Add a touch of pure luxury to your bath with these rich, moisturizing cocoa butter melts. Made from simple, natural ingredients, they look and smell like decadent truffles—though they’re meant for pampering your skin, not eating! As they dissolve in warm water, the silky oils infuse your bath and leave your skin soft, nourished, and lightly scented with lavender and cocoa.
Ingredients & Materials
Makes 12 bath melts
-
55 g cocoa butter
-
2 tbsp coconut oil
-
20 drops lavender essential oil
-
1 tbsp dried lavender flowers
-
Small pot (a Turkish coffee pot works perfectly)

Spatula
-
Silicone ice cube tray or candy mold
Make it!
-
Melt the oils.Gently warm the cocoa butter and coconut oil in a small pot over medium-low heat. Stir constantly and avoid overheating—heat only until everything is just melted.
-
Add the scent.Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the lavender essential oil.
-
Pour into molds.Immediately pour the mixture into silicone molds. A pot with a spout (like a Turkish coffee pot) makes pouring much easier and safer.
-
Add lavender.Sprinkle dried lavender evenly over the melts while the mixture is still hot.
-
Chill to set.Place the mold in the refrigerator for about 2 hours until fully solid.
-
Store properly.Keep bath melts in the fridge or in a cool place so they don’t soften or melt before use—especially in warm weather.
To Use
Drop one or two bath melts into a tub filled with hot water. Let them dissolve and soak for at least 20 minutes for maximum skin-softening benefits.
