Make Your Own Lush Scrubee Bars!

[@Lola-wb3vh]

love it! I make cold process soap but i started out with melt an pour! I put my melt an pour in the microwave for 30 sec at a time until fully melted. If you are using a small amount of m&p then put it in the microwave for 10 seconds at a time. Using a double boiler may be tricky if your melting the M&P soap with butters. You can try slowly melt the soap by itself and the great thing about m&p is you can always remelt if it hardens up on you.

[@CreativeBathLab]

I really appreciate it! Believe me, ive tried all that & more! It just never works!! I was starting to think maybe it’s the MP soap base..!?!? I don’t know! I’m so busy with other projects thank God, otherwise I’d just fixate on it like I normally do!

[@AngelaPerkins-bx8rs]

I made this today…first try was a fail - the stripes didn’t show and the ground walnut shells was way to hard for me…second try I made solid bars with brown sugar and/or cane sugar and was very pleased! Thank you for sharing!

Another amazing video. I can’t wait to try this myself. I have everything but the kokoum butter and the walnut shells. The ground up red beans is a nice SELA touch.

Awesome! You can try it now! You don’t have to have KOKUM butter (use more cocoa butter or a different butter) or the walnut shells- (use a different exfoliant that you already have)!

[@AGee2217]

Surprisingly enough, I suck at melt and pour too. I find Dr. Adorable to be the best to work with and it's more natural than others. I feel that you can't use it in small amounts. Which is what I do and which is why I always overheat it too lol.

[@CreativeBathLab]

Lol! I’ve been getting a bit more patient with it but I’ve had a project/tutorial I’ve BEEN wanting to share. I must’ve filmed it at least 4 times now, not exaggerating. & I F’n ruin it EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! I think you’re right tho- small batches do much better!!

[@jo-annjewett198]

I made this and it was sticky. I have a skin care company so I had all the ingredients on hand. I did add about one tablespoon of honey. I use honey a lot so I know it isn’t the culprit. It is in Lush’s recipe. I remelted the bars and added more cocoa butter and a bit more beeswax. They are in the freezer now. We will see.

[@CreativeBathLab]

I didn't have a problem with stickiness. Sorry you are having issues. I hope they turn out great!

[@kimrawls5955]

Adding honey powder instead of honey probably would have helped with the stickiness.

[@veronicaadderley6198]

I’m wondering if honey in powder form may work better.

Hi I'm dying to try this out thanks for sharing but will be trying it with brown sugar as I cant seem to get the ground walnut shells here in the UK. What I can get says not for cosmetic use so I guess brown sugar will do. Love your channels as well.

Oh great! Thanks so much! Love hearing from other countries, always a pleasure! Brown sugar will do just fine! 😉 happy scrubee-making!

[@corettab9040]

Love it! I would love to see what you would do with the ground red beans.

WOW….!!! You Are My New HERO!! I LOVED THIS VIDEO & THE RESULTS!! I Love You, THANK YOU SO MUCH for doing this video, I used to buy the scrubee & it gets expensive along with other products! They just raised a couple of prices on a few of my favorites, I love them but they go so fast!!! The rising prices were draining my Savings, But NOW I’ve Made my own & SAVED A BUNCH! I love it, TRULY & like yours Better! I Can’t Thank you Enough, Your The BEST!!! Any other Products you Think you could Show us? I Can’t Live without my Staple the “RO’s ARGAN BODY BUTTER BAR” any way you could show us that one? I’ve also used the “KING of SKIN”, but that one isn’t as easy to go on as the RO’s. PLEASE 🙏🏼 if you do another, Could you do the RO’s?! I’m so excited I’ve found your channel & look forward to trying everything you put out!! I’m sorry I didn’t take any pictures of my Scrubee project ( Honestly I didn’t even think I’d be able to do it) but now that I know I can, next time I Will take pictures! Your instructions are perfect & easy to follow! Also, Where do you source your ingredients? I went through “www.bulkapothecary.com” Because they claim to be the best priced out there, I didn’t search a lot except Amazon & they were better than that site so I went with them, but if you know of a better site, please let us know?

You lost me Alex. lol the only 1 I know anything about is steric acid…. What’s confusing is how/why you’re having all these issues. Can you give me the current recipe you’re using? Perhaps I can find the issue.

is soap a most ?

[@minime6145]

I have everything but the emulsifying wax. Can I increase the beeswax or is there another sub you recommend?

[@CreativeBathLab]

I wouldn't recommend that, but you can definitely try it! Beeswax hardens & the Emulsifying waxes keep products from separating, thickens, hardens, emulsifies, & stabilizes. Some of these include Stearic acid, Emulsifying wax, Pola wax, Cetyl alcohol, Cetearyl alcohol, Montanova (Cetearyl alcohol + cetearyl glucoside), Chemconx creamblend 20 (Cetearyl alcohol + ceteareth 20), & peg-100 (+ clyceryl stearate) Liquid thickeners: Glyceryl caprate, Cc sepgel 305, & Sodium lactate

[@agathaabitino]

I made these for the first time and they came out pretty good but the only thing is that they feel very oily is that the way it is supposed to be? And did you seal wrap them?

[@CreativeBathLab]

Yes. Very oily- just like lush’s scrubee. This is why I don’t really care for them. I added soap to 1 in the video & it helped a lot with the oily. I only made this because it was a requested video. I actually threw my original scrubee from Lush away. I couldn’t stand how oily it was. And, the oil residue was so hard to get off. With all that said, a lot of people actually like this product. It’s one of Lush’s best seller.

[@glacialimpala]

Scubee isn't supposed to be a soap or just a scrub bar. It's a body conditioner first and foremost. And body conditioners are oily because the point is that your skin stays a bit oily after you're done with the bathing process :) So yes, you succeeded 100%! And if you don't want a body conditioner then the recipe is hard to adjust, better look for another one

Nice job, so this product at lush is about 11.00 to ship its about 5.95 so almost 17.00, what was the total amount you spent not on molds but listed ingredients and how many did it make. Do you have product testers who said it's identical. This is a favorite product of mine but expensive.

[@CreativeBathLab]

I am the product tester. In my opinion it was the exact same. I'm not allowed to say prices because Amazon has a policy about that (has to do with their prices changing so often). & I'm sorry I don't remember how many it made. I've been trying to remember that.
