What Are Bath Creamers?
A bath creamer is a delightful cross between a bath bomb and a bath melt. Imagine the luxurious hydration of a bath melt paired with the gentle fizzing action of a bath bomb. Placing a bath creamer in your tub slowly releases nourishing oils and butter, enveloping your skin in moisture while delighting your senses with a subtle fizz. This unique combination ensures a spa-like experience that deeply hydrates your skin and provides a touch of effervescence, relaxing and invigorating your bath time.
What’s in This Bath Creamers Recipe?
Citric Acid
Citric Acid is a crucial ingredient in our bath creamer recipe. It reacts with water to create a delightful fizz, adding a fun element to your bath.
Cocoa Butter
Renowned for its deep moisturizing properties, Cocoa Butter provides a rich, velvety texture that makes your skin exceptionally smooth and hydrated. As it melts in your bath, it releases a delightful chocolate aroma, making bath time nourishing and delightful.
Coconut Oil
Coconut Oil deeply hydrates your skin, leaving it soft, smooth, and supple. In addition to its moisturizing benefits, coconut oil is rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids, which help to nourish and protect your skin.
Bergamot Essential Oil
Bergamot Essential Oil has a citrusy and floral aroma that is calming and uplifting. Renowned for easing tension and enhancing mood, Bergamot Essential Oil adds a soothing and invigorating dimension to your bath creamers.
*Bergamot essential oil is considered phototoxic. This means that applying the oil to your skin can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight and more likely to sunburn. In this recipe, the essential oil is being rinsed off the skin, so it is not considered a risk for phototoxicity.
Rose Petals
We’ve included Rose Petals in our recipe for a finishing touch that exudes elegance and luxury. The petals gently float around you, creating a serene and visually captivating bath experience, turning an ordinary bath into an indulgent escape.
Baking Soda
Baking Soda reacts with citric acid and water to create a delightful fizz when added to your bath.
Natrasorb Bath Powder🛒 or Cornstarch
This luxurious bath creamer recipe incorporates Natrasorb Bath Powder or cornstarch for its unique benefits. Cornstarch gives your bath a silky feel and helps slow the reaction, ensuring a longer-lasting fizz. Natrasorb Bath Powder provides silkiness and delayed reaction, while dispersing oils evenly across the tub to enhance moisturization and sensory experience.

Bergamot Cocoa Bath Creamers Recipe
Bergamot Cocoa Bath Creamers Recipe
Ingredients
- FROM YOUR BOX
1 Tbsp citric acid
½ Tbsp cocoa butter
½ Tbsp coconut oil (solid)
6 drops Bergamot Essential Oil
Rose petals
2 paper molds
- FROM YOUR HOME
2 Tbsp baking soda
½ Tbsp Natrasorb Bath Powder🛒 or cornstarch
Directions
- Mix the citric acid, baking soda, and Nastrasorb Bath Powder (or cornstarch) in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Mix the cocoa butter and solid coconut oil in a double boiler or microwave.
- Add the essential oil to the melted oils and stir.
- Add the oil mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until you have one uniform mixture.
- Divide and firmly pack the mixture into the molds. Decorate the tops with a few rose petals, pushing the petals into the creamer. Place it in the fridge to set.
- To use, remove the bath creamer from the mold. Run a warm bath, add the bath creamer right before you get in, and enjoy! Use caution while exiting the tub, as adding oils to a bath may cause the tub to become slippery.
Notes
- In step 4, your mixture should hold its shape if you squeeze it with your hand. It won’t set well in the mold without the right consistency. Adjust the recipe if the consistency doesn’t seem right after thoroughly stirring it. Add more cornstarch if it feels too wet or more melted coconut oil if it feels too dry to get the right consistency.
- Cocoa butter is a hard, brittle butter that may be difficult to measure. You can melt the cocoa butter in its container using short intervals in the microwave and pour out your measurement, or use a small spoon to loosen the cocoa butter before measuring.
- You can play around with where you place your rose petals. Putting them on the bottom of the mold means that when you remove the bath creamer, the rose petals will be on top. If you plan to keep your bath creamer in the mold and give it as a gift, arrange the rose petals on top of it after you pack it into the mold and place it in the fridge to set.
