Whip Up This 2-ingredient Watermelon Body Scrub In Minutes!

Today I'm going to show you how to make a container scrub. Its quick & easy and it creates an amazing scrub! You're going to love it!
You only need 2 ingredients: raw coconut oil & an exfoliant. All other ingredients are optional and the amounts can be changed.
RECIPE: 150 grams raw Coconut Oil , 50 grams fragrance oil, 5 grams preservative, 50 grams baking soda, 50 grams citric acid, 50 grams sodium lauryl sulfoacetate (SLSa) [or a different powdered surfactant], & 400 grams exfoliant (I used Epsom salt). **This scrub can be 2 ingredients or it can be 10! It's up to you - the maker! Either way, it's still an amazing scrub because of the coconut oil. But please note that if you don't add the powdered ingredients, the scrub will have a different look, texture, & feel. The powdered ingredients soak up the extra oil & make it thicker. Plus, they give it all that lovely foam & lather**
Cream the coconut oil. Mix in liquid ingredients first, then the dry ingredients. Last stir in the exfoliant. The baking soda, citric acid, & SLSa create foam and lather. After everything has been mixed together, adjust the scrub to your liking. Cure the scrub 12-24 hours. You don't have to cover it, but if you do make sure the lid is loose because pressure will build up as the scrub expands & contracts (from baking soda & citric acid). As it cures, the scrub will become one; the dry ingredients will absorb the wet ingredients. Also, after it's cured, the scrub will be a bit drier and the colors become a bit darker. Divide the batch for different colors and add liquid and/or dry colorants to each. Use a piping bag to make stripes. Add dark green lines first, then fill in the gaps with a lighter green. Pack the layers well. For a thicker rind, layer the colors on top of each other.
If you mess up and make the green to high or you want to make a cool pattern, use a spoon to push the green down, then push the pink in the gaps.
Wet your skin. Grab a small amount of scrub and rub it on your skin. This scrub glides on easy, feels creamy, and exfoliates perfectly. After exfoliating activate the scrub with a bit of water then watch a thick foamy lather appear. This is awesome as it cleans skin but also makes the scrub light, fluffy, and easy to rinse off.

I like how you give the bare minimum for us more lazy home diy girls like me, but give more options for a fancy scrub! It really helps me feel that the results are easily achieved and the process is understandable. ❤

[@tawana2inspire]

You popped up today beautiful colors. I'm wondering if the baking soda is drying over time on the skin.

[@naturalkinks8683]

I love your videos so much I have to watch them on my tablet because the screen of my phone is too small. Lol 😂❤

Hello, greetings from Mexico City, what preservative did you use? So pretty!

[@pressedfortime2764]

Can you use the foaming bath butter instead of the SLSA?

[@cupcakecanopy]

❤❤

[@mohamedmhiri8882]

lovely content and overwhelming presentation. thank's Just i have could i change the coconut oil with other mixed oil for other benefit ? Thank you so much 🥰🥰

[@tawana2inspire]

Use a butter,like shea or mango.

[@hollythomas773]

Great video Dora! Question, by using the coconut oil, will this be easy to melt in warmer temps?

[@CreativeBathLab]

not sure

[@Jaidzeka36]

Thank you so much for this! Ive been lookng for a scrub thats convenient and easy to make. Does it melt in heat? Like duriny the summer?

[@CreativeBathLab]

I dont think so. not any more than usual, but the important part (from what I can tell) it doesn't separate - like the oil doesn't pool and separate from the scrub. it stays mixed up

[@Jaidzeka36]

@@CreativeBathLab thank you for letting me know

Hola, muchas gracias. Puedo usar sci?

Yes

What is colour powder is that just mica ?

[@destanieruble6569]

This looks so amazing, just could never be able to use it. I'm allergic to poppy seeds

[@latinanelson7551]

Try black jojoba beads instead of poppy seeds

[@sparklingfashion6276]

doesnt your skin feel dry after that scrub?

[@lesliewhite-harrison2657]

If the scrub becomes a little drying, could you add a little coco betaine or do you think it is best just to add a little more coconut oil? I would like it to spread even and smoothly. I forgot to say, they look beautiful. I'm waiting on some watermelon essential oil to come in.

[@CreativeBathLab]

yes if its dry, add more coconut oil

[@maryoneil1468]

Look nice consistency…would poly 80 be needed so rinses nice in the tub??

[@Asksequoia]

Did you end up trying it with poly 80?

[@maryoneil1468]

@@Asksequoia no I didn’t but other recipes call for it so tub rinses cleaner

[@toiteezy]

Hey Dora! Can you get the same foaming effect using sodium cocoyl isethionate without the baking soda and citric acid, or do all these products have to work together? I feel like a inexperienced kitchen chemist 😫🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

[@CreativeBathLab]

the foam is from the baking soda and citric acid. but you can definitely sub the SLSa for the SCI.

Γειά σου Δώρα, πανέμορφα αυτά που κάνεις, μέχρι εδώ μυρίζουν 😊

What is exfoliatin?

[@anitacoleman5286]

I thought it was only two ingredients? Can out pretty anyways.

[@FluffFashion_21]

She said the other ingredients are optional !

[@sarahharing4930]

Would the inflation and deflation of the scrub be because of the citric acid?

[@CreativeBathLab]

Yep

[@hippychic7546]

hey next time u think about selling, listen to yourself.....here you say, "cuz u know, your scrubs are amazing!!!" so are all of your other creations! your stuff is off the charts, AND deep down you know it. so please dont give up on selling know ur stuff is awesome, and better than most, and find your venue. a website, thru your yt channel...like a link to your own website. you know making your own web[page is not only free but easy. get a link to paypal for pmt, or hook up credit cards, and u will make $$$$ i mean you do so much work , spend tons on ingredients, get it back, and then some. i am still waiting for a way to buy your color powder.hint hint LOL

[@Innerlightheals]

Instead of slsa could you use Cocamidopropyl Betaine

[@CreativeBathLab]

Sure. Or you can just omit it

[@elizabethpostma8759]

Ok so, I'm having a hard time getting these right. I followed the recipe to a T but 3 days later it's still liquidy and runny. I say screw it and go ahead and put it in the jars anyway and the next day the jars are leaking oil and when I unscrew the cap it blows off. I waited like 3 or 4 days to jar it. Why can't I get this right? What am I doing wrong? Plz help. I have a craft fair coming up and I wanted to make these my center piece

[@sparklingfashion6276]

Can I use a liquid oil instead of coconut oil???

[@tawana2inspire]

Shea butter or mango butter or any butter.

[@useesuniverse5684]

Hi friends. Wondering if anyone can answer this question. Been hearing that SLSA is bad for skin. Is that true

[@wj5442]

I never heard that. Hope not. This looks beautiful! You are so amazing. I can’t wait to try it :) Ty for all you do :)

[@janelleharris6276]

When I made my scrub, the colors bled into each other, how do I prevent that?

[@CreativeBathLab]

I didnt have that problem and if you use my recipe exactly, there's no way you'd have it either.

Thought it was 2 ingredients? That's what video title reads.

That's not 2 ingredients lemme edit this so pll don't think I'm being negative everything this lady does is amazing everything she makes need to be in all stores ❤️y'all assuming I'm being mean cuz I said it's not 2 ingredients sheesh 🙄 u pll is annoying

[@naturalkinks8683]

If you paid attention in the beginning she said you only need coconut oil and an exfoliate of choice. 🙄

[@barbiedoll6158]

I did pay attention but I said wat I said

[@barbiedoll6158]

​@@naturalkinks8683I don't need u to refresh my memory I said that because I make sugar scrubs I use different ingredients to make it that type of texture and that soapy u have to use multiple ingredients for it to look exactly like hers so stink next time don't try to comment under my post

[@naturalkinks8683]

@@barbiedoll6158 Well I make everything skin and hair care. A lot of things I've learned from Dora. Since you know so much maybe you shouldn't have commented at all. I got time today. What's up? 🤷🏿

Don’t troll Dora like that. It can be 2.
