- Airtight container for storage
Ingredients
- 2 cups baking soda
- 1 cup citric acid
- 10 drops peppermint essential oil
- 10 drops eucalyptus essential oil
- 5 drops lemon essential oil
- Water in spray bottle for binding
Instructions
- Combine baking soda and citric acid together.
- Use your mixing bowl for this step.
- Mix them thoroughly until well blended.
- Make sure there are no lumps remaining.
- This creates the fizzing base for melts.
- Drop your essential oils into the mixture.
- Use peppermint, eucalyptus, and lemon oils.
- Mix everything together very well.
- The oils provide the energizing scent.
- Make sure they're evenly distributed throughout.
- Spray water lightly onto your mixture.
- Do this very slowly and carefully.
- Mix after each spray to combine.
- You want a texture like wet sand.
- Too much water causes premature fizzing.
- Press mixture firmly into your molds.
- Pack it down really tight.
- This prevents crumbling when they dry.
- Fill each cavity to the top.
- Smooth the surface with your finger.
- Leave molds undisturbed for 24 hours.
- Place them somewhere dry and cool.
- Don't touch them during drying time.
- After 24 hours, pop them out.
- Store in your airtight container immediately.
Notes
- Work quickly when adding water to mixture.
- Humidity can activate the fizzing reaction early.
- Use silicone molds for easiest removal process.
- They pop out without breaking apart.
- Store melts in completely airtight containers always.
- Moisture ruins them and reduces fizziness.
- Experiment with different energizing essential oil combinations.
- Rosemary and orange work wonderfully too.
- Make smaller melts for single use portions.
- This prevents waste and maintains freshness better.
