1. Sanitize all tools, containers, and workspace before starting.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine baking soda, citric acid, and cornstarch. Mix thoroughly.
3. Very slowly spritz in distilled water while stirring—just enough to achieve a damp sand texture. Do not over-wet.
4. Add essential oils and mix well to distribute evenly.
5. Press the mixture firmly into silicone molds.
6. Allow to dry at room temperature for 24–48 hours until completely hardened.
7. Unmold and store in an airtight container until use.
8. When packaging, label with product name, date prepared, and key ingredients.

Place one melt on the shower floor just outside the direct stream of water, allowing it to slowly dissolve and release its aroma. Adjust placement closer to or farther from the water flow to control intensity. For a more invigorating boost, pair with cool water splashes on the face or body. Try using during your morning stretch or mindful breathing practice for a grounding yet energizing ritual.

Store finished melts in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to prevent premature fizzing. Avoid humidity exposure. This formulation contains natural botanical ingredients, which may cause allergic or sensitization reactions in some individuals. Perform a patch test before first use by placing a small portion of the dissolved melt water on your inner forearm. If irritation occurs, discontinue use. For external use only.
