Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: baking soda, cornstarch, and citric acid. Ensure there are no lumps by either sifting the mixture or stirring vigorously with a whisk.

In a separate bowl, melt the cocoa butter until fully liquid. Once melted, add in the almond oil, food coloring, and your choice of fragrance or essential oils. Mix thoroughly to achieve an even color and scent.
3
Gradually drizzle the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously with a fork. You want to achieve a consistency that allows the mixture to clump together when pressed, similar to damp sand.

Place the filled molds in the freezer for approximately 2 hours to firm up.
