Guest guest Posted September 8, 2000 Report Share Posted September 8, 2000 Hi Nia 8 oz cocoa butter 3 oz mango butter 3 oz shea buter 5ml (1tsp) vit E add essential oils to your preference usually 5ml but it will vary with the oil being used. I like Tangerine and Rosewood, or lavender with a couple of drops of peppermint or Lavender and Geranium You can add callendula petals or lavender flowers too and the same recipe is great for making massage bars. Put the cocoa butter, Shea butter and Mango butter in a double boiler and melt slowly, allow to cool for a while and add the vit E and the essentail oils. Pour into shaped ice cube trays or small moulds and allow to cool. This bit takes ages and if you cool them over a long period the top can become a bit lumpy so I put them in the fridge and they come out lovely and smooth.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2001 Report Share Posted January 31, 2001 I have made bath melts/bath candies in the past and wrapped them in candy foils. I put about 6 in each cello bag. Here is what I use: 2 parts cocoa butter 1 part shea butter Melt and pour into candy molds. Pop out of molds then wrap. Bath Melts I have tried & tried to make a bath melt that didn't slump all over itself. I've added more beeswax, it's still a sodden mess. Help, someone? Be careful what you wish for.... you may get it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 This is the one that I use. 4 oz cocoa butter natural 4 oz baking soda 2 oz citric acid Scent Melt the cocoa butter, stir in baking soda and citric acid, scent and color. Pour mixture into little molds and let cool. I use a chocolate candy tray that came with little shell chocolates. You can cool faster if you put them in the fridge. I have added cocoa powder to it and chocolate chips too. Chris > Has anyone made bath melts? You know the things that look like > candies and are all butters and oil that you pop in the tub.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Hello! I'm relatively new to the group and *very* new to making my own bath products. I'm attempting to make some simple bath melts [they're cooling at the moment], but I was wondering how other people make them and what they like to put in them. Also, I'd love to see some recipes for beginners [with a limited budget ]. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
