What’s in This Scrub Bar Recipe
Glycerin Melt and Pour Soap Base
Glycerin Melt-And-Pour Soap Base is the foundation of this recipe, and it’s as easy to use as it is versatile. This super clear soap base allows you to create stunning, translucent soap bars perfect for showcasing the vibrant colors and natural ingredients you choose to add. Best of all, it’s SLS-free, PEG-free, and paraben-free, making it a safe and gentle choice for your skin.
Yellow Gold Mica Powder
Yellow Gold Mica Powder is a show-stopping addition to your DIY soap-making adventure. This cruelty-free, vegan-friendly, hypoallergenic, and sulfate-free powder adds a beautiful shimmer and rich golden hue to your creations.
Citrus Burst Essential Oil Blend
With its fresh and citrusy aroma, Citrus Burst Essential Oil Blend is designed to cleanse your skin, energize your mind, and uplift your spirits. Made with pure essential oils, it’s an excellent choice for those looking to add a bright and invigorating scent to their soaps.
Sugar
Sugar is a fantastic natural exfoliant that’s gentle on the skin while effectively removing dead cells and unclogging pores. Its fine texture makes it suitable for various skin types, leaving your skin feeling smooth, refreshed, and revitalized.
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.
