Ingredients
Scale
Scrub Base
- 128 g castor sugar
- 43 g coconut oil
- 1 1/2 tsp shea butter
- 32 g beeswax
Additives
- 10 drops rose essential oil (optional)
- 2 tsp dried rose petals
- 2 tsp beetroot powder
Instructions
- Melt the oils and wax: In a small heat-resistant bowl, melt the coconut oil, shea butter, and beeswax using a double boiler method until fully liquid and combined.
- Add beetroot powder: Stir the beetroot powder into the melted oils and wax mixture to infuse color and beneficial properties.
- Add essential oil and petals: Mix in the rose essential oil and dried rose petals evenly throughout the mixture.
- Incorporate sugar: Slowly add the castor sugar in batches to the wet mixture, stirring thoroughly between each addition to prevent clumping and ensure a smooth, grainy texture.
- Combine well: Continue stirring until the entire mixture is well blended and uniform in consistency.
- Set and harden: Pour the mixture into silicone molds and allow it to harden completely at room temperature, which can take about 24 hours depending on mold size.
- Unmold and decorate: Once hardened, gently pop the scrub bars out of the molds and decorate the tops with a sprinkle of beetroot powder and dried rose petals for a decorative touch.
Notes
- Use castor sugar for gentle exfoliation; granulated sugar can be a substitute but may be slightly coarser.
- 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.
