– 1/2 cup of shea butter

– 1 tablespoon of oatmeal
– Mini silicone ice cube mold
– Mortar and pestle
– 8 oz glass jar and saucepan

Instructions:
1. Grind the dried lavender buds and oatmeal into a fine powder using a mortar and pestle. Set the mixture aside.
2. Pack the shea butter into the glass jar and add the sweet almond oil.
3. Place the jar in a saucepan with a couple of inches of water and heat on low until the shea butter melts. Carefully remove from heat.

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 water’s surface.
2. Sit back and relax.
3. Be cautious when getting out of the tub, as the bath melts can make the surface slippery.
4. Clean the tub afterward to ensure it’s no longer slippery.
5. Store any extra melts in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. They also make wonderful gifts.
