Guest guest Posted June 23, 2006 Report Posted June 23, 2006 In reply to... 1. is it possible to come up with a recipe for a natural no preser scrub? 2. what can we use for packaging that will prevent leakage? Faith, I think the suggestions to put the scrub in a Malibu bottle are great. That should take care of the problem of introducing water. One thing that I am experimenting with right now is thickening the oils in my scrub a bit by adding butters to the oils. If you select the oils that you want to use and then melt in some cocoa butter and shea butter until the final oil/butter mixture is a thicker liquid, then leakage won't be a problem. It will still become liquid when the user puts the scrub on their hands, as the body temperature will melt these butters. It will take some experimenting to get just the right blend, and then you will need to put it in the Malibu bottles using a funnel...while it is warm. I have also thickened my scrubs with silica gel before. To do that you just mix in the dry powder to the oils until you get the consistency that you want. I don't think you would be able to get this kind of thickened product into Malibu bottles though. Good luck. Let us know what works out for you. Pat Tyson Pitterpat Skincare Quote
