kandlekrazy Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Thanks again Kat! This stuff is awesome. I thought my first batch was really good but in the 2nd batch I used a higher sudsing soap and wow...it's so creamy and nice! I didn't have the fco so the first time used all co and the 2nd time subbed in rbo (that dang fco was on back order forever!) I don't think you can really hurt this recipe much by changing things a bit. It's a keeper for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janiece Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 thank you for sharing your recipe! This looks like one I will try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katshe Posted July 12, 2008 Author Share Posted July 12, 2008 I am glad you all are liking this scrub, I do have one question for yu all though...I would like my scrub to be scrubbier ,and have added a bit of walnut shell powder and it is nice with this addition but...the color is not attractive to me...(brownish)Any suggestions as to what to make it scrubbier and still look nice?I have strawberry seed i could try or maybe a different sugar- at the moment I use regular sugar that you get at kroger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I like it really scrubby too and I think the Turbinado raw sugar makes it that way, I actually used about an ounce extra. I plan to try it with pumice at some point...when I get around to ordering some! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bells4shells Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I made this for my sister-in-law when they were visiting (subbed out some oils and inserted ones i had on hand) and she wrote me a couple of days ago to tell me that she uses this on her feet. The person who does her pedicures told her that whatever she was doing, to keep it up because her feet looked fantastic! She was raving on and on about how great this scrub is and to make more cause she is about out. Thanks for giving us something great to start with! I'm going to add some ground apricot seed and see if she likes it better. Personally, I want mine scrubbier and more bubbly. haha But, great recipe!

earthygirl Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I wonder if sand would work ...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyndsay Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 If I added slsa and/or citric acid to this recipe, would that make it more bubbly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 SLSA would. Citric acid wouldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starr Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Tried the original recipe (cause I had it all on hand) with MP and so far, it's WONDERFUL. It's holding up nicely, I'm going to jar it and see how it holds up over the course of a week or so, if there's no problems, I'll send it off to mom to test.

Jorie Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I don't seem to have any cocoa butter. Do you think mango butter would work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katshe Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 I don't seem to have any cocoa butter. Do you think mango butter would work?yes you can use mango instead of cocoabutter just will be a bit softer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Curious if anyone has tried some of the foaming bath butter in this scrub, or any sugar scrub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bayougirl Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 What can you use in place of the FCO? I have everything else, but don't have this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdesousa5 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 (edited) What can you use in place of the FCO? I have everything else, but don't have this?Use any other light oil. Sweet almond, sunflower, grape seed,avocado.Or just increase the Olive oil by the % of FCO. Edited February 4, 2010 by cdesousa5 add thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Olive is quite heavy, I'd use something lighter to replace the FCO. Much lighter. Sunflower is a decent choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdesousa5 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Olive is quite heavy, I'd use something lighter to replace the FCO. Much lighter. Sunflower is a decent choice.I agree but sometimes people want to make it right now with what they have , that is why I said last you could increase the OO. It would be heavy though.

bconrade884 Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I just want to say thank you for this recipe. I did it and tweaked it some and LOVE it so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntoniasCreations Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I just have to say I just try this (the original one on the first page) and I have to say this is fantastic!!! I didnt use the honey, I used the shealoe butter I just got from the co-op instead, added 3 Tbsp of brown sugar instead of 2 Tbsp. I used my M&P soap I made about a month ago and used rice bran oil for the lite oil. My skin has never felt this good!!!I used it on my hands and half way up my forearm. You can deff feel the difference in my skin when I rub my hand up my arm. I can totally tell where I had stopped. I normally have dry skin from head to toe so I cant wait to use this in the shower tonight. I know the list would be really long if I were going to sell this but it is a good starting point to see what I want my sugar scrub to be like. So I can hopefully come up with a receipt that will be this good. Thanks so much!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
