Can I use fresh herbs instead of dried herbs?

Fresh herbs can be used, but they have a shorter shelf life and may introduce moisture to the mix, causing it to spoil faster. Dried herbs are recommended for longer-lasting bath soaks.

How much bath soak should I use per bath?

Typically, ½–1 cup of bath soak is enough for a standard-size bathtub. Adjust based on personal preference.

Are these safe for sensitive skin?

Yes, but always patch-test essential oils and herbs before use. Opt for skin-soothing ingredients like calendula and chamomile if sensitivity is a concern.

Can I make these in bulk?

Absolutely! This recipe can easily be scaled up for batch production, making it ideal for creating multiple gifts at once.
