The fragrance is uplifting, and the ingredients help to soften your skin and soothe your body.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To make one large jar (approx. 500g):<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>400 g Epsom salt<br \/>\n50 g baking soda<br \/>\n2 tablespoon lavender flowers<br \/>\n2 tablespoon rose petals<br \/>\n1 g lavender essential oil<br \/>\n1 g geranium essential oil<br \/>\n1 g bergamot essential oil<br \/>\n1 g chamomile essential oil<\/p>\n<p><strong>Method:<\/strong><br \/>\n1. Mix the Epsom salts and bicarbonate of soda in a bowl and add the essential oils. Then layer all of your ingredients in the jar. Seal the jar and attach your recipe on a gift label with instructions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recipe Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Add 2-3 cups for a deeply relaxing bath<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>5. Rose infused sugar scrub<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This beautiful scrub is made with caster sugar so really gentle + the butters and oils are super moisturising. This recipe is best gifted in small quantities as its shelf life is not as long as the other products and should be stored in the fridge.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To make one small jar (50ml):<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>20 g coconut oil<br \/>\n10 g sweet almond oil<br \/>\n15 g caster sugar<br \/>\n1 teaspoon ground rose petals<br \/>\n0.5 g geranium essential oil (optional)<br \/>\n0.5 g lavender essential oil (optional)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Method:<\/strong><br \/>\n1. In a bowl, add the coconut oil and sweet almond oil and gently melt using the *double boiler method until liquid.<br \/>\n2. Place the liquid mixture in the fridge and allow to cool until it begins to solidify. This should take approximately 1 hour.<br \/>\n3. Add the caster sugar and ground rose petals, then whisk until light and fluffy.<br \/>\n4. If including, add the essential oil and return to the fridge for a few minutes to cool.<br \/>\n5. Whisk again for approximately 30 seconds and transfer to a clean, sterile container.<\/p>\n<p><em>*double boiler is simply placing a bowl over a larger pot of simmering water, which allows for indirect, gentle heat. Place your ingredients into the bowl to gently melt.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Seal the jar and attach your recipe on a gift label with instructions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recipe Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Rub into warm, damp skin in circular motions to smooth and polish your skin. Rinse with warm water.<br \/>\nStore in fridge and use within two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>6. Soothing Bath Melts<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-786\" src=\"https:\/\/friendsofglass.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/12\/image00005-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>These are such gorgeous gifts to make and always well received. The butters and oils in this recipe are rich in vitamins A, D, K and E, which all contribute to overall skin health. Your bath melts are even working for your skin whilst you bathe, and you\u2019ll step out of the bath feeling super nourished.<\/p>\n<p>They would make a beautiful gift too!<\/p>\n<p>Ingredients to make 9 bath melts:<br \/>\n65 g cocoa butter<br \/>\n27 g sweet almond oil<br \/>\n2g rose petals<br \/>\n1 g vitamin E oil<br \/>\n1 g mandarin essential oil (optional)<br \/>\n1 g rosemary essential oil (optional)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Method:<\/strong><br \/>\n1. Gently melt the cocoa butter and sweet almond oil until it is a liquid consistency using the *double boiler method<br \/>\n2. Take off the heat and place in the refrigerator<br \/>\n3. When the mixture has cooled to below 105\u00b0F (40\u00b0C), add the rose petals, vitamin E oil, and essential oils if including<br \/>\n4. This should take 10 to 15 minutes to cool<br \/>\n5. Pour into silicone moulds of your choice. I like to use small moulds that are approximately 4 centimetre\u2019s (1\u00bd inches) wide and 1 centimetre (\u00bd inch) deep.<br \/>\n6. Place in the fridge to set<br \/>\n7. Store in an airtight container. These should last for 3 months<br \/>\n8. Add to a jar and attach your recipe on a gift label with instructions.<\/p>\n<p><em>*double boiler is simply placing a bowl over a larger pot of simmering water, which allows for indirect, gentle heat. Place your ingredients into the bowl to gently melt.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Recipe Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Drop a bath melt into warm bathwater for a deeply soothing bath.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a lot of joy in making gifts, especially when you can reuse something as beautiful and practical as a glass jar. They are endlessly reusable, 100% recyclable<br \/>\nand give your homemade creations a little extra character. Whether you\u2019re layering cookie mix or crafting bath salts, glass jars make the perfect container. Plus, it feels good to know you\u2019re creating something thoughtful without adding to the pile of holiday waste (our gift to the planet).<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s to a season full of creativity, cozy moments, and a little bit of homemade magic!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\r\n            <\/div>\r\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Capture the true spirit of Christmas with handmade gifts stored beautifully in upcycled glass jars&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":782,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[14,10,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-781","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health","category-taste","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
