Jess's No Mess Body Scrub Formulation (Recipe)

Submitted By:

Jessica of Brossard, QC

Summary:

This scrub remains solid in the jar and in your hands but melts as you scrub your body. No need to mix in the jar everytime you use it.

Ingredients:

2 cups epsom salt
1/2 cup turbinado sugar
1/2 cup solid coconut oil
1 tablespoon deodorized cocoa butter
1 1/2 tbsp sweet almond oil or fractionated coconut oil
1/2 teaspoon glycerin
1/8 tsp of T50 vitamin E oil
20-30 drops of fragrance

Instructions:

Mix the salt and sugar together in a bowl. Add half the fragrance oil to salt and sugar mixture and mix thoroughly. Incorprate all the oils together and melt in a bain marie only until almost completely melted, remove from heat and then stir until completely melted. You should be able to stick your finger in the mixture without burning yourself. When the oils are comfortable to touch add the rest of the fragrance mixture to it. Incorperate wet and dry ingredients, adding more epsom or oil as necessary. Package into jars and let them cool.
