Recipe sourced from the Green Parenting Forum. This can be used as bath melts, massage tablets, and moisturising bars.
Melt some cocoabutter in a bowl, either over a pan of boiling water or at 10/20second intervals in the microwave. Organic fairly traded cocoabutter is available from www.akamuti.co.uk.
While this is melting, you prepare your icecube trays. Silicon pop out ones are the best, sometimes found in supermarkets, Poundland, and Ikea does nice heart shaped ones. If you want to use botanicals in your bath melts, half fill each segment with one that matches your chosen essential oils. If you are making massage bars or moisturiser bars, you dont need the botanicals. Add one or two drops of essential oils to each segment.
Top up your icecube trays with melted cocoabutter and pop them in the fridge for an hour or two to set.
Remember - cocoa butter smells of chocolate. Bear that in mind when choosing your oils. Peppermint oil+cocoa butter = mint chocolate scented bath time!
