Lavender & Calendula Homemade Milk Bath Recipe

Ingredients:

1 1/2 Cups powdered goat milk
1/2 Cup Epsom salt
1/8 Cup baking soda
1/2 Cup Colloidal oatmeal
1/4 Cup Organic Calendula petals or flowers
1/4 Cup Organic lavender flowers

Instructions:

To make this homemade milk recipe, begin by measuring out your ingredients using a measuring cup. Combine the ingredients in a glass bowl then mix well. You want all of the ingredients to be thoroughly incorporated with one another.

Then, using a large spoon, scoop your milk bath into cotton muslin bags. I use two 5″x7″ premium cotton muslin bags from Stateline Bag Co. to gift. Recipients can scoop out the desired amount from each bag and add to hot, running bath water. To gift as favors or single use bags, add milk bath mix to smaller bags. In this instance, recipients would add entire bag to hot, running bath water to use.

Now all you need to do is pull the bag tightly closed using the drawstrings. Be sure to store in a cool, dry location between uses.

This homemade milk bath recipe is made from natural, organic ingredients and contains no added fragrances making it perfect for sensitive skin users. To add fragrance to your milk bath, simply add several drops of organic essential oil to each individually sized bath bag. You can find many of the ingredients your need for this homemade milk bath at Mountain Rose Herbs.
