Massage Soap Bars
Here are two recipes for making massage bars. These are probably the most popular bars as mostly everybody will appreciate one after a hard day's work. And the first one we're going to make is using the olive oil; clear olive oil. We have three ounces melted here and we're going to add a teaspoon of this apricot seed and a couple drops of the camel meal fragrance and we're going to incorporate all that seed really well. These molds have these bumps on them in large and small patterns and they just feel great in the shower or bath. And we're going to do one here out of an apricot scrub and then the other recipe we're going to make is on eucalyptus bar. And that is made with the avocado and we're going to use our fragrance stress relief; a couple of drops of that and then a teaspoon of the eucalyptus leaf. And that's getting stirred into four ounces of the avocado base. If you're not sure what size your mold is, you can fill it with water and then pour the water in and that will tell you exactly how much soap to melt. Some of the mold have it listed right on there and others don't and that's a good tip for knowing how much soap you need to use per mold. Now we're going to let those set up until they are hard. Now our message bars have set up and are firm, and a good trick to remember for releasing them from the mold is to put your mold in the freezer for five minutes or so. Especially with all these little bumps, the message ball that helps to pop them right out. But first we have our, there we go, our apricot message bar and there's our eucalyptus message bar. They make great gifts.
