CranberryGirl Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 Hi Guys,This is for me only..I need a scrub I can whip up here Using household stuff....My legs are like snake skin and nothing is working!! Help!!!Thanks Tara Quote
jwahlton Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 An easy one is brown sugar, raw turbinado sugar (you CAN leave this out if too scratchy) and some oil (olive, sunflower, AKO). Since it's just for you you don't have to use preservatives and make in very small batches Quote
CranberryGirl Posted January 25, 2006 Author Posted January 25, 2006 TY!!!!!!! Does it have to cure when u mix the brown sugar and olive oil?I am just gonna make enough for a few serving for showers....My legs are sooo scaley!!!!!TY!!HugsTara Quote

I did a workshop and showed the ladies how to make this using stuff in their kitchen. Went over real well. Now you may find the turbinado sugar may be a bit scratchy. I like it, but others might not. If this doesn't help you may want to look into making/buying an emulisified scrub. Good luck! I love making scrubs. Quote
younggrasshper Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 I was bored and playing around one day. Mixed soap, sugar, and ground oatmeal with a little bit of soybean oil, olive oil, sweet almond, and tea tree oil. I hate the smell of tea tree so I put in a FO to cover that smell (didn't work:p ) My mom and MIL love it.....I dont (tea tree smell) Quote
CranberryGirl Posted February 1, 2006 Author Posted February 1, 2006 Holy cow girls!

I don't like the smell of olive oil...I smell like an olive!LOLIf I can add..I made like a 3 oz batch of scrub..enough for two sitting...THanks again! U guys are the best!!!!HugsTara Quote
soapermom Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 corn meal is great and not as abrasive as raw sugar... I also use espresso grind coffee for scrubs as well. Quote
CranberryGirl Posted February 2, 2006 Author Posted February 2, 2006 Thanks so Much soaper mom!!those are two interesting ideas!!! Quote
macyboutique Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 What if you wanted to sell the sugar scrub what ingredients will I need? I know that a perservative will be needed, but what type? I want to make the kind that is in the malibu tube. Again thanksMacy Quote
sad72 Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 I've never used it but...Liquapar is suppose to be a good preservative for body scrubs. I'm thinking about getting some because it's also suppose to be a good choice to use in body butters.http://www.fortune3.com/chemstore/cart.cgi?group=13822&child=65043 Quote
