Emulsified Sugar Scrub Recipes

Emulsified Sugar Scrubs

These are our Emulsified Sugar Scrub Recipes! They leave your skin feeling soft, pampered and smooth, with no greasy after feel. Economical and easy to make, these formulations include our Aussie Spa Minerals! These differ to regular sugar/salt scrubs in that they have Emulisfying Waxes in the Oil Phase ingredients, and that means the oils are combined into a more solid form together with the exfoliating ingredients.

It is really important to break up the scrub into granules as it cools down and sets, so that the end texture resembles bread crumbs. By doing this, the scrub is ready to hydrate just prior to use. Presented in a Chunky Bail Jar or Wide Necked Jar with a Plastic Spoon or Wooden Scoop they look wonderful.

Good Morning!

This scrub is perfect to wake up to - fresh and zingy! This formulation uses a blend of Fragrant Oil and Essential Oils, but if you prefer to use one or the other, Grapefruit and Lime Essential Oils (a fresh and zingy combination), work wonderfully well to wake both body and mind. If you wish to use a Fragrant Oil only Energy or Summer Fling would be fantastic! Makes 800g of Scrub.

3. Pour the hot, liquified Phase B ingredients into the mixing bowl and stir through well

To Change to Salt Scrubs

Sugar can be substituted with Salt in scrub recipes, as can some other exfoliants. We don't recommend using
You may need to adjust the Salt down a little in these recipes, and also if using our Coarse Sea Salt grind it a little finer in the Coffee Grinder or food processor.

Note: Its a good idea to avoid using scrubs within a few days of an important event ie. your wedding, Year 12 Ball etc, because your skin can develop temporary blotches when it is scrubbed. Ensure you exfoliate about one week prior to the event just to be sure.
