DIY Bath Fizzy Melts

 

 

You will need:

Cocoa butter, Shea butter, Almond oil, Baking soda, Citric Acid, Bentonite Clay, Essential oils

Measuring cup, Measuring spoons, Large bowl, Large mixing Spoon

Recipe:

3 cups of Coca butter

1 cup of Shea butter

1 cup of Backing Soda

1 cup of Citric Acid

2 Tablespoons of Bentonite Clay

1 tablespoon of Almond oil

20 drops of orange essential oil

15 drops of Peppermint oil

5 drops of clove essential oil

Instructions:

Measure your Cocoa Butter solid  on a scale, then place it in the crockpot first( it's more of a stable butter and a lot firmer so it takes more time to melt), if you don't have a crockpot you could use a double boiler or make a double boiler with a smaller size pot, add water in the pot, place a larger size glass bowl over the pot of water and VOILA!!! You have a double boiler, be sure to melt butter on low heat.

Once the Coca butter is almost melted then add your measured Shea butter and put in with the Coca butter. While the butters are melting down slowly start mixing your dry ingredients into a LARGE bowl, stir with a spoon together until its mixed real good!

After the solid butters are all melted place into the measuring cup for easy pouring, wait till oils cool down before adding your essential oils. This will be a good time to add your Almond oil, stir all the oils together, pour your oils into your dry ingredients and mix well together well.

You can now scoop out your mixture into moulds, I used a candy square mold tray that can be purchased at Michaels Craft Store. Now that all the mixture is out of the bowl 

and into the mold let them sit and dry for 24 -   48 hours.

Drop into the bath and enjoy a relaxing moment!!!

DIY Easy Body Balm Recipe

You will need:

Beeswax, mango butter, avocado butter, camellia seed oil, hemp oil, castor oil, grape seed oil, essential oils, measuring spoons, crockpot or double boiler, spoons( I like the rubber ones so you can scrape all the oils from the bowl, 3 or 4 jars depending on the size, I filled up 3 jars at a 4 oz measurement each, stir sticks, scale to measure weight and a measuring cup.

Ingredients:

2 ounces of beeswax 

4 ounces of mango butter

1 tablespoon of avocado butter

1 tablespoon of camellia seed oil

1 tablespoon of hemp seed oil

1 tablespoon of Castro oil

Grape seed oil

1 teaspoon of Essential oils or fragrance of your choice

Weigh out your butters on a scale, once that is complete place the beeswax in the crockpot on low heat, wait for beeswax to melt. Once the beeswax has melted place then solid butters in a glass measuring cup and place it into the microwave and slowly melt checking every 10-15seconds( be careful not to burn your butters. After your butters are melted add in all your liquid oils. 

Your measured liquid oils and butter oils will not add up to a cup as of yet so you need to top it off with a carrier oil. I used grape seed oil in this recipe but you can add olive oil, apricot oil or whatever it is you have on hand. Place all melted oil from measuring cup into the crockpot, you will notice the liquid oils becoming a solid, don't be alarmed that's due to the beeswax so let that melt down.

Once all oils have been melted pour out of crockpot and back into a measuring cup for easy pouring and cool down the oils. You'll see a little of a ring around your measuring cup that's a good indication that your oils are cooling down and you can now add your essential oils or fragrance oils( they are both equal in measurement, a teaspoon of either).  After you stir in your essential oil or fragrance oil, stir well then pour into your jars.

Now you have a beautiful body moisturizer for you skin to enjoy that will replenish you skin cells and moisturize!!!!!
