- 35g Cocoa Butter
- 15g Apricot Kernel Oil

To make: Melt the cocoa butter in a double boiler, and then mix in the oil and rose once the melted butter has cooled slightly. Pour your mixture into small moulds and wait for them to set overnight or leave in the fridge. To use, pop one or two into a bath and relax.
2. Floral Bliss

Finally, sprinkle in the rose petals or save until later for decoration. Then pour the mixture into moulds (preferably silicone), and here you can put the petals on top or at the bottom or the moulds (whatever you prefer). Leave to set overnight, or put in the fridge until set.
