Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 24 oz. Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda)
- 12 oz. Citric Acid
Wet Ingredients
- 3.5 oz. Shea Oil
- 2 oz. Cocoa Butter
- 5 mL Creamsicle Fragrance Oil
Colorant & Equipment
- Coral Orange LaBomb Colorant (amount as needed to reach pale orange color)
- Disk Mold (10 molds)
- Package Plastic
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the baking soda and citric acid using your hands to break up any clumps, ensuring an even powdery consistency.
- Melt the oils: In a heat-safe container, combine the cocoa butter and shea oil. Melt them in the microwave in 30-second intervals, carefully removing the container as it will be hot.
- Incorporate wet and dry: Pour the melted oils into the baking soda and citric acid mixture. Use your hands to mix thoroughly until the liquid is fully absorbed and the mixture reaches a damp sand-like texture.
- Add fragrance: Add the Creamsicle Fragrance Oil to the mixture and mix completely with your hands or spatula to evenly distribute the scent.
- Divide and color: Split the mixture evenly into two containers. To one container, add drops of the Coral Orange LaBomb Colorant, mixing with your hands until achieving a pale orange hue.
- Fill molds: Fill half of each disk mold with the orange-colored mixture, pressing it down firmly to create a smooth, compact layer. Then fill the remaining half with the uncolored white mixture, pressing down to fill the mold completely.
- Finish molding: Press the two layers firmly so they adhere, forming one solid disk. Smooth the top surface with your fingers, place the mold cap on, and allow to set before packaging.
- Usage: To use, place half of one bath truffle into your tub of warm water. It will fizz and release nourishing oils and fragrances for a relaxing bath experience.
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.
