Epsom Salt Fizz Balls

Dry Ingredients

1 Cup Baking Soda

1/2 Cup Citric Acid

30 ml extra Fine Epsom salts (use a coffee grinder to make it extra fine)

Pink Bath salt dye or Mica to discretion (depending on the color required - dark or light)

Wet ingredients

20ml grapeseed oil

10ml Polysorbate 80

5ml rose fragrance oil

Method

Combine the dry ingredients together

Separately combine the wet ingredients together

Add the wet ingredients to a spraying bottle. Lightly spritz the dry ingredients

Don’t let the mixture get fizzy as you only want this effect in the bath later. You should end up with a mixture that barely sticks together, like slightly damp sea sand.

Quickly transfer the mixture to your molds and let the fizz balls dry out for a day. Remove from the molds and store in cool, dry packaging.

Lotion bars

A lotion bar is actually a solid hydrating bar. When rubbed on the skin, the heat from your body starts to gradually melt the product, resulting in a moisturizing layer that helps to soften and soothe dry skin.

INGREDIENTS

100 ml of coconut oil
80 grams of Shea butter
80 grams of beeswax
4 tablespoons of dried lavender (optional)
10 drops lavender essential oil

METHOD

Combine the ingredients in a glass bowl. Place this bowl over a small saucepan with around an inch of water in it. Bring the water to a boil and melt the ingredients. Remove from heat. Stir the mixture thoroughly. Pour the mixture into the molds and leave to cool and harden. Once they have hardened, you can remove them from the molds.

INFORMATION

Essential oils are used in body products for therapeutic benefits or to enhance the scent. Lavender oil – helps you to relax and is great for promoting sleep.

Shea butter comes from the seeds of the fruit of the shea tree. Naturally rich in vitamins A, E, and F, shea butter helps to promote collagen production, as well as strengthen and smooth the skin. Furthermore, it helps to nourish and moisturize dry skin and aid inflammation.

Beeswax can create a protective layer on the skin. It's also a humectant, which means that it attracts water. Both qualities can help the skin stay hydrated. Beeswax is also a natural exfoliator, ideal for sloughing away dead skin cells.
