Quick and Easy Natural Massage Melts
Introduction
Massage melts are a unique body care product that stays solid at room temperature but softens and melts on contact with skin. They are perfect for moisturizing dry skin and soothing tight muscles.
Ingredients and Recommendations
Butters and Oils
Most massage bars use cocoa butter due to its moisturizing properties, but it can be quite hard. Instead, consider using shea or mango butter for a silkier texture. For oils, sweet almond oil is ideal for dry skin and suits all skin types. Jojoba oil, a liquid wax similar to skin's natural sebum, absorbs quickly and prolongs the shelf life of other oils. Alternatives include apricot kernel, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, or soybean oils.
Additional Ingredients
- Beeswax: Helps the melts keep their shape and acts as a humectant.
- Vitamin E: Protects the product from rancidity and serves as an antioxidant.
- Essential Oils: Extracted from plants, they add scent and therapeutic benefits. Always research before use due to their potency.
- Fragrance Oils: Synthetic but provide diverse scent options.
Ingredients List
- 3 oz. shea butter
- 3 oz. beeswax
- 2 oz. jojoba oil
- 2 oz. sweet almond oil
- 1 tsp. Vitamin E
Equipment
- Molds of your choice
- Digital cooking thermometer
- 2 Pyrex glass measuring cups
- Digital postal scale
- Measuring spoons
- Wax paper
- Plastic wrap
Directions
1. Preparation: Gather equipment on a clean surface. Use wax paper on the scale to measure shea butter and beeswax. Melt them in a Pyrex cup covered with plastic wrap in the microwave.
2. Oils Mixture: In a second Pyrex cup, combine jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, Vitamin E, and any essential/fragrance oils. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside.
3. Combine and Set: Once the base is melted, mix well. Pour the oils mixture into the base, blend thoroughly, and pour into molds. Let them cool and set for a few hours, then transfer to the fridge until solid. They should easily pop out of the molds and can be massaged into the skin. Store unused bars in a cool place away from sunlight.
Note
If using essential or fragrance oils, cool the melted base to 140°F before adding to prevent burning off the oils.
