Directions:
NOTE: If you are making these products for sale, good manufacturing practices recommend you wear a hairnet, gloves and a mask. We also recommend a clean apron.
- To double boiler or metal pot on stove, add cocoa butter and heat until completely melted.
- While butter is melting, measure out sugar and place in a large bowl.
- Remove melted butter from heat source and let cool.
- Add 8 ml of Chocolate Lavender Fragrance Oil and blend well.
- When cocoa butter has cooled down to around 120°F, combine the butter and the sugar.
- Mix with a spatula or spoon until ingredients are blended completely.
- Place the silicone molds on cookie sheets to give them stability when they are moved.
- Fill each cavity with the butter/sugar mixture making sure they are packed tightly and smooth out the tops.
- Place in the freezer for about 20 minutes. They can also be placed in the refrigerator if a freezer is not available.
- Remove bath melts from molds and place on cookie sheets.
- To a microwave-safe measuring cup add 8 oz. cut up white soap base. Place in glass measuring cup and heat in microwave in 30 second increments until melted.Remove and stir to be sure no solid soap remains.
- Once soap has cooled down to around 140°F, quickly dip or dunk each bath melt into the melted soap using a fork or candy dipping tool. Place cube back on cookie sheet.
- Quickly spritz the top of the bath melt with alcohol to pop any surface bubbles, then sprinkle a small amount of lavender buds onto the middle of cube. Repeat for all cubes.
- Let soap completely harden by placing back in the refrigerator or freezer for about 10 minutes.
- Remove each bath melt using a metal spatula. Remove any excess soap from around the bottom of the melts or underneath so they are flat.
- We recommend packaging 4 each in a cello bag and tying with raffia.
- Label according.
WARNING: Be sure to add a warning to your label that this will make your tub slippery. Be sure to use a rubber bath mat on bottom of the tub.
To Use: Drop one cube into tub of warm water. Cube will gently melt and release cocoa butter throughout bath.
