How should I properly dilute and use this lotus aromatic oil in a bath or foot soak?

Because Medikomed Lotus Aromatic Oil is a concentrated cosmetic product, it should never be poured directly into bath water in its pure form. Since oil does not naturally mix with water, it will simply float on the surface in concentrated droplets, which may lead to uneven skin contact or irritation. To use it for a relaxing bath, you must first mix the oil with an emulsifier or a 'carrier' base. Common household options that work well as mediators include a tablespoon of sea salt, a small amount of milk or cream, or a neutral liquid soap. For a standard full-sized bathtub, 5 to 8 drops of the oil mixed into your chosen carrier is typically sufficient to create a noticeable floral atmosphere.

For more localized use, such as a hand or foot soak, the same principle applies but with a smaller quantity. Adding 2 to 3 drops to a basin of warm water—after pre-mixing it with a carrier—allows the soft, sweet scent to rise with the steam. This sensory application is designed to enhance the ritual of grooming, making the experience feel more refined and soothing through the fragrance molecules perceived during the soak. It is important to avoid the eye area and any mucous membranes during use. If you have particularly reactive skin or a history of fragrance sensitivity, performing a small patch test with the diluted mixture on your inner forearm is a practical step before full immersion. Consult a specialist before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or managing a chronic skin condition.
