EmulClear®
Melt My Heart
Chocolate Bath Melts
3 oz. shea butter, melted
1 oz. EmulClear®, melted
6-7 oz. bath bomb mix
1-3 teaspoons cocoa powder
fragrance or essential oils, not to exceed 1/3 fluid oz.
Mix melted shea and EmulClear® together until well blended. Add scenting materials and combine.
Combine bath bomb mix with cocoa powder. This is most easily doneusing a wire whisk. The more cocoa powder used, the deeper the color.
Drizzle oil mix atop dry powder and mix thoroughly with gloved hands. Mixture should be somewhat pourable.
Pour or spoon mix into molds. I used flexible rubber molds for ice cubes that come in different shapes (from IKEA) and Plastic molds, with greasuccess. Once mix is in the molds, place molds in freezer for up to 5 hours. Even small molds with lots of detail should release cleanly and eaily, once frozen.
As soon as bath melts return to room temperature, they are ready to pack or use.

EmulClear®
INCI: PEG40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
EmulClear® is a very versatile non-ionic solublizer and emulsifier. It can be used to make clear water based sprays, as well as lotions. EmulClear® will form clear solutions with any combination of water and alcohol. Since it contains no water, it may also be used as a dispersing agent in water-free products, such as bath melts (see below).

This table shows example compositions of essential oils and fragrance compounds. Note that even a small amount of alcohol (ethanol) greatly reduces the amount of EmulClear® which is required. Glycerin or propylene glycol additions may also reduce the amount of EmulClear® required. Glycerin is also used as a fixative in some perfume formulations since it can slow the evaporation rate of many fragrance compounds.

Directions for Use
Making clear fragrance sprays is easy using this simple method.
EmulClear® should be melted before use. It may be readily melted by immersing the capped bottle in a warm water bath or by heating carefully in a microwave. It melts just above room temperature. Mix the fragrance compounds into the pure EmulClear®. Combine Phenonip, if required, with the EmulClear®. Add this mixture to the alcohol, if used, and blend well before adding any water.
Combine the glycerin with the water. Add water slowly with good stirring to avoid cloudy solutions. The viscosity will initially increase as water is added, reaching a maximum at 40 % water, and will decrease greatly as more water is added.
Rapid additions of water may result in cloudy mixtures. Slow, careful additions with thorough mixing is required.
