Roman Bath Soak

The origin of the name Roman Bath Soak is curious. We’ve seen it on wellness menus throughout the USA and Europe — and the ingredients were usually the same — Olive Oil, Fragrance, and a Foaming Agent.  However, ancient Romans most certainly didn’t use shampoos or foaming agents in their bathing rituals, and the name is likely just a nod in honor the olive oil. This is a good recipe by any name, and an indulgent soak which is ideal for winter dry skin.

Spa Index Kitchen Notes

You'll find the addition of mild shampoo helps to both emulsify and disburse the oil liberally throughout the bath water, for even distribution and coverage on your skin --- instead of the tub.
