The Simple Luxury of Bath Tea: What It Is and Why You’ll Love It

What is Bath Tea?

Bath tea is exactly what it sounds like—herbal ingredients steeped in hot bathwater, allowing your skin to soak up the benefits. Just like brewing a cup of tea, bath teas use botanicals, salts, and other natural ingredients to create a soothing, aromatic experience. The process is simple: place the bath tea in a muslin bag or directly in the tub, let it steep in warm water, and enjoy the gentle infusion of nature’s best ingredients. It’s a calming ritual that transforms an ordinary bath into something special without being complicated or fussy.

Benefits of Bath Tea

While a warm bath on its own can be relaxing, adding a bath tea elevates the experience by harnessing the natural properties of herbs and botanicals. Our bath teas at NoCo Apothecary are thoughtfully crafted with premium, high-quality ingredients that feel as good on your skin as they smell. Each blend is designed with care to support both body and mind.

Here are some practical benefits of bath tea:

• Skin Soothing: Ingredients like colloidal oats, chamomile, and coconut milk powder help calm dry, irritated skin.

• Muscle Relaxation: Epsom salt and Dead Sea salt provide magnesium to ease tension and soothe sore muscles.

• Gentle Aromatherapy: Essential oil blends offer subtle, pleasant scents that enhance relaxation without being overpowering.

• Mindful Self-Care: Bath teas offer a simple way to slow down, breathe, and enjoy a moment just for yourself.

Tips for Use

• How to Brew Your Bath Tea: Place the tea blend in the provided muslin bag, tighten, and drop it into your bath as the water fills. For a stronger infusion, add more of the bath tea blend, or steep the bag in a pot of hot water for 10 minutes and pour the liquid into your tub.

• When to Use:

  • After a stressful day to unwind and relax.

  • Post-exercise to ease sore muscles and joints.

  • As part of your evening routine to promote restful sleep.

• Pro Tip: Pair your bath tea with one of our beeswax candles or a body oil for a complete self-care ritual.

Easy Clean-Up Tips

One of the best parts of our bath teas is how simple they are to clean up. Using the included muslin bag prevents loose herbs from floating in your tub or clogging the drain. After your bath, empty the contents into your compost or trash, rinse the bag, and let it air dry. No mess, no fuss.
