Directions

Step 1

1. Clean & Sanitize your work area and all of your packaging materials. It is suggested that you wear gloves, protective clothing, and a hair net while preparing this recipe. Once you use plastic or silicone bowls or utensils come into contact with fragrance oil, they should not be used for food contact ever again

Step 2

2. In a mixing bowl, weigh out 115 grams Ritzy Bath Gel.

Step 3

Next, we will add the scent and color. Use the guide below to scent and color your lotion.  Some fragrance oils will require the use of Vanilla White Color Stabilizer while others will not.  It will depend on the fragrance oil’s vanillin content.  Once you have added the ingredients, slowly stir to blend the ingredients.  Each fragrance and the Vanilla White should have its own dedicated pipette. 

  • Temptation in the Tropics: 2ml fragrance oil and a pinch of Pink Diamond Dazzle Mica
  • Crushing on You: 2ml fragrance oil, 2 ml Vanilla White Color Stabilizer and a pinch of Summer Sunshine Shimmer Mica
  • Samba at Sunrise: 2ml fragrance oil, 2 ml Vanilla White Color Stabilizer, and a pinch of both Summer Sunshine Shimmer Mica and Strawberry Shine
  • Sunset Reverie: 2 ml fragrance oil, 2 ml Vanilla White Color Stabilizer and a pinch of That’s My Jam Mica
  • Caramelized Macadamia Mingle: 2ml fragrance oil, 2 ml Vanilla White Color Stabilizer and a pinch of Toffee Twist Mica

Step 4

4. Prepare your Xanthum Gum slurry. In your second empty mixing bowl, add 2 grams of Xanthum Gum with 55 grams of room temperature distilled water. Using your hand mixer blend the ingredients. Xanthum gum can clump up, so it is important that you mix it into the water thoroughly. It will turn to a gel consistency.

Step 5

5. Next, add a small amount of the Xanthum Gum slurry to your soap. The amount that you will add will depend on how thick you would like the soap to be. We added about 1 teaspoon of the slurry to ours. However, some may prefer a thicker soap. So, we created enough slurry in this recipe to allow for that. We recommend adding a small amount first and mixing it in with your mixing spoon. Then, slowly add more until you are happy with the consistency. If needed create a second batch of the slurry to thicken even more.

Step 6

6. Next, you are ready to add the soap to your bottles. Place a funnel on your first bottle and fill the bottle. Keep in mind you will be adding a pump so leave room for the dip tube. You want to stop pouring right about where the bottle begins to change shape. Repeat this process to fill your second bottle.

Step 7

7. Finally, you will need to place lids on the bottles.

Step 8

8. Your bath gel is now ready to use! Enjoy!
