Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- ½ cup baking soda
- ¼ cup citric acid
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- ¼ cup kaolin clay (optional for skin softening)
Wet Ingredients
- ⅓ cup cocoa butter or shea butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon sweet almond oil
- 1 teaspoon polysorbate 80 (optional, helps disperse oils in water)
- ½ teaspoon peach fragrance oil
- ½ teaspoon bramble berry (or berry blend) fragrance oil
- A few drops of pink or peach soap-safe colorant (optional)
Decorative Ingredients
- Dried rose petals or lavender buds for decoration (optional)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the baking soda, citric acid, cornstarch, and kaolin clay if using. Stir well to evenly distribute all the powders.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the melted cocoa or shea butter with sweet almond oil, polysorbate 80, peach fragrance oil, and bramble berry fragrance oil. Add a few drops of pink or peach soap-safe colorant if you want to color your truffles.
- Combine Mixtures: Slowly pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients while stirring continuously. Mix until the texture feels like damp, wet sand and can hold together when gently squeezed in your hand.
- Form Truffles: Using your hands or a silicone mold, scoop and shape the mixture into small truffle-sized balls. If desired, gently press dried rose petals or lavender buds onto the outside for decoration.
- Dry the Truffles: Place your formed truffles on a parchment-lined tray. Allow them to dry in a cool, dry place for 24 to 48 hours until fully hardened and ready to use.
- Storage and Use: Store the dried bath truffles in an airtight container to preserve their fragrance and freshness. When ready to use, drop one truffle into warm bath water and enjoy the fizz and moisturizing oils for a relaxing soak.
Notes
- These bath truffles are for external use only. Do not ingest.
- Always use skin-safe fragrance oils and soap-safe colorants to avoid skin irritation.
- Polysorbate 80 is recommended to help disperse oils in the bathwater, preventing oily residue in the tub.
- The optional kaolin clay softens skin but can be omitted if unavailable.
- You can substitute cocoa butter with shea butter to suit your preference or availability.
- Ensure the truffles dry completely to avoid crumbling or premature fizzing.
