Peppermint & Eucalyptus Shower Melts

Make your own invigorating shower melts
Servings 8 melts
Author Savannah Wallace

Equipment

  • silicone star mold

Ingredients

  • ½ cup corn starch
  • ½ cup baking soda
  • 5 tablespoons witch hazel
  • 10 drops peppermint essential oil
  • 6 drops eucalyptus essential oil
  • 5 drops orange essential oil
  • 1 drop food coloring

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup of baking soda and 1/2 cup of corn starch. Stir.
  • Slowly add 5 tablespoons of witch hazel to your mixture, making sure you get out any lumps. Once combined, add in a drop of food coloring. I added a touch of green to give it a minty looking color.
    If your mixture seems a little dry and hard to stir, add just a touch more of witch hazel. Finish by adding in 5 drops of orange, 10 drops of peppermint and 6 drops of eucalyptus essential oil to your shower melts
  • Once everything is combined, use a spoon to fill your silicone mold. This recipe made 8 small stars.
  • Put your shower melts in the freezer overnight to harden. Keep in a cool place like the fridge to prevent them from melting. When you’re ready to use your melts, simply put them in your shower away from direct water so it can melt slowly.

Notes

 I like to put mine on the ledge of the bath in the corner or on a soap holder. For a little boost of smell, add an extra 1-2 drops of essential oil to your shower melt once it’s in the shower. Breathe in and enjoy!!
