10 Best Bath Oils UK 2024 | Neal's Yard, ESPA and More

What can be more soothing to your mind to know that the products you're using are vegan friendly and cruelty-free? This oil does just that but with the added bonus of delicious patchouli and ylang ylang oils to help you relax and sink into your bath totally guilt-free. 

This oil comes in a handy 100 ml bottle, meaning that it's just as useful to take on holiday than it is sitting next to your bathtub at home. This oil is also guaranteed nut oil-free for any allergies, and the all-natural ingredients list contains no nasties so you can be confident you're getting a superior product. 

This is a truly "does anything" product, as not only can you add it to a bath, but you can also use it as a massage oil, a shaving oil, an emollient, as a cleansing oil, and even as part of your baby's changing routine. 

It's formulated especially for people with skin conditions, and is free from parabens, preservatives and perfumes, as well as being vegan and cruelty-free. And even though there are no added fragrances, users frequently complement its fresh herbal scent derived only from the essential oils. 

This naturally nourishing bath oil helps you wash off the stresses of the day in a hot and aromatic soak. The formula is natural and vegan-friendly, and the sweet orange, rose geranium and lavender in this oil blend harness the power of aromatherapy to leave you feeling soothed and restored. 

Plus, it has many skin-healing ingredients including vitamin E, too. The high-end appearance of this bottle will also look ever-so-chic casually displayed at the edge of the bath, and ESPA has a range of products that complement this bath oil to give you the ultimate at-home spa experience. 

Cowshed is ever-popular with the well-to-dos, especially seeing as its the brand of choice for the Instagrammer's favourite Soho House. This oil designed to soothe aching muscles (after one too many lengths of the pool between cocktails), with eucalyptus and clove oil to create a warming effect which eases any knots and twinges. 

The impressive list of gorgeous-smelling essential oils are complemented by hemp seed, almond and sesame oils, which are hugely nourishing for your skin but won't leave it feeling greasy and slimy. So all you have to worry about is staying super #relaxed. 

A modern classic scent, roses are the ultimate romantic fragrance and coupled here with lemon and violet are vibrant and soothing. Bathing using this oil is like stepping into a bouquet of freshly cut flowers, and the sweet almond and jojoba oils leave your skin feeling silky smooth. 

While the container size is very small, this oil can be used as a special treat and a little goes a long way, as reviewers say how the delicious scent from the bath fills the whole house. 

Bathing using this is sure to help you drift into a deep sleep with its blend of relaxing oils, and the hydrating sweet almond oil is as good for your skin as the essential oils are for your wellbeing. What's more, this product is made from 100% natural and pure oils with no added irritants. 

This oil is mid-range price wise, and its 200 ml bottle presents appealing value for money, but some reviewers have noted that the scent is quite subtle so you may use more than the manufacturer recommends in each bath. 

Not all bath products are safe to use during pregnancy, and whilst this is an amazing oil to use regardless, it's great to know that this is safe for expectant mums. The oil blend with the citrusy bergamot and dreamy lavender is sure to lift your mood if you're feeling a bit overwhelmed. 

This luxurious all-natural oil does come in quite a small container for the price but it is quite concentrated as the makers recommend using only 1 tbsp of oil per bath, meaning you should get around half a dozen uses out of it. 

This formula uses a blend of oils for a grounding, restorative and seriously relaxing experience, including vetivert, patchouli, sandalwood and anti-inflammatory chamomile. You'll also find coconut oil on the ingredient list, which will keep your skin deeply hydrated.

This is an award-winning oil by experts in aromatherapy (as the name suggests), and can be applied before showering as well as into your bath water. It's a luxury item, but it lasts for around 20 uses and is well worth the splurge!

While other dry skin brands use paraffin, Eucerin uses castor oil as its main carrier oil which is extremely hydrating and has a lovely silky feeling on the skin. Because it's meant for people with very sensitive skin it's free from any preservatives, fragrances, and essential oils making this a great option if you have skin problems but want a moisturising bath without any skin flare ups.

Because it is free from fragrance and essential oils this product is quite basic and is purely meant as a skin therapy treatment, so if you're looking for the added benefit of essential oils then this may not be the one for you. 

This is a bath oil infusion rather than a bath oil with essential oils, but is worth mentioning due to its low price and widespread availability. The eucalyptus scent is refreshing and relaxing, and is particularly beneficial if your nose is feeling a bit bunged up.

However, reviewers note that the scent is rather subtle, and the oils seem to disperse after a while which may not be best if you're looking for long-lasting moisturisation.
