Homemade Exfoliating Rose Sugar Scrub Bars Recipe

Introduction

If you’re looking for a natural and fragrant way to exfoliate your skin, homemade rose sugar scrub bars are a perfect choice. These bars combine gentle sugar exfoliation with nourishing oils and a delicate rose scent for a spa-like experience at home.

Ingredients

• 128 g castor sugar
• 43 g coconut oil
• 1 1/2 tsp shea butter
• 32 g beeswax
• 10 drops rose essential oil (optional)
• 2 tsp dried rose petals
• 2 tsp beetroot powder

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a small heat-resistant bowl, melt the coconut oil, shea butter, and beeswax together using a double boiler until fully combined.
2. Step 2: Add the beetroot powder to the melted mixture and stir well to incorporate the color evenly.
3. Step 3: Mix in the rose essential oil and dried rose petals for fragrance and texture.
4. Step 4: Slowly add the castor sugar in batches, stirring thoroughly after each addition to prevent clumps and ensure an even texture.
5. Step 5: Continue stirring until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
6. Step 6: Pour the mixture into silicone molds and allow it to harden completely, which usually takes about a day depending on the mold size.
7. Step 7: Once hardened, gently pop the scrub bars out of the molds and decorate the tops with extra beetroot powder and dried rose petals for a pretty finish.

Tips & Variations

• For a more moisturizing scrub, increase the shea butter slightly or add a teaspoon of almond oil.
• Try substituting rose essential oil with lavender or chamomile for a different scent.
• If you prefer a finer exfoliation, pulse the sugar briefly in a food processor before mixing.
• Use silicone molds with fun shapes to make the scrub bars more appealing as gifts.

Storage

Store your rose sugar scrub bars in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. They can last for several months if kept dry. To reuse, simply rub the bar gently onto wet skin in the shower, then rinse. Avoid letting the bar sit in standing water to extend its lifespan.

FAQs

Can I skip the rose essential oil?

Yes, the rose essential oil is optional. The scrub bars will still exfoliate and moisturize well, just with a less pronounced fragrance.

How often should I use these scrub bars?

Use the sugar scrub bars 2-3 times per week for gentle exfoliation. Over-exfoliating can irritate the skin, so it’s best to monitor how your skin responds.

Notes

• Ensure molds are silicone-based for easy removal of scrub bars.
• Store scrub bars in a cool, dry place to prevent melting or softening.
• Customize the scent by swapping rose essential oil with other favorites like lavender or peppermint.
• Test a small amount on the skin for sensitivity before full use, especially if you have sensitive skin.
