Your Own Personal Spa-Making Bliss Bath at Home
Who doesn’t love indulging in an aromatic spa experience?
A quiet house, hot water, lit candles, a favorite book, a tasty beverage, and
all complemented by the aroma of pure essential oils added to unscented bliss
bath. Treat yourself or your family and friends by creating your own
personalized bliss bath blends. It is fairly simple and quite rewarding.
Bliss Bath came about around ten years ago when Marge was
going through a period of grief and loss in her personal life, resulting in
increased stress. A friend suggested she begin searching for ways to nurture
and care for herself, so she experimented with formulating a “blooming bath
powder.” Eventually she settled on a more subtle yet soothing formula which
became our popular Bliss Bath base unscented and chose favorites depending on
her mood, adding Rose, Sandalwood, Neroli, and other oils as part of her
pampering bath ritual.
Although Marge initially used it as a stress reliever, the
spa bath can be whatever you want it to be from a night-time wind down to a
Saturday morning energizer. Creating bliss bath for friends is fun and the bail
jars offer an attractive presentation. You can even add a bow or ribbon!
The rich and moisturizing bliss bath base is non-irritating
(tapioca starch and jojoba oil) and suitable for most skin types. As always, we
recommend testing a bit on your skin just in case of an idiosyncratic reaction.
Also, the oil residue will make the tub slippery, so label your creation with a
cautionary warning about slippage.
If creating from the unscented Bliss Bath, add about ¼ cup additional Jojoba
Oil, and 3 mls of your favorite essential oil or blend. Remember not to use
essential oils which are known skin or mucous-membrane irritants. (For
instance, I would stay away from most of the spice oils.)
Our bags of unscented bliss bath are much easier to work
with than bail jars if blending your own creation. I find it easier to blend
this way and then add to an empty bail jar or jars for gift giving.
Synergy ideas for Bliss Bath:
Destress, Harmony, Relax or Reunite Synergy-All are calming
stress relievers at the end of a long, hard, day. Caution user to be prepared
to sleep after this bath!

Energizing bliss bath-Equal parts Pink Grapefruit, Thyme
Linalol, and Rosemary.
Energizing immune boost bliss bath-Ravensara, Eucalyptus,
Peppermint, and Rosemary.
Our new Russian Rose Oil is enchanting and affordable
luxury and would make a beautiful bliss bath.
We offer pre-blended Bliss Bath in Rose, English Lavender,
Cleopatra’s Secret, and Jasmine, but have always been adamant about making the

bliss bath experience or others with sensitive skin issues.
