Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk or spoon
  • Small spray bottle (for water or witch hazel)
  • Silicone mold (12-cavity preferred)
  • Measuring cups & spoons
  • Dropper (if using liquid CBD)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Baking soda
  • Β½ cup Citric acid
  • ΒΌ cup Cornstarch (optional, helps harden)
  • 3 tbsp Water or Witch Hazel (misting helps avoid fizzing)
  • 2 tsp CBD isolate powder or 1-2 droppers full of high-quality CBD oil (non-greasy carrier)
  • 30 drops Essential oils (see scent variations)
  • Dried herbs, petals, or zest (optional, for visual effect)

Instructions

🚿 Combine Dry Ingredients

  • Mix in a bowl: baking soda, citric acid, and cornstarch (if using).

🚿 In a Separate Cup

  • Mix your chosen essential oils and CBD oil or isolate.
  • If using CBD powder, blend with a small amount of carrier oil (like fractionated coconut oil).

🚿 Blend

  • Slowly add the oil blend to the dry ingredients while stirring continuously.
  • 🚧It may start to fizz slightly β€” slow and steady is key.
  • Lightly mist with water or witch hazel until the texture resembles damp sand.
  • It should clump when pressed.

🚿 Pack & Store

  • Pack the mixture firmly into silicone molds (small muffin or soap molds work well).
  • Let dry at room temperature for 24–48 hours until hardened. (Humidity may extend drying time.)
  • Use one melt per shower for a luxurious home-spa experience.

Betsy's Infusion Notes:

πŸ“ Recipe Notes
πŸ“ Storage: Store in an airtight jar in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months. Add a desiccant pack for extra dryness.
πŸ“ Usage Tip: Place one melt at the edge of the shower floor where it won’t be directly under the water stream but will catch steam. Avoid standing directly on the puck.
πŸ“ CBD Notes: Steam contact can offer mild topical benefits via mucous membranes, though effects are gentler than ingestion.
πŸ“ Customize: For stronger scent, increase essential oil count up to 40 drops per batch. For sensitive skin, keep it around 15–20 drops total.
