please help - usage of Phenonip...

[Guest guest]

Hello all! I'm in the process of designing a sugar/salt scrub

recipe and have everything including the Phenonip. I know that

the Phenonip is to be used at a maximum of 1%. My question: is

it to be used at 1% of the OILS in the recipe (or the liquid portion)

or at 1% of the final product (Oils and Salts). It seems to me that

it would be 1% of the oils, as the salt/sugar would be akin to

solid beads in an oily mixture as they only add mass and do not

contribute to the liquid portion. I've totally confused myself! I've

looked in the archives and cannot find the answer. Can anyone

help me with this?

Also, I've heard conflicting data regarding sugar in scrubs

causing infections. I feel this is nonsense, but to be on the safe

side I would like to ask you all.

Thanks so much, this is such a valuable forum
