Vanilla oatmeal milk bath ingredients: whole oats in glass blow, measuring cups of baking soda and powdered milk, with jar of vanilla oil

Oatmeal Milk Bath Ingredients

  • Oatmeal – Oatmeal works to restore moisture to dry skin and helps reduce irritation.
  • Whole milk powder – Milk can provide relief from itchy skin. The proteins and fat found in whole milk soothe and soften skin. Using powdered milk makes this a shelf stable bath product that can be made ahead of time in large batches and stored.
  • Baking soda – Baking soda naturally neutralizes itch and irritation
  • Vanilla essential oil – Vanilla essential oil encourages relaxation. I like the Eden’s Garden brand from Amazon, which is affordable 100% therapeutic grade non-MLM product.
