Measure out your butter and oil and place them in a heat-proof jug or beaker.Melt your butter and solid oil. You will want to make use of a water bath to do this. Simply fill a saucepan with a few inches of water and bring to a boil.
70 g Shea Butter, 35 g Coconut Oil
Once boiling, Turn the heat down to a simmer and place the jug/beaker into the water. Allow to melt for around 10-15 minutes, or until the solids have completely melted.
Now that the butter has melted, we can add our extra ingredients. If you are using a fragrance oil, you can add it right away. If using an essential oil, it’s best to let it cool for a minute first to get the most out of it.
In order to get the calendula flowers to sit nicely at the top of your bath bomb, I found adding the flowers to the mold first works better.
And then pour your mixture into the mold and give them a poke to distribute them properly.
Pop them in the fridge and leave for at least 1 hour. Then you can remove from the mold. However, be careful when handling them as the heat from your hands can melt these quite quickly.
Notes:
Important: Make sure you’re careful when you get in and out of the bath, as I’ve found that these can make the bath a little slippery. Just be cautious.It’s best to keep these stored in the fridge, especially if you live in a warm climate. To use, just drop one bath melt into a hot bath and enjoy a soothing, relaxing soak that should leave your skin feeling lovely and soft!
