What’s in This Whipped Sugar Scrub Recipe
Almond Oil
Almond oil acts as a carrier oil, effectively diluting essential oils to ensure they are safe for your skin. This nourishing oil deeply moisturizes without clogging pores, making it perfect for all skin types. Almond oil promotes healthy, radiant skin, leaving it soft, smooth, and beautifully hydrated after every use.
Emulsifying Wax
Emulsifying Wax improves the consistency of your whipped sugar scrub, giving it a smooth and luxurious texture. It also helps to moisturize your skin effectively. Best of all, emulsifying wax hydrates without leaving behind a greasy film, providing a clean and refreshed feel whenever you use it.
Beeswax
Beeswax helps to lock in moisture, creating a barrier that keeps your skin hydrated while shielding it from environmental irritants. It also supports skin cell regeneration, leaving your skin feeling soft, smooth, and naturally radiant.
Coconut Oil (Solid)
Coconut Oil deeply moisturizes, leaving your skin feeling nourished and hydrated. Its natural properties support the healing of dry or damaged skin, making it an excellent choice for soothing irritation. Coconut oil also contains antioxidants that help protect your skin, ensuring it stays healthy and glowing.
Fir Needle Essential Oil
Fir Needle Essential Oil offers a refreshingly crisp evergreen aroma that brings the serenity of nature into your space. Its calming properties make it a powerful ally in soothing emotions, helping to ease stress and promote relaxation.
Blood Orange Essential Oil
Blood Orange Essential Oil boasts a citrusy and tangy aroma that is uplifting and centering. Its invigorating scent can brighten your mood while helping you stay grounded during busy days. Additionally, it supports youthful, glowing skin, making it a delightful and effective addition to your self-care routine.
Sugar
Sugar is a simple yet powerful ingredient for natural skincare, renowned for its gentle exfoliating properties. Its granular texture helps to slough away dead skin cells, revealing smoother and brighter skin underneath.
Things to Remember When Using This Recipe
Always dilute an essential oil when using it on the skin. This essential oil recipe is unlikely to cause skin irritation when diluted properly. If the oil has oxidized (been left with the cap off for long periods of time), it is more likely to cause skin irritation. Check out this dilution chart for diluting this essential oil properly.
If you are pregnant, consult your doctor prior to use.
When using essential oils around children, caution should be taken.
