Foaming Sugar Scrub

The foaming body scrub has moisturizing, exfoliating, and cleansing properties.

Sweet almond oil acts as a skin softener, and its emollient properties can help alleviate symptoms of dry, irritated, or flaky skin.

Vegetable glycerin is a humectant that absorbs moisture from the surrounding environment, promoting hydration. It aids in maintaining the skin's moisture balance, thus improving its overall appearance.

Cocoglucoside and glyceryl oleate, and SLSA are surfactants. Surfactants assist in removing dirt and also function as co-emulsifiers. SLSA adds foaminess to the product. Cocoglucoside and glyceryl oleate are skin-conditioning agents that help to soften or smooth the skin. They increase the water content in the skin's upper layers.

An emulsifier is necessary to maintain consistency. It prevents water-soluble and oil-soluble components from separating.

Sugar is the exfoliating ingredient in the scrub. The coarse texture of the sugar granules helps remove dead skin cells from the skin's surface, revealing the fresh, smooth skin underneath.

Cosgard is a broad-spectrum preservative that helps prevent microbial growth and prolongs the product's shelf life.

To prepare 100g of body scrub, you'll need:

• Sweet almond oil 5g
• Vegetable glycerin 5g
• Cocoglucoside and glyceryl oleate 5g
• SLSA surfactant 7g
• Olliva or Olivem 1000 emulsifier 2g
• Water 14g
• Sugar 60g
• Fragrance oil or essential oil 1g
• Cosgard 1g

The preparation time is approximately 1 hour, and the difficulty level is medium, as accurate weighing of components is required.

Preparation

1. Mix oil, glycerin, and cocoglucoside and glyceryl oleate into a uniform mixture.
2. Add the SLSA, emulsifier, and water. Heat the mixture in a water bath until solid ingredients melt.
3. Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then stir in the sugar.
4. Once the mixture has cooled below 40°C (lukewarm), add the fragrance and preservative.
5. Package the product.

How to use

Apply a small amount of the scrub to moisturized skin, gently massage it in, avoiding sensitive areas, and rinse well. The foaming and non-greasy scrub removes dead skin cells, leaving the skin soft and silky.

Store the product in a cool, dry place. Avoid getting water into the container. The product will last for at least 3 months.
