Master Recipes

Lotion Bar Master recipe

Time: 20 minutes plus cooling time Use this master recipe as the basis for lip balms, lotion bars, and other richly moisturizing gifts. This recipe contains a 2% essential oil dilution or about 1 teaspoon of total essential oil.

1 part beeswax 1 part cocoa butter 1 part herb infused olive oil 2% essential oil

Directions: Make a double boiler using a glass measuring cup and a saucepan. Place the beeswax, cocoa butter, and herb infused oil in the glass measuring cup. Place the measuring cup in the saucepan. Fill the saucepan with water half way up the side of the measuring cup. Place the saucepan with water over medium heat. Simmer until the beeswax is melted. Remove from the heat. Add the essential oil to the mixture in the measuring cup. Stir to combine. Pour into prepared silicone molds or tubes. Cool completely. Package. Label.

Salve Master Recipe

If you live where air conditioning or colder temperatures are the norm you'll want to use less beeswax. Time 15 minutes plus cooling time

Bath Bomb Master Recipe

Time: 45 minutes plus overnight drying time

4 parts baking soda 2 parts citric acid ? part herb infused oil 2 % essential oil ? part powdered herbs ? part starch or clay Rubbing Alcohol in a spray bottle ? part chopped herbs for decoration 2% essential oils (based on oil portion)

To increase the fizziness of a bath bomb recipe the citric acid portion can be increased to 3 parts in this master recipe. But this should only be done after you have mastered the bath bomb technique. Increasing the citric acid can make the bath bombs more volatile, especially if your relative humidity is high.

Bath Crush Master Recipe

Time 10 minutes

Another master recipe this time for a bath crush. A bath crush is like a bath bomb but it contains Epsom salts or Dead Sea Salts which are challenging to incorporate into bath bombs since they attract moisture from the air. You could also make a bath crush by crushing the bath bombs that fizz when you are making them. But this recipe is just mixing the ingredients up.

2 parts baking soda 1 ? parts citric acid 2 parts Epsom salts or dead sea salts. 1 part herb infused oil ? part clay ? part powdered starch 2 % essential oils (based on oil portion) 2 % liquid castile soap

In this recipe all ingredients are simply added to a bowl, mixed together and then packaged. Use ? cup per bath.
