Sugar Scrubs

[Guest guest]

Somewhere on the lists I read that one soaper said that sugar dissolved in

scrubs.

I thought how does it do that? I know it will dissolve in boiling water and

iced tea.

Last evening I placed equal parts of sugar and oil in some cups ... I plan to

compare over a weeks time any change in the granules.

I used brown sugar, white sugar and turbinado sugar.

The turbinado has very large grains. I use it in a sugar/salt foot scrub not

sure I would like to use these rather sharp edged grains on anything but my

feet. For the whole body I think not ... for hand only maybe.

Does anyone make an emulsified sugar scrub? Care to discuss what you used or

some of the pitfalls to be aware of. I have a few weeks (hopefully) to play

before the grandbabies arrive and I am eager to experiment.

Thanks,

Bobbi,

I tried turbinado sugar in an emulsified scrub and found that the sugar did

dissolve and the application was sticky. I didn't care for it.

Hi Bobbi,

When I make salt scrubs I use a hard butter, like

cocoa, shea, sal, etc. You just have to experiment as

to how much you want to use to get to the consistency

you like. It works great.
