Morphology
The meaning 'an oil added to bath water to moisturize/soften the skin' is directly and compositionally derived from 'bath' (immersing in water) + 'oil' (a liquid substance). This simple noun–noun compound follows a common cross-linguistic pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
Bath oil comes from the simple habit of putting oil into a bath so the warm water and oil make the skin soft and give a pleasant smell. So today 'bath oil' means a scented oil you add to bath water to 'make skin soft' and 'smell nice'.
