Shea & Mango Bath Melts

A wonderful bath melt which mixes and disperses with a fizz when you drop one or two into the bath. You can use icecube trays as moulds or anything else that you think might be suitable!

Ingredients:

200g Bicarbonate of soda
100g Citric acid
25g Shea butter
12g Mango butter
2.5ml Apricot kernel oil
1ml Wheatgerm oil (good anti-oxidant)
3g Polysorbate 20
20-30 drops essential or fragrance oil

Directions:

In a bowl, mix together the dry ingredients and place in the moulds

In a double boiler, melt the butters and add the fixed oils, heat through and stir well

Allow a few minutes to cool before adding essentail or frangrance oils, mix well

Pour the oil/butter into the moulds containing the dry ingredients (you may want to mix in gently to fully coat the dry ingredients a remove pockets of air

Cool rapidly (best to place moulds in the freezer)

When set, remove from the moulds. Drop one or two into a warm bath!
