  1. Hi greetings! I'm new to this site and new to the art of creating body care goods. The foaming whipped sugar scrubs truly intrigue me. I used to purchase jars of them through etsy often. I realized that since I have an overall interest in this product why not try and give it a go at making my very own batch of it!? I don't feel comfortable or confident enough to start making my base from scratch just yet So I looked around online & ended up purchasing Stephensons OPC bath butter base just to be able to get my feet wet and be able to grow some experience off of it. I also got a 275W HB hand mixer along with a bottle of Unrefined j ojoba oil, organic essential oils which I got on a great sale and I'm wondering what else I need to make it happen... I'm trying to take in and learn as much as I can as I go. There is a never ending ocean of knowledge to absorb when it comes to crafting soaps! Would I sound like a nerd if I said I find it semi exciting but at the same time a bit overwhelming haha. As for preservatives I understand that I should use one due to the wet area and wet fingers going in and out of the Jar making way for bacteria and mold to thrive inside. To be honest I don't want to use one at all but I know that isn't too smart. When it comes down to it, I'd rather NOT use a heavy duty preservative. What do you think is best to use? I've only done a little bit of research when it comes to preservatives and found that a lot of people especially sellers use optiphen (I think that's how it's spelled) Otiphen plus? (If that makes sense). I've also heard of something like phenonip I believe. What is a recommendable preservative that does not have a heavy duty chemical make up and at the same time won't empty out my pockets that I can put into the Stephenson OPC foaming bath base? I know I have more questions but think that's enough for now 😃 Thanks in advance to those who can help
