Peach Bath Truffles
These cute Peach Bath Truffles will have you feeling just peachy! They're scented with Gardenia Peach Fragrance Oil, for a fruity and floral fragrance that's perfect for a relaxing bath.
To create the peach shape, the truffle mixture is first scooped with an ice cream scoop. Then use your fingers to create a heart shape, and a spoon to create the curved crease in the center. It takes a little practice, but is worth it!
The bath truffles need about 3-4 days to dry and harden before use. We recommend filling your bathtub about 3/4 of the way, then breaking the truffle up under the faucet to activate the most bubbles. Because of the skin-loving butters in this recipe, the bubbles are dense, creamy, and moisturizing. Thanks to the polysorbate 80, we found the micas blend with the water and leave very little color on the tub.
The recipe makes about 18 truffles, depending on the size of your scoop. That means you have plenty to give to loved ones! We like to package them in small plastic bags or jars so they stay intact.
