ladydragon Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Our bath melts are just cocoa butter, salts, botanicals and fragrance... Simple and yes, greasy in the water... ;-)For a foaming, moisturising bath treat we use a sort of bath bomb recipe with SLSA and instead of adding water we emulsify something like Apricot Kernel Oil with Polysorbate 20 to make it dispersible and use that as the binding agent... A bit of fizz and foam with the benefits of the oil but without the slick on the surface of the bath water...I never worked out how to remove the slick when using cocoa butter as the melt - be interested to see if there are any suggestions...

Jadryga Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Just tossing something out... don't know much about bath melts... maybe adding something like Cromollient SCE from Lotioncrafter might help? It makes the oils water-dispersible at very low levels (1-5%).http://www.lotioncrafter.com/store/Cromollient-SCE-pr-16235.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
