ShoogieScents Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 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!

Michi Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 You don't HAVE to make an emulsified scrub, although I prefer them that way. I use cetyl alcoholstearicewaxThese are some of the oils & butters I use, but not all at once, I just change it up from time to time:shea buttercocoa buttercastor oilolive oilgrapeseed oilSAOAvocado Oilwhite sugarturbinado sugarpreservative-LO I believe that there are some recipes in the recipe section.

Lady Di Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swamp_deb Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Remember that salt will sting cuts some people prefer sugar and some use a combination of salt and sugar. I prefer emulsified too and you can find numerous recipes on line to start with, then tweak to make your own version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
