Tips
While you can enjoy your milk bath immediately, the oils will permeate over time making it even more fragrant. When adding your essential oil, keep in mind that your milk bath will be diluted with bath water and not as fragrant.
Store in an airtight container in a dark space, up to 3 weeks to maintain the best fragrance and consistency.
