But how do we combine our love of showers with our love of essential oils? Easy to make and fun to use, Essential Oil Shower Melts are the awesome answer!

Directions: 

  1. Combine baking soda and Epsom salt. Add water and EOs little by little until the mixture is slightly wet
  2. Pack mixture into silicone molds, or scoop out tablespoons of the mix. The mixture should not crumble when being packed
  3. Set aside for a day or two until they are hardened
  4. Once hardened, remove from molds and place on the bottom of your shower. Store the remaining shower melts in a jar. Enjoy!
