How to make amazing scrubs that everyone will love
The scrubs I formulated are a beautiful combination of an emulsified and foaming bath scrub. They combine the best qualities of both:
the moisturizing, nourishing properties of emulsified body scrubs and the foaming, bubbling, and hydrating features of foaming scrubs.
I don’t know why I didn’t come up with this idea before🤔
The base for this type of scrub consists of pretty simple and affordable ingredients as listed below:
🌿emulsifier
🌿oil/butter
🌿foaming surfactant
🌿exfoliating particles (sugar, salt, jojoba beads, pumice, etc)
The manufacturing procedure is also simple and doesn’t require special skills.
Equipment/Tools
double boiler or a saute pan
a couple of beakers or heat resistant measuring cups
spatulas ot stiring rods
scales
⚠️A few more things before we start with the formulas:
The formulations are written in %. If you want to automatically calculate your % to grams or ounces please, use my free Batch Calculator. You need to type in the batch size (for example 300g) and % of each ingredient. The calculator will show how much of each ingredient you need to make a 300g product Batch.
The free formulations I am sharing are developed by me from scratch, through trial and error, testing, and extensive research so if you want to share these formulas with your friends or fellow creators, please please please, direct them to my blog. I would really appreciate it.
