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 and workspace.
- Place silicone mold on small cookie sheet. This will help keep the mold sturdy when placing product in the freezer.
- In a glass bowl, measure 4.6 oz. (1/2 cup) of Baking Soda and 1.8 oz. (1/4 cup) of Citric Acid. Sift mixture through a sieve or flour sifter to remove any clumps in the powders.
- Add 1/4 teaspoon orange mica powder and mix well with wire whisk. Set aside.
- To a heat-safe pan, add 2 oz. Cupuacu and 2 oz. Cocoa butters. Heat over low heat on stove top or in double boiler until melted. Remove from heat source.
- To plastic beaker, add 1 oz. Polysorbate 80 and 0.10 oz. fragrance oil. Pour into melted butters and stir.
- Once butters have cooled down to under 150°F, slowly add powder mixture while whisking into the butters. If butters are too hot, they can start to fizz prematurely.
- Let mixture cool a few minutes longer. Mix well, then fill mold with mixture. Stir before pouring into each cavity to keep mixture well blended. Mixture should yield 9 bath melts.
- Immediately place mold with cookie sheet into freezer. This helps to quickly set up mixture and will also stop any fizzing that may occur.
- After one hour, remove bath melts from mold and place on waxed paper.
- Repeat above steps to make another batch of 8 melts.
- Package 3 melts in a cello bag and tie with raffia. Label accordingly. Add hang tag label, if desired.
To Use: Place 1-2 melts under warm, running water . Caution: Can may tub slippery.
NOTE: This product may be slightly soft, especially in warmer climates. Caution should be taken not to leave in areas where product may melt.
