You can use other butters or oils if you wish, but this is what I do. Enjoy!!!

Butter Bath Fizzies

1 cup Baking Soda

1/2 cup Citric Acid

1/2 cup Cornstarch

2 tbsp. Cocoa Butter or Unrefined Shea Butter

2 tbsp. Rice Bran Oil

Fragrance is optional, I usually do not use one in these, but you can use 1/2 to

1 tsp. of Fragrance or Essential Oils.

Food Processor

Plastic Candy Molds (small molds with simple designs)

Something flat to press the mixture into the mold

First thing is that if you use the Food Processor, either have one that you will

not use for food or if you will use this for food later, do not add the

Fragrance Oil or Essential Oil in the mix till you turn it out into a bowl.

Then mix the scenting oils in with a fork. The reason not to mix in the

scenting oils is that they will penetrate into the plastic bowl of the food

processor and will get into any foods that are later prepared in the processor.

Blend the dry ingredients together by pulsing the processor. Have the Cocoa

Butter melted with the Rice Bran Oil. While pulsing the processor, drizzle the

oil into it till the mix comes together. You don’t want it like a dough, you

want it to hold together just a bit when you squeeze some on your hand. Then

pack into your mold using lots of pressure so that it forms a hard compact form

when it is dried. Let them set in the mold for an hour or so, the unmold them

and allow them to set in a dry place and then package.

This will leave an oily film on the tub, but is such a nice indulgence from time

to time that it is well worth having to clean the tub out afterwards. I have

found that I do not need any liquid like water or witch hazel to hold it

together, but that might be because we are in a lot of humidity here in Ga., so

you might find you need to sprits a tiny amount in yours. Hope Y’all enjoy!!!!
