I've been working on an emulsified scrub and finally came up with one I really liked, and wanted to share.
There are a few reasons I really like this one:
- It has liquid soap that helps cut some of the greasiness. You can omit if you want.
- It's thick like peanut butter - but if you want to thin it down you certainly can. Being thick makes it easier to ship.
- No more layer of oil with scrub on the bottom. Much easier to scoop out and use.
Ingredients:
- 40 g stearic acid
- 25 g emulsifying wax
- 20 g shea butter
- 20 g cocoa butter
- 60 g fractionated coconut oil
- 15 g jojoba oil
- 40 g unscented liquid soap
- 180 g water
- 3 % fragrance
- Preservative
- 200 g sugar or salt
Supplies:
- Microwaveable containers
- Thermometer
- Scale
- Stick Blender
- Packaging containers
*Be sure to sterilize all of your equipment and containers!
Instructions:
- Weigh out the stearic acid, emulsifying wax, shea butter and cocoa butter into a microwaveable container and heat until melted.
- Add the fractionated coconut oil and jojoba oil to melted mixture.
- In another microwaveable container weigh out the liquid soap and distilled water. Heat in microwave until warm- not boiling. Add to your prepared mix.
- With short bursts, use your stick blender to mix until emulsified.
- Take temperature of the mixture. When it has cooled down enough to add your preservative and fragrance stir them in.
- Mix in your sugar or salt. Pour into your packaging containers and ENJOY!
