these carefully paired blends are light, kid-friendly (read SAFE!), and sweetly scented like candy!

Note: Although these DIY bath blends with essential oils for children are safe, you still need to exercise caution when using essential oils with children. Use well-diluted mild oils. Using less is best. Improper dilution can irritate the skin—especially citrus oils. Supervise children when using essential oils, and never let a child prepare a bath on her own.

Add the following combinations** to a tub full of warm water. Mix well.
