Cocoa butter, coconut oil, lavender oil and dried lavender. Set in molds; drop one in a warm bath to soften skin.
What You’ll Need
- 55 g cocoa butter
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 20 drops lavender essential oil
- 1 tbsp dried lavender flowers
- Small pot with a pour spout (Turkish coffee pot) spatula, clean dry silicone ice cube tray or candy mold
Equipment
- saucepan
Directions
- Melt the cocoa butter and coconut oil together in the small pot over medium-low heat, stirring constantly so they melt without getting too hot.
- Stir in the 20 drops of lavender essential oil.
- Pour into the clean, dry mold right away.
- Scatter the dried lavender buds evenly over the hot oil (dried, not fresh).
- Chill for two hours; once fully cooled, pop out of the mold.
Notes
Drop one or two melts into a hot bath and soak for at least 20 minutes. Store them in the refrigerator, a cool spot, or the freezer so they don't melt. The oils make the tub slippery, so step out carefully and wipe the tub after draining. Safety: do a patch test first. Hot oil burns, so keep kids back while you work. Flower buds can clog drains, so use a drain strainer.
