Guest guest Posted October 6, 2002 Report Share Posted October 6, 2002 Hi Penny sure ill send it to you-----if you want to make 8oz heres what you do=1 cup of brown sugar-- i cup of oil (almond,safflower,extra vigin oil) 10 drops of your EO's of your choice. you can add less than 10 drops or more depending on your personal preference. Mix everything up in a zip lock bag....mix and kneed with your fingers until completely blended then add to your containers ! Some people use glass containers.....i feel safer with plastic especially if youre using it in the shower....be careful it makes your tub slippery! I just finished making brown sugar orange-spice scrubs and peppermint scrubs, & white sugar Jasmine scrubs! Came out great! Experiment with your brown sugars----like add vanilla extract-cinnamon oil, rum oil, toffee oil coffee oil!!!! HTH~ask me anything and ill do my best to help you anytime! *hugs*~Misty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 30, 2003 Report Share Posted January 30, 2003 While I really have gotten alot of personal email requests for this recipe, I have decided to post a general " laundry list " of ingredients for those of you who are willing to play with a recipe. Sorry to not give exact amounts, but I worked long and hard on this, and I also sell this, So-here goes: Start with around 2 lbs. of Brown Sugar (dk) Add to it, some sweet almond oil, Apricot seed oil, and Emu oil Also, some EOs of Ruby Grapefruit,Fresh Ginger, Sweet Orange, Lemon, Helichrisum, and some others in the same area (you get the drift). I also add Phenonip to this, to avoid " nasties " when dipping wet fingers in and out of the jar. This is awesome, your skin feels so good, I use it in the shower, and by the time I get out my skin feels like a Baby's. Yep, it tastes good, but dont eat it! Have fun! Ronnie PS-Misty-Nope-dont want to sell it, I am a " product collector " -heehee. jk I just dont use it anymore, because of the time involved. Could be sometime I will use it, when I HAVE the time. When that is? Who knows? For now my Scrub works great, is less time, and is always in my shower! Ladies-when using this scrub, or ANY scrub dont forget those HANDS!!

It did not sperate nor have hard lumps and seemed really nice to me. I mixed 1 cup packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons almond oil, 2 tablespoons apricot kernel oil, 1/3 cup finely ground oatmeal, 1/2 teaspoon vitamin E oil, and fragrance or essential oil to suit your taste.

Just curious, do you make up that much for yourself to use at one time? I could never get thru that much in months. Or is this recipe for you and others? thanks Cate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2003 Report Share Posted January 31, 2003 It is a preservative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 31, 2003 Report Share Posted January 31, 2003 Regarding the brown sugar scrub that seperated; I wonder did you put any water in it. I don't put it in mine and it doesn't get lumps. Cate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 31, 2003 Report Share Posted January 31, 2003 Hi, did you put honey in your brown sugar scrub? I made one awhile ago that had honey in it and it lumped up pretty bad. It didn't seperate, but the lumps were hard and unattractive. Leanna in Alberta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a big batch and added a tbsp to mine and havent had any problems so far. What I used was brown sugar, sweet almond and grapeseed oil, honey, and glycerine - it's not sticky at all, oily though (but I guess it's supposed to be right?) I made a harder brown sugar and not so much liqudiy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 3, 2003 Report Share Posted February 3, 2003 Hi . I had the scrub for about a week at the most! It really did work well, and feel great, except for the lumps! It was the first brown sugar scrub I had attempted and maybe I didn't mix it properly so it got " lumpy " . Not sure, but I have since made one that included raw brown sugar, and so far that one is really holding up well. Unfortunately, that one has aloe vera gel( the real stuff, it's thin) and I don't like how the smell of that comes through. More tweeking and more experimenting to come! Leanna in Alberta.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 I need to make up some brown sugar scrub, and most of the recipes that I have found require Vitamin E oil which I do not have. Can I use Opthimum (spelling) or do you have any other suggestions? I have Avacado Oil but once it is opened I have to refridgerate it.

You can purchase Vitamin E capsules at any pharmacy, and pop them open with a pin, to get that stuff in your scrub. It depends on the size of your batch, but vitamin E acts as an antioxidant for the oils--it extends their shelf life.
