Thanks for your reply! I apologize for the lapse in replying back. >Could you give more details with regards to your limitations? Most bath melts require the use of such things as butters, oils and the like. I would rather not have to use these products as they can get expensive, and it's quite the waste if the item is melting/dissolving in a shower rather than a bath. >Why melt? I know the product you wish to produce is called a melt, but what do you expect from something that melts as opposed to dissolves? Melting usually lasts longer in my experience, though if I could have a substance dissolve within a 15 - 20 minute time frame in shower temperature water (approx 107 degrees F) that would work as well. >Is it necessary that the compound act specifically towards temperature in the absence of water? No. It must react with water. >Bentonite or Montmorillonite does not adequately fulfill your needs? It can be incorporated to give a few of the properties desired in such a product, is inorganic, and is not slippery to the touch when mixed with water . . . . . They would work, yes but I would need something added to slow the melting/dissolving down. Thanks again for your reply. I hope I answered your questions properly.

hi there! i'm Shell and i make soap. hence some odd questions in the chemistry section.

hello, i'm looking for a few compounds that will help me create a shower melt (substance melts at bathroom shower temperatures) without using organic materials. they need to be non-toxic and non slippery as well. can someone throw some ideas my way? any information would be helpful. TIA.
