Ingredient Benefits

I added both Epsom salt and Himalayan salt to this foot soak recipe.

Epsom salt contains magnesium sulfate and is in a crystal form. Scientists are working on more research about the health benefits of Epsom salt, but it is widely known as a pain reliever. Overall Epsom salt is best for relieving foot pain, but it can also exfoliate the skin and reduce odor.

Whether you use Himalayan salt for cooking in your kitchen or for its natural skin benefits, I love Himalayan salt, and it is becoming more widely popular. Himalayan salt also contains magnesium which can ease pain and soften those stubborn calloused heels.

The baking soda and citric acid in this Homemade Floral Foot Soak Recipe will help the soak to keep form and also fizz when thrown into water. All the satisfying things you enjoy seeing when throwing a bath bomb into the bathtub.

Cocoa butter is high in fatty acids which makes it a great moisturizer! When I really want a deep moisturize, I use cocoa butter. Its consistency is richer and denser than other oils. Also, cocoa butter has a slight chocolate smell. What’s not to love!?

I used a mixture of floral, citrus, and mint essential oils in this foot soak. Lavender, lemon, rose absolute, and peppermint. The blend is calming yet uplifting with a peppermint kick.

Lavender buds, rosebuds, and calendula flowers are added for their calming properties. They add a scent boost that makes these melts smell fresh and smooth. They add a nice color and are pleasing to the eye. This Homemade Floral Foot Soak Recipe would make great gifts for family and friends!

Ingredients

1 cup fine Epsom salt
2 tbsp fine Himalayan salt
2 tbsp citric acid
1/4 cup baking soda
25 g unrefined cocoa butter
1 tbsp dried lavender buds
1 tbsp dried rose buds
1 tbsp dried calendula flowers
6 drops lavender essential oil
5 drops lemon essential oil
2 drops rose absolute essential oil
2 drops peppermint essential oil

Directions

In a bowl, combine Epsom salt, Himalayan salt, citric acid, and baking soda.

In a double boiler, melt cocoa butter and pour it into the dry mixture. Mix well making sure to smash any clumps with a spoon.

In a blender, blend the lavender buds, rose buds, and calendula flowers to make them smaller. Add this to your mixture.

Add the essential oils and mix well.

Smash your mixture into the molds pressing firmly to make them tight and compact.

Leave overnight to harden or stick in the fridge for two hours.

I get so excited when the time comes to pamper my feet. I love droping a disk into my foot spa and watch it bubble and dissolve. Something about it feels so luxurious! The aroma of the essential oils will make you feel like your at a spa.

This recipe made twelve fizzies from the mold I used. Depending on the size of your molds, drop one or two foot soak disks into your water. The shelf life of this recipe is two months. After that, the essential oils will lose their scent. If this happens, pour some drops directly onto the foot soak disks before use.
