Bath Melts from Recipezaar

Ingredients

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

Steps:

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

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

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.

Store in baggies or airtight container.

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.

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.

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.

If you are looking for other recipes, check out some of the links in the side bar or check in my archive. There are alot of recipes in both places. I am always looking for new recipes to post on my blog, so please return in the future.
