Hello,

I made some Shea Body Butter over the weekend and man and I in LOVE... Now I want to try some sugar/salt scrubs, but I know these require emulsification and preservatives, so please tell me what are your must haves for Sugar/Salt scrubs and what the product is used for...

Thanks a bunch!

You don't HAVE to make an emulsified scrub, although I prefer them that way. ;)

I use cetyl alcohol

stearic

ewax

These are some of the oils & butters I use, but not all at once, I just change it up from time to time:

shea butter

cocoa butter

castor oil

olive oil

grapeseed oil

SAO

Avocado Oil

white sugar

turbinado sugar

preservative-LO

I believe that there are some recipes in the recipe section. :)

Although I add one, I don't believe salt scrubs require a preservative, since salt is already a natural preservative. I, too, prefer the emulsified scrubs. I use a shea butter base with some jojoba oil. The ratio I use is equal parts oils/butters to equal part salt (or sugar). Scrubs are used for exfoliating dead skin cells and softening the skin. Take care not to slip in the tub or shower.
