Finally got around to making this and oh Mylanta, I wish there was smell-a-vision! I used Sweet Vanilla Chai from WSP and added Turbinado sugar along with the white cane sugar. I hope my customers love this as much as I do. Thank you for providing the recipe! I will definitely be making more varieties! 🥰

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Your scent sounds fantastic!

[@HDonaldson]

I whipped some of these up yesterday. They may be my new favorite thing! I made Lavender/Vanilla, Tea Tree, Peppermint and a few blends. I used white sugar and the finished product is lovely. If I use the white sugar again, I may add a tiny bit of mica for visual interest. "Body Polish" is the perfect description!

[@brightchange6065]

I use a whisk to add the oils/EO-FO/Preservative to the sugar first - to moisten it without having to worry about the waxes thickening and clumping it. Then I add the melted butters and waxes and whisk again and it doesn't clump. A canning funnel with a 1/3-1/2 measuring cup as a scoop - it fills the jars super-fast and doesn't make a mess. The rim stays clean and dry. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe. My first batch came out perfect. I use small amounts of colored clays to give the mixtures a color to compliment a fragrance.

[@akashamagick]

Thanks!

[@SquishyTheSlime]

Awesome recipe. Can't wait to try some of these. Having made a gazillion cupcakes and muffins in my catering I was thinking an ice cream scoop would be a great way to fill those jars! Thanks for your great videos! (my kids named the account--sorry about that LOL)

I've been making my own sugar scrubs for personal use and they're usually 3-4 ingredients (two sugars, an oil & additional ingredient). This is very interesting since I've never made an emulsifying scrub before. Thanks for sharing!

Ellen, should we be worried about destroying properties when melting the hard butter? I make my scrub in a crock pot, I melt the butters and waxes on LOW, then add the rest when it's cooled down considerably. Even on low it got to about 190 , maybe I should melt in a double boiler. Have you temped the butters coming out of the micro?
