How to make Exfoliating Body Scrubs; Formulating for Beginners

[@TaraLeee]

If you all don't wanna listen to me explain the math you can easily skip that part of the video. The video is divided into chapters so you can easily skip to parts you want to watch. I was trying to be helpful by explaining the math, but it seems a lot of you just got annoyed by it.

Tara you have been a God send literally, since I decided to start my bodycare cosmetics line. I have watched so much of your videos. This was literally the only formula i kept slipping up on with balancing my percentages to get the perfect texture and look at God, here you are posting not 1, but 3 formulas. God bless you tremendously and may he cause your business to prosper and you as well.

Good key points. I use both salt and sugar and I love the consistency it’s a little tricky because it’s almost a sugar scrub feel… all in the oils and what you choose to play with. Everyone please remember this is a journey:)

I loved this video. The math part is very important and helps us figure out exactly what we need. I have trouble determining how much of a batch to make because I don’t know where to begin

[@lalaitscherryxo1711]

I find that most small business make anhydrous scrubs but a lot of the major brands make aqueous scrubs that exfoliate with harmful plastic beads. That's why I started making my own products. I definitely don't consider my brand "natural" but I also use quality ingredients that actually moisturize instead of being cheap and making high profits off of water and nonsense ingredient products lol

Thank you!! I used this recipe yesterday, and I would add one thing to it: it needs 70% sugar. Yes! Wow. I didn't realize it when I first made it, and had to go back and add more. Also, using lighter oils and waxes will make it less greasy, so next time I'm going to experiment with different ones. I'll report back! Thank you so much for all of your hard work, you're teaching me so much!! :)))

[@sameenkazi]

Hey, did you try using lighter oils/waxes? If yes, could you please share which ones? 😊

[@LouiseTurmenne]

Have you ever tried making a scrub with brown sugar? I have and it's smells so good. The texture of the scrub is wonderful soft as well, because brown sugar is moistened with molasses. True, you have to use a preservative because of the molasses, but it doesn't last long anyway - it smells so yummy.

[@persephonespomegranate]

Thanks for this! Would love to see a video on face scrubs: I don’t find jojoba beads exfoliate enough to bother with the investment (a lot of makers use beads in face scrubs and they’re expensive) so I’m going to experiment with two varieties - an enzymatic scrub (I recently bought cosmetic grade pineapple enzyme power) and one using clays that are gently exfoliating like kaolin (which is also nice because it doesn’t leave a mess around your sink like some of the French clays or the darker clays you associate with mud masks). Anyway, I’d love some tips if you’re interested in producing a new face scrub video!

[@TaraLeee]

Thanks so much for watching!!! 😊 I personally don't really like jojoba beads that much either because of how expensive they are. The perk of them is that they can be used in aqueous scrubs unlike sugar and salt, so that is why crafters reach for them at times. Also I got one in my eye once and that was not fun! lol Yes kaolin clay would be far less messier. rhassoul clay is so messy! Hope your scrub comes out great!

you can use an ecocert emulsifier like ritamulse SCG or olivem 1000. Cetyl alcohol behenyl alcohol stearic acid and ceterayl alcohol are also accepted in the natural community. I believe everything I mentioned except for emulsifying wax nf and phenonip are ecocert and accepted in natural products
