Cost $5
Supplies
- 55 g cocoa butter
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 20 drops lavender essential oil
- 1 tbsp dried lavender flowers
Instructions
- Melt the oils in the small pot over medium low heat. Stir constantly and keep a watchful eye on the oils. You want them to just reach the melting point and not overheat.
- When the oils have melted and combined, add the essential oils and stir well.
- Immediately pour into silicone molds. I used a silicone ice cube tray but a candy mold will also work. A small pot with a pour spout makes this job a lot easier. I use a Turkish coffee pot.
- Sprinkle dried lavender buds on top of the hot oil, dividing the tablespoon up evenly between the bath melts.
- Move the silicone mold to the refrigerator to cool for two hours, and you’re done. Store the finished bath melts in the fridge or a cool place if your house is warm so that they don’t melt before you want to use them!
- Pop one or two bath melts into a tub filled with hot water and soak for at least twenty minutes.
- The oils will make your bathtub slippery after you drain it. Be careful when stepping out of the tub. After your soak, be sure to give it a quick clean and wipe so it's safe and ready to go for the next person.
