Bath Melts

Ingredients

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

Directions

1. 1

   Steps: Melt the cocoa butter, add colorant and fragrance, mix.

2. 2

   Then add powdered ingredients, stir well and pour into small molds, such as a fancy ice cube tray.

3. 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. 4

   Store in baggies or airtight container.

5. 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. 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. 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.
