topofmurrayhill Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 I'm thinking of using 2 teaspoons of apricot kernel meal in a 3 lb CP batch (total liquids). I want enough to make it look like a scrubbie soap and have some exfoliating power, but want to avoid making it too scratchy for the gf.Does that sound like a reasonable amount to try?

CareBear Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 I used 1 T ppo ground apricot kernel and it's a bit rough for me. I think the amount was spot-on, it's just the pieces are a bit big.Next stop - pumice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I agree, I use about 1/2 tsp pp oils.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Also, it's rough no matter how much you use, it's just a rough n tough additive. For exfoliation that doesn't hurt, I use collidial oatmeal or almond meal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
