Making Bath Melts - Orange Blossom & Cocoa Butter

I have just completed an order for some delicious Organic Cocoa Butter Bath Melts fragranced with the delightful Jo Malone type fragrance - Orange Blossom.

Here is the official fragrance description for the Jo Malone Orange Blossom perfume

'Inspired by a stay at a hotel in Bel Air, Orange Blossom is pure delight. The scent of clementine leaves in the morning dew sparkles above a heart of orange blossom and water lily, transporting the wearer to a garden oasis'

For me, it simply reminds me of how lovely Spain is in the Spring when the orange groves are

laden with the blossom and the air is so sweet ! One of my favourite fragrances!

Top Tips for creating your own Bath Melts

The trick to making your own scented bath melts is to ensure you are using a professional fragrance oil, and to add a maximum of 2 % of the toal of Cocoa or Shea Butter, i.e. 100g of Cocoa Butter, you only add 2ml of fragrance oil. The reason is that if you add any more it will simply ooze out of your finnished bath melt and just be all sticky and horrible!!!!

Second top tip is make sure you have let your melted butter cool down otherwise the heat will simply cause the fragrance oil to evaporate and you finnish up without any scent in your bath melt!!!!

Hand made Natural soaps wrapped in Cath Kidston fabrics, feather and organza ribbons! The perfect gift.

Here is the first of my beautiful handmade soaps all beautifully presented in some gorgeous Cath Kidston fabric, tied with a beautiful bow in pink organza, and some pretty embellishments too, including a pale pink feather!

I love to use silks, satins and vintage fabrics to present my soaps and natural bath time treats in, I think they deserve the very best of luxurious wrapping, ensuring these are not only delicious to use, but a beautiful gift to receive as well!

These are some of our soaps that we will be wrapping in these gorgeous fabrics! Beautiful Buttermilk Coloured with sweet ginger, full of moisturising Cocoa Butters, Avocado and OliveOils, and the most beautiful scent, all in a buttermilk coloured base with swirls of toffee coloured delight! Fabulous Fushia, simple off white base with rich fushia pink and a hint of purple, scented with such a delicate fragrance, these soaps produce the most wonderful large silky coconut bubbles to soft and cleanse your skin, sheer bliss!
