Calming Lavender Vanilla Bubble Bath

Is there anything better at the end of a long day than a relaxing bubble bath?

I love to make my own homemade bubble bath with essential oils.  And this is one of my favorite bubble bath recipes.

I love how the vanilla oleoresin and lavender essential oil combine to make a warm floral scent that helps me relax, unwind, and let go.

After soaking in a tub of this calming lavender vanilla bubble bath, I’m pretty much guaranteed to get a great night’s sleep.

1/4 cup vegetable glycerin

step 3 (optional):  make your bath water a relaxing shade of lavender by adding a few drops of soap colorant to your bubble bath

tip: start with 2 drops of blue soap colorant and 3 drops of red soap colorant.  You can always add more if you want a deeper, richer color.

step 5:  pour bubble bath into a bottle.

You can use a squeeze bottle or use a mason jar with soap pump like I do.  It looks cute in the bathroom, and it’s easy to control how much bubble bath goes in the tub.
