1/8 cup powdered milk
1/4 cup epsom salts
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 drops lavender oil (optional)

This works even better in a whirlpool tub, because it gets frothy and foamy!

I have tested this recipe before, thinking it might be a novelty for my toiletry business. Loved the actual ingredients, but did not enjoy having to do a major clean of the bath afterwards.

To bathe in chocolate is better than to bathe in gold dust. This was a great experience. I'm revived and relaxed all at once. This goes perfect with the cocoa lip gloss. Its just too perfect. Drink hot cocoa and eat a cocoa brownie while soaking.

I had some apprehension about trying this based on Rita's review, but I did and I wasn't that fussed with it. Yes bathing in chocolate is a nice idea, it does have a luxurious sound, but it just wasn't practical. It made my skin feel nice and soft but epsom salts do that by themselves. I probably won't make it again. For the ring around the bath, simply wipe it down with a flannel (face cloth) while the water is still in and then let it out.

This was a fabulous experience that every woman should try. It didn't smell very much like cocoa, but just the knowledge that I was bathing in chocolate was good for my soul. It was almost like a religious experience, lol. The epsom salts made my skin feel nice and soft, too. I didn't use any essential oils because I didn't have any on hand. I don't know if there's such a thing as peppermint essential oil, but I'm going to look into it because I think a minty scent would have made this even more amazing. Thanks for a great idea, Angela! I will be using this frequently when I need to relax and unwind.
