Natural Homemade Lavender Bath Melts Recipe
Natural soy wax is a wonderful ingredient not only for making your own DIY candles, but also for use in natural skin care products. Since soy wax is used for making homemade massage candles it made perfect sense to me to use this wax to make all natural bath melts. Not only is soy wax an inexpensive alternative to beeswax, it also has a much lower melting point – right around 120° F – which makes it perfect for utilizing in bath melts.
Instructions:
I molded these natural bath melts in a Silikomart Silicone Chocolate Flower Mold
To make these bath melts, begin by weighing out the soy wax, cocoa butter and shea butter using a digital kitchen scale then combine these ingredients together in a small to medium sized glass pyrex measuring cup. Heat in the microwave until melted, then weigh out the grapeseed oil and essential oil and mix into the wax and butters.
Carefully pour the now liquid bath melts into each cavity of the mold then allow to harden fully. (If you place this mold on a cutting board before pouring you can easily transfer the mold to the fridge after pouring to hasten the cooling process.) Once the melts have solidified remove from the mold and store in an air tight container in a cool, dry location.
To use simply add one to two melts to warm bath water or massage a melt onto your skin by hand when bathing in a bath or shower to soften and moisturize skin.
