sunshinesupernova Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Does anyone make these ? I've bought a load of stuff ready to have a go - and was wondering if I actually have enough stuff or if anyone has any foolproof recipes ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gracefruit Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I have some recipes! Here is a great one for melts: 45% Fine Sea Salt 23% Cocoa Butter 20% Shea Butter 10% Yoghurt Powder 2% Fragrance Oil Melt cocoa butter on low heat until liquefied. Once melted remove from heat and slowly add small pieces of shea butter to the mixture and allow to melt. Doing it this way will prevent the shea butter getting too hot and then going grainy. In a separate bowl, combine the sea salt and yoghurt powder by stirring with a whisk. Carefully pour the melted cocoa butter and shea butter over the salt and yoghurt mixture, add the fragrance oil, and stir until smooth. You will have a consistency very close to that of wet sand. Spoon the mixture into individual moulds (we like silicone ice or chocolate moulds for this) and allow to cool and harden. To use, simply drop one or two melts into the bath and enjoy. This recipe also makes a wonderful body scrub. Sadly, I am terrible at making bath bombs, so I can't offer any first-hand advice. The most trusted recipe calls for 2/3rds sodium bicarb and 1/3rd citric acid. You can spritz this mixture with a little witch hazel to get it to stick together. The trick is using just enough liquid to form the bath bombs without causing the ingredients to activate and start fizzing. Mine always fizzed while on the drying table.
