Roman Bath Soak
The origin of the name Roman Bath Soak is curious. We’ve seen it on wellness menus throughout the USA and Europe — and the ingredients were usually the same — Olive Oil, Fragrance, and a Foaming Agent. However, ancient Romans most certainly didn’t use shampoos or foaming agents in their bathing rituals, and the name is likely just a nod in honor the olive oil. This is a good recipe by any name, and an indulgent soak which is ideal for winter dry skin.
