Baking Soda

Castor Oil
- Castor oil is a natural anti-inflammatory and antibacterial agent. It nourishes and hydrates the skin while promoting circulation and helping to release toxins.



Almond Oil
- A lightweight, moisturizing oil, almond oil soothes and hydrates the skin. It also provides a protective barrier, keeping the skin soft and smooth after detoxing.



Frankincense Essential Oil
- Frankincense is grounding and promotes relaxation. It has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that support the skin’s healing process and enhance the bath’s therapeutic effects.



Texas Cedarwood Essential Oil- 
This oil is grounding and calming, perfect for stress relief. It has antibacterial and antifungal properties, helping to cleanse the skin and reduce inflammation.
