Bath Melts

Total Time: 45 mins Preparation Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• 2 cups melted cocoa butter
• 2 cups baking soda
• 1 cup citric acid
• food coloring (optional)
• essential oils or fragrance oil (skin-safe)

Recipe

• 1 steps: melt the cocoa butter, add colorant and fragrance, mix.
• 2 then add powdered ingredients, stir well and pour into small molds, such as a fancy ice cube tray.
• 3 let sit in fridge or freezer until set then pop them out of the molds onto waxed paper or parchment paper and let sit for a short while.
• 4 store in baggies or airtight container.
• 5 use one or two per bath, and be sure you have a non-slip mat in place, as the oils may make for a slick surface in your tub.
• 6 note: be sure that your"parts" are based upon weight, that the cocoa butter is melted when you weigh it, and that your"parts" are small amounts, such as a tablespoon or two.
• 7 you can also substitute the citric acid with more baking soda and/or sea salt to make non-fizzing melts, however the fizziness helps to slowly disperse your oils through your bath.
