¼ cup Cornstarch

80 drops Eucalyptus

20 drops Peppermint M E T H O D

1/8 tsp Spirulina Powder or green Mica (optional)

Spearmint or Eucalyptus leaves (optional)

Alcohol in a Spray Bottle

Combine all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk well to combine.

Slowly, add the Eucalyptus and Peppermint oil evenly throughout the mixture while mixing the ingredients at the same time. Then, whisk well to combine.

Spritz the mixture with a few sprays of alcohol to moisten it. Then, with rubber gloves, knead the mixture briefly to combine all the ingredients together.

Grab a small handful of shower melt "dough" and squeeze it to assess the texture. If it sticks together like damp sand, it's ready to mould. If it crumbles or falls apart, add a few more sprays of alcohol until you get the right texture Be careful not to add too much moisture

Spoon a small amount of spearmint or eucalyptus leaves into the bottom of each mould, if desired

Pack the mixture tightly into your silicone moulds If at any point the mixture starts to dry out too much, simply spritz a bit more alcohol until it stays together

Once you ' re finished, smooth out the tops and leave your melts to dry for at least 24 hours However, if you live in a humid area, they may need more time You'll know they're ready when they feel dry and hard to the touch

Once dry, carefully remove your melts from the mould Gently peel back the silicone and push on the base of the shower melt, they should pop out easily.

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.
