We use these bars in the shower that turns water into milk, a real moment of relaxation while exfoliating !

We must explain one thing before going to the recipe… I hate having hot… well yes I am a true Nordic ! L’été je prend souvent des douches froide… without hot water, my husband come back yet :D. Donc lorsque j’ai vue cette recette chez MissLollipop I have not been able to restrain myself ! Voici ma version… I keep in the freezer for an even more shivering !

29 g butter illipe
15 g cocoa butter
33 g beurre de karité
17 g emulsifying wax
6 g macerate vanilla
11 g neutral cleansing base
10 gouttes he menthe verte
5 vitamin E drops (antioxidant)
1 advanced inorganic oxide green
1 peak white mica glitter

menthe karite2 icecreammenthe

Faire fondre les beurres et la cire au bain-marie. Lorsque le mélange est bien fondu ajouter votre macérât et la base lavante en remuant doucement. Lorsque votre mélange est bien homogène verser le dans votre moule favori et placer le au congélateur. J’ai laissé le mien toute la nuit au congélateur et au petit matin je me suis régalé d’une douche revigorante ! Je trouve par contre qu’il fond un peu trop vite, mais la texture est fantastique. Pour qu’il fonde moins vite augmenter le dosage de beurre dur (illipe,cocoa) and decreased the amount of soft butter (Shea).

Le dosage des huiles essentielles dans cette recette sont à un faible %. Mais attention l’he de menthe est dermacaustique je vous conseille donc de l’utiliser sur le corps uniquement.

Lament my picture is not very pretty but I could not help but to use it quickly :D. J’avais pris un moule “Celtic Lace” obtained from Alternative nature. On ne voit pas bien sur cette photo mais le fondant brille beaucoup !

Note the essential oils are not recommended for pregnant women and children under 5 years without medical advice.
