Bath oils are scented oils added to bathwater. These oils, which are largely plant-based, have a wide range of benefits, including antibacterial and antioxidant properties [1], antifungal [2], antiviral [3], massage therapy, psychotherapy [4], sleep therapy [5], and pain management [6].  
The active ingredients in bath oils are derived from flowers, leaves, stalks, fruits, roots, and resins. These ingredients are very concentrated [7].
