How to Make Oatmeal & Lavender Bath Melts

Ingredients:
– 1/2 cup shea butter
– 2 tablespoons sweet almond oil
– 1 tablespoon dried lavender buds
– 1 tablespoon oatmeal
– Mini silicone ice cube mold
– Mortar and pestle
– 8 oz glass jar and saucepan

Instructions:
1. Use a mortar and pestle to grind the dried lavender buds and oatmeal into a fine powder. Set aside.
2. Pack the shea butter into the glass jar.
3. Add the sweet almond oil to the jar.
4. Place the jar in a saucepan with a couple of inches of water. Heat on low until the shea butter melts. Carefully remove from heat.
5. Mix the powdered oatmeal and lavender into the melted shea butter and sweet almond oil. Stir well.
6. Pour the mixture into the mini silicone ice cube mold and let it set until hardened.

How to Use Bath Melts:
1. Drop one melt into warm running water. It will slowly dissolve, leaving a light layer of oil on the surface.
2. Sit back and relax.
3. Be careful when getting out of the tub, as the bath melts can make the surface slippery.
4. Clean the tub after your bath to ensure it’s no longer slippery.
5. Store any extra melts in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. These bath melts also make wonderful gifts.
