Bohunks without butter

[donna4909]

This was my first time making a scrub, so I don't know if it's technically "good" or not. I used a modified version of Bohunk's, with no butters, because I didn't have any.

10% E-wax

15% stearic acid

71% liquid oils (almost equal parts of peanut, safflower, and olive with a tiny bit of castor)

1% Cetyl Alcohol

2% FO

1% Phenonip

I took this pic last night right after I made it, so it wasn't completely hardened up. The red & yellow specks are colorant. Accidently used the waterbased... Scented mango papaya. I used it last night, still don't know if I like it or not.

Donna~ you will have more butters than you can stand in a few days.

Sorry, I had to toss that one in there.

That looks very creamy. How does it feel on the skin?

Actually, no, thank goodness I won't. CindyM is going to be doing the packaging for me, since I chickened out & was afraid I couldn't do it alone. LOL! *many many many big hugs to Cindy!*

It's like a normal scrub on the skin (creamy & scrubby), but it rinses like a lotion. Which I know it's supposed to, but I'm just not sure if I like that aspect or not. :rolleyes2 I'm not a big fan of lotion anyway though. It always seems slimey to me.

It may seem that way because of the lack of butters and higher percentage of stearic. Stearic can make it "drag" on the skin. You could use BTMS to offset some of the drag of the stearic.

Once you get your butters though, make it again!
