I'm having a weird issue today. This is my first batch of bath melts and they just will NOT solidify!! They've been cooling in the mold for over an hour and are completely liquid now. I just touched one and it is cool. I'm wondering if I used too much oil? Here's what I used.. I started with a very basic recipe:

3/4 cup cocoa butter
1 tablespoon shea butter
2.5 tablespoons sweet almond oil
vanilla fragrance oil

I melted the butters in a glass measuring cup in a pan of water, then added the oils after removing from heat. I stirred and poured into molds.

Have you heard of this before? I've tried searching for this issue and haven't come up with anything. Thanks!

Ccooa butter can take up to three days to completely solidify. I would give it more time. You might also want to convert the cups and tablespoon to ozs (or grams) for more accurate measure.

I've never used a bath melt. What is the purpose of one and how does it work? I know don't get out much! :lol: :lol:

Bath melts make your bath very moisturizing, using natural butters and oils. The warm bath water melts the butters, releasing it into the tub. Some bath melts fizz a little bit like a bath bomb, too.

Thank you very much. I can see how that would be lovely in the bath.
