Essential oils do not always blend easily with water, which is why a dispersant is useful. Spa Technologies offers three bath oils with blends of water-dispersible essential oils. I offer these organic products on my Transcendence Design website. A link is attached. Sherri Silverman, Ph.D. ________ another person's answer to the question: Any other oil (that you would want in your bathwater) would work as a dispersant or "carrier" oil for the essential oils. Usually carrier oils are chosen by price, availability, and lack of smell when they are used with essential oils, but for your purposes mineral oil, olive oil, grapeseed oil (my favourite) would work famously. Remember if you are mixing oils mix the weakest scent first and stronger scents later to get the most of the aroma.
Enjoy!

Essential oils are actually not "oils" at all. They are volatile organic compounds made up of a variety of chemicals but because they contain no lipids, they are not technically considered oils--at least nutritionally. "Ordinary" vegetable oils, on the other hand, contain lipids and that's what makes them "oils". Some vegetable oils contain what scientists call essential fatty acids. These are fatty acids that the body needs but cannot make on its own. But they should not be confused with the botanical extracts known as essential oils. Essential oils are oils that use in aromatherapy. These oils have a therapeutic property and if use correctly can overcome some health problems.
