Soft & Silky Shea and Cocoa Butter Bath Melts

DIY bath products leave you feeling pretty and pampered. These lovely little bath melts are a luxurious addition to your "me" time. The combination of Baraka Shea and Cocoa Butter hydrate, soften, and soothe dry/irritated skin.

INGREDIENTS

This recipe makes three 50 ml bath melts:

• 120 grams of Baraka Shea Butter
• 30 grams of Baraka Cocoa Butter
• *15 - 20 drops of your favourite skin-safe essential oil or blend
• *3 tbsp. of your favourite botanical/salt

*Optional: Omit for very sensitive skin 

DIRECTIONS

1. Using the double boiler method, melt the Baraka Shea and Cocoa Butter together until no chunks remain.
2. Remove butters from heat and allow to cool at room temperature for 10 - 15 minutes before adding your essential oils. This will improve the butters’ ability to retain the scent.
3. Add 3 tablespoons of your favourite botanical or salt (the previous cooling will keep the salt from dissolving too much) and stir gently until combined.
4. Pour butters into silicone tray (or tray of choice) in 50 ml sections.
5. Refrigerate tray until butters have thickened enough to hold a sprinkle on top (around 15 mins depending on your additions). Add your botanical/salt sprinkle, and refrigerate again until solid.
6. Remove from tray and enjoy! For best results, pat dry out of the tub and massage oils into skin.
