Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 tbs coconut oil
- 1.5 tbs arrowroot powder
- ⅛ teaspoon mica powder optional
- 13-15 drops eucalyptus essential oil
- 5-7 drops wintergreen essential oil **
Instructions
- In a small pot, melt the coconut oil (until just warm, not hot or you’ll damage the oils).
- Pour the essential oils into the coconut oil. Add in the arrowroot (and mica if using) and mix until everything is wet.
- Portion into a silicone mold.
- Place in the fridge for 2 hours to set.
- Notes: Mica powder is simply a natural way to color a DIY project. I use it when I am giving these shower melts out as homemade gifts. For just myself, I omit tit as it does leave color on your bathtub and that makes for more cleaning at some point!
- You can easily sub the essential oils for DoTerra’s “breathe” blend which works very well also.
- Safety: the melts are oil-based which will make the tub slippery. Place the melt in an area that you’re not stepping every three seconds and be careful!
- Store in the fridge.

Notes
Makes 12 melts depending on the mold used.
Note: you can grab all of the essential oils from my Amazon Store.
Again, this recipe has a very high dilution rate and should be adjusted in both dilutions as well as the oils you use for kids.
