This is
an old favourite, the recipe is more of a balance or ratios to get the right
texture – super easy!
Ingredients:
4 parts
Sugar*
1 part
Coconut Oil
1 part
Olive Oil**
1-2tbsp Ground
Cinnamon
1-2tbsp
Honey (Optional)
Method:
1.
Melt the coconut oil in the microwave or bain
marie.
2.
Mix everything together until combined.
3.
Transfer to jars.
To Use:
Rub into
the skin to provide an exfoliating scrub, then rinse off.
For super
smooth legs shave, then rub in this scrub, rinse and shave again.
DO NOT
apply to private area, as the sugar can upset the natural balance there.
*I like a
combination of white granulated and brown. This is a great way of using up the
ends of baking ingredients.
**Any
simple carrier oil will work

These are
a great gift, or a great treat for a luxurious bath. However, the correct
balance of liquid can be rather difficult to get right. This is a rough ratio
of dry powders to liquid, but you must learn the correct consistency to make
balls that don’t melt or fall apart.
Ingredients:
[Makes 2x 2” diameter balls]
½ cup
Bicarbonate of Soda
¼ cup
Citric Acid
¼ cup
Cornflour
¼ cup
Epsom Salt
1tbsp
Castor Oil
1tbsp
Essential Oil
1tbsp
Water
Colouring*
Method:
1.
Mix together the dry ingredients.
2.
Mix together the liquids in a separate pot.
3.
Gradually add the liquid to the powders, mixing
well until sandy – you probably won’t need all the liquid.
4.
Press into moulds, packing tightly, then turn out
onto a rack and place somewhere to dry for 2-3 hours.
It is
almost impossible to make bath bombs on a rainy day, any humidity in the air
will send them fizzing to an early death!
*I use a
powdered food colouring, but you can get soap colours or use food colouring,
just be sure to adjust the amount of liquid.
