I want to try this soon, thank you for sharing! Just thought using a canning funnel might help with filling your jars 😊

[@carolynpalano9284]

OMG!!!!! I absolutly LOVE this scrub!!!! Thank You for sharing this luxurious recipe! I used Rose hip seed oil, Avacado and Jojoba! The first batch is scented with Candied Citrus from Bramble Berry ❤ I thought it was to soft at first , but firmed up to perfection this morning ❤❤❤❤oh and my sugars were Brown and light brown!

[@carolynpalano9284]

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?

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!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks for watching!

[@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!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Love the scent blends you chose❣️

I just made it and love it! My oil blend was hemp seed oil, sweet almond oil and apricot. The FO I used is Oatmeal, Milk & Honey from Fragrance Buddy & 1 tsp 24k gold mica from Natures Garden. I poured my mix into a large pyrex glass measuring jug which made filling my jars easy. Thank you!

Hi Ellen could you add polysorate 80 to this to prevent the oils sticking to the bath tub, thanks again for an amazing receipe ❤

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes 👍

[@dianeespinoza8647]

I love hemp seed oil! I am sure your product is dreamy. I am hesitant to use it because of the color. You had a perfect opportunity to have a green product with hemp & bergamot in the name. Next time leave out the hibiscus powder and use matcha tea, it has the same label appeal without the poopy brown color red and green makes brown.

[@dianeespinoza8647]

Btw! I always think of ideas after I make the product.

[@Mytaste119]

Great job

[@sabnazzy]

Hello Ellen,whenever a new ingredient is mentioned i off go to Etsy and find it,however i did a google about making powder with Hibiscus flowers because i have 2 shrubs in the garden and what a surprise that i can make the powder and it's super easy. The other thing was i think you made a soap with fresh avocados and i cant find the link so please send it to me as mine are nice and ripe? thank you again dear lady and i made your non greasy butter last night and it's fabulous but you only need a little.

hi ellen. i have a question, when figuring your % of pteservative and fragrance. do you go by total of oils. or the whole batch with the sugar as well

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I go on the total volume.

Love the look of this scrub. Where do you get metal jar lids? Also shrink wrap bands and jar seals? Thanks so much. Happy Thanksgiving.

I got these jars from Amazon, but they are sold out right now.. Wholesale supplies plus has jars, lids and shrink bands.

Hello Ellen ! I hope you are good . I am loving this recipe but the only problem is I can’t find optiphen preservative. They only have Saligerm G-2 and Saliplus Liquid preservatives and I am confused on which one must I use for this particular scrub . Can you assist ?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I have not worked with those preservatives. I recommend doing some research on them, and following the manufacturers directions for usage.

Have you ever Master Batched this by chance? With the holidays coming, I'm trying to prep as much as possible.

Hi Mrs. Ellen, I would like to make this sugar scrub for myself. If you don't mind, what is the shelf life, and where should I store it?

What would be the difference between sugar scrub versus a sand scrub my wife really likes the sand from bath and body works but would like to be able to make her some

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I prefer the sugar or salt scrubs because they dissolve in water, sand or walnut hull (which is what B&B uses) can potentially clog up your drain pipes....

[@MrsMack-bw5qd]

Would this work without the steric acid

I haven't tried the recipe without it, I suggest trying a small test batch and see how you like it.

You could increase the sugar.?. But I suspect that if you let it cool a bit and then stir it, it won't have extra oils on top.

Great recipe as always! I used Grapefruit fragrance oil and it smells Devine! Thanks so much!

[@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.
