Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups corn starch
- 10 drops peppermint essential oil
- 10 drops lemon essential oil
- 10 drops orange essential oil
- 10 drops lavender essential oil
- 1 Tablespoon Witch Hazel (I prefer Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel)
- Food Coloring (optional)
- Water – 3 to 4 tablespoons to start, more like a half cup total will be needed
- ice cube tray or silicone molds (I used this one from Amazon)
- medium size bowl
- mixing spoon
Instructions
- Start by pouring in 1 and 1/2 cup of cornstarch into a medium mixing bowl. Â
- Then add one tablespoon of witch hazel. Â
- Then you will add essential oils to this mixture.
- You will want to add 10 drops each of orange, lemon, peppermint, and lavender to your cornstarch mixture. Â Or as mentioned above, add 30 drops of Eden’s Garden Good Morning Synergy Blend.
- Give it a good stir at this point as it will become more difficult to smoothly stir as we add water. Â In fact, you should just whisk this mixture so that the oils spread evenly in the corn starch.
- Then if you want some color to your shower melts, add a couple of drops of food coloring.
- Now it is time to add water. Starting with just 3 tablespoons and mix well. Â It will start as a dry, crumbly mixture. Add water a few drops at a time and mix well. Then a few more drops and mix some more.
- Repeat until you get JUST past the crumbly point and the color is mixed in. If the mixture gets too wet, add a little more corn starch.
- When you are done mixing and playing with the shower melt, go ahead and pour it into your silicone mold.
- Then put it in the freezer for a few hours.
- Once you take them out of the freezer, they will pop right out of the mold. Â Or you can let them sit for a few days until they are fully dry and then pop them out of the mold.
- After they are out of the mold, you can store them in a jar.
