Kitn Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 60g e-wax50g M&P50g Cocoa Butter50g Mango or Shea Butter10g Almond Oil ( any carrier oil will do)550g sugarMelt the butters, ewax and M&P that has been cut into small cubes.Add carrier oil, mix well.Add sugar in slowly , mix well.I molded them in a Wilton 1 bite brownie pan.When they have firmed up, pop them out of the mold and cover them with sugar and set on rack to dry.Package or pop into jars.I wanted the packaging to look like a candy bar, so I took some fluted cardboard and made an open box shape, wrapped that with pink foil, popped the cubes in and covered with shrink wrap.( I will have 7 in the packages I sell) my prototype was a little bit short)These really feel wonderful in your bath or shower.Enjoy.

singleyellowrose Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Those are cute packaged like that.I never thought to stand them up like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitn Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 Thank you.I decided to package them this way, because not to many fit in a jar, and this packaging costs much less than a jar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminousBoutique Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 very cute, I dont have any M&P on hand but I've been considering buying some to try a recipe like this, I am a scrub ho so I think they are something I would love to keep around for my shower!!

Objoref Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Very nice packaging ! Good idea ! Thanks for the recipe !When I read the other answers )see quote below) I was just wondering what does the expression "I am a scrub ho" means (I'm french...)very cute, I dont have any M&P on hand but I've been considering buying some to try a recipe like this, I am a scrub ho so I think they are something I would love to keep around for my shower!!Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitn Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 It means she absolutely loves to use scrubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminousBoutique Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 (edited) lol.... yeah, some american slang. Like some of us call ourselves FO HO's... a ho is not so nice slang for a woman that sleeps around (short for whore), or cant have enough... so I use it jokingly as saying I cant have enough fragrance oils, or in this case, scrubs!!

CandleMama6 Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I really like those!! Just one more thing to try!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green-tangerine Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Thanks so much! I tried these and they turned out great! I made littler ones with a flower shaped ice cube tray and they were perfect for my feet! I go barefoot all the time and they needed a little TLC. Thanks again!Angela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They weight almost an ounce, I like to use the whole cube, cause they feel so darn good. You could use less , but keep the 1/2 nor used away from the others or cut them in half, to prevent water entering the container. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katshe Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 (edited) thanks for the info kitn, gonna try these today...Oh shoot I just realized im out of mango...could i use just cocoa and maybe a hint more carrier oil?

kitchenfairy Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I made these before with all mango and they turned out fine I thought. Just made them recently with the cocoa butter and a coffee FO, rolled in sugar and a little coffee grounds as a gift for a friend who is a coffee junkie. He said it's a great way to start the day a coffee shower and then a cup of the real thing. Love these! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitn Posted June 20, 2010 Author Share Posted June 20, 2010 You could use shea or cocoa butter .Coffee grounds sounds very cool, with a coffee scented FO , omg .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebeccajo99 Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 ok, I just might have to try these now, but what are some examples/what do you mean by carrier oils? I use Jojoba and olive oil right now in my m&p... would one of those work?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katshe Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 rebecca- jojoba, olive, almond are carrier oils many others...yes they will work. I did mine with half fractionated coconut/jojoba and the coco butter no mango cause i"m out of that...turned out fabulous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SP209 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 These look great, I've been looking for some graphics for my labels, as the original poster of this thread has on her label. The frame she has around her wording. Does anyone know where to buy that type of graphics, like different sorts of framing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
