**A note on essential oils:

If using for sensitive skin, we would use Lavender, Bergamot or Mandarin, these all have calming and relaxing effects but are also suitable for sensitive skin. We'd recommend you patch test these bath bombs before use by diluting one in warm water and applying a small amount of the dilution to the inner elbow.

Never use Essential oils neat on skin, always stick to recommended quantities in products. For this recipe we have listed 7.5-10ml max for a 750g batch. this equates to 1-1.25% of the whole recipe which is within guidelines for sensitive and children's skin. Do not use for children under 2 years and please always research child safe essential oils before using. It is not recommended to use essential oils during pregnancy. Aromatherapy oils are amazing but they are potent! Please use cautiously and responsibly.
