- 150g Raw Sugar
- 100g Natural Sea Salt
- 30g Extra Virgin Organic Coconut Oil
- 20g Polysorbate 20
- 20 - 50g Rice Bran Oil - **Adjust this quantity to suit
- 5mls Australian Lemon Essential Oil (You can use a maximum of 2.5% Essential Oils)
This is recipe is really just a guide using yummy ingredients - you can customise by:
- Increasing or decreasing the amount of Rice Bran Oil (or your liquid oil of choice) will make a firmer or sloppier scrub
- For a finer blend, use a coffee grinder to make sugar and/or salt granules smaller
- For a different style of scrub, use pure white Caster Sugar for a clean look
- Change the Essential Oil or blend them if desired
- The Polysorbate 20 allows some of the oil to rinse from your skin, thus making your skin soft, but not greasy, this can be increased or decreased
- Instead of salt, try grind Rice to a fine texture, this is nice too
- Use a Fragrance Oil, or blend of Fragrance and Essential Oils
To Make:
Mix all ingredients together. If making during winter, you may wish to slightly warm the coconut oil to enable it to mix more easily. In summer this wont be necessary.
To Use:
Spoon or scoop out some scrub, and use on arms and legs (this recipe is not suitable for the face). I like to sit or stand in the bath so there's little mess.
Preservation:
Our recommendation is to use 1% Phenoserve to preserve this scrub, particularly if storing for any length of time.
TIP: Invest in a coffee grinder, as it will make light work of so many ingredients used in Soap and Scrubs
