This product is formulated as an emulsion, meaning it contains a saponified base and castor oil specifically designed to make the turpentine oil water-dispersible. This formulation prevents the oil from simply floating in concentrated patches on the surface, allowing it to spread evenly through the bathwater for a consistent experience.
To get the best result, add the recommended amount directly to the running water while the bath is filling. The agitation from the tap helps break up the emulsion and distribute the alpha-pinene and beta-pinene compounds throughout the tub. If you notice any oily residue on the water surface after mixing, it is likely due to using too high a concentration; in that case, reduce the amount next time. Avoid adding it to already still water without stirring, as this may lead to uneven warming sensations on the skin.
