Orange Creamsicle Bath Truffle Recipe

Introduction

Experience the nostalgic scent of an orange creamsicle with this luxurious bath truffle recipe. These fizzy disks combine moisturizing shea oil and cocoa butter with a delightful creamsicle fragrance, turning your bath into a soothing oasis.

Ingredients

• 24 oz. Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda)
• 12 oz. Citric Acid
• 3.5 oz. Shea Oil
• 2 oz. Cocoa Butter
• 5 mL Creamsicle Fragrance Oil
• Coral Orange LaBomb Colorant
• Disk Mold and Package Plastic (for 10 molds)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large bowl, mix together the baking soda and citric acid. Use your hands to break up any clumps to ensure an even mixture.
2. Step 2: In a heat-safe container, combine the cocoa butter and shea oil. Melt gently in the microwave using 30-second bursts. Be cautious when removing the container as it will be hot.
3. Step 3: Pour the melted oil and butter into the baking soda and citric acid mixture. Mix thoroughly with your hands until the liquid is fully incorporated into the dry ingredients.
4. Step 4: Add the Creamsicle Fragrance Oil to the mixture. Use your hands or a spatula to incorporate it completely for an even scent.
5. Step 5: Divide the mixture evenly into two separate containers. Add drops of the Coral Orange LaBomb Colorant to one container, blending with your hands. Continue adding color until you achieve a pale orange shade.
6. Step 6: Fill half of each mold with the orange-colored mixture, pressing it down firmly to create a smooth, compact layer. Then fill the remaining half of the mold with the white mixture, pressing down to fill the mold completely.
7. Step 7: Press the two mixtures firmly together to ensure they connect and form a single disk. Smooth the top surface with your fingers, then place the cap on top.
8. Step 8: To use, place one bath truffle into your tub. Allow it to fizz and release moisturizing oils and fragrance. Half of one truffle is often enough for a luxurious bath experience.

Tips & Variations

• If you want a stronger color, add the Coral Orange LaBomb Colorant gradually until you reach your preferred shade.
• Replace the Creamsicle Fragrance Oil with any other favorite scent, such as lavender or vanilla, for personalized bath truffles.
• Use rubber gloves during mixing to prevent the oils from leaving residue on your hands.

Storage

Notes

• Use gloves to prevent color staining on your hands while mixing the colorant.
• Pressing the bath truffle mixture firmly into molds helps them hold their shape better when drying and during use.
• If the mixture feels too dry, you can add a few drops of melted shea oil to help bind it without activating the fizz prematurely.
• Store bath truffles in a dry, airtight container to preserve their scent and fizz quality.
