• 250 ml (1 cup) of ground oat flakes (or oat flour)*
• 60 ml (1/4 cup) of organic arrowroot starch
• 30 ml (2 tbsp) of baking soda
• 15 ml (1 tbsp) of organic sunflower oil (or other vegetable oil)
• 15 drops of organic super lavandin essential oil (Lavandula burnatii super) (For its relaxing and anti-inflammatory properties.)
• 60 ml (1/4 cup) of pink Saskatchewan salt
• a handful of May rose petals or lavender flowers

* Oats are best known for their emollient properties. They contain zinc, a top anti-inflammatory ingredient often recommended for skin problems. Oats are also naturally moisturizing: in water, they release a mucilage (just like marshmallow, chia and flax seeds) that makes them softening and soothing for irritated, burned skin and skin itching. In short, they're a super friend of dry skin and perfect for fighting the harshness of the climate that awaits in our Quebec lands!

1. In a bowl, mix the oats, starch and baking soda. Set aside.

2. In a second bowl, pour the vegetable oil and add the essential oils. Mix well.

3. Add the salt to the oil mixture. Mix well.

4. Pour the oily mixture into the powder mixture. Mix well, crushing the “clumps” formed by the oil and powders against the sides of the bowl.

5. Once everything is well mixed, add the rose petals.

6. Store in an airtight container like a Mason jar.

Add 60 ml (1/4 cup) to the bathwater. Let the bath milk steep about 5 minutes before getting in.

To keep the flowers from clogging the tub pipes, run a sieve through the water to collect the petals before draining!
