Dana Mae Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Thanks for the recipe...I was just logging on here to see if I could try to find a gentle, non-oily scrub recipe for my face !I wondered though because you are using volume measurements and not weight....??dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katshe Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 I suppose you could skip it and add more oil and glycerinNever tried it that way.I use the soap so that it is not too oily of a scrub and will rinse off nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAS Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Instead of liquid soap could we sub melt and pour?This looks like a great recipe - thank you for sharing it.TAS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gloworm Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I'm bad with figuring how much preservative. How much should we use in this recipe? Also our own home made liquid soap should work right? Just made my first two weeks ago.Glo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katshe Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 Dana mae, homemade liquid will work, I use a natural glycerin made i think with palm and something. I'll be waiting to see hear how it turns out. keep us postedPreservative - should use the recommended amount..germall plus liquid is 0.1% - .5% you multiply oz x % gives you what you need to useso if you are making 40 oz and preserv at .5%40x.5% = .20Please check to see usage for your preservative. I do not like to give amounts in case someone is using a different preservative the usage may be more or less.Tas, if you use melt and pour it will definitely be thicker and you will have to adjust other ingredients. I choose to use liquid , it keeps it soft enough to squeeze out of a malibu tube.I have another recipe for sugar bubble scrub, my revised recipe that uses my homemade bar soap and it is a firmer body scrub.

katshe Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 Does walmart carry a liquid glycerin soap?Sorry I responded without seeing the word soapLiquid glycerin soap is soap I get at the health food store , you can use any liquid soap that you prefer. I have even made this when I started out with shower gel just to try it out.Sorry for the confusion AkainePSP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkainePSP Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Why do I need a preservative if I'm not using water? Honey acts as a natural preservative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katshe Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 Why do I need a preservative if I'm not using water? Honey acts as a natural preservative.There is no water in this recipe but I use it in the shower and water may be introduced so to be on the safe side I use a preservativeI wouldn't sell it without preservative...
