Emulsified Sugar Scrubs
These are our Emulsified Sugar Scrub Recipes! They leave your skin feeling soft, pampered and smooth, with no greasy after feel. Economical and easy to make, these formulations include our Aussie Spa Minerals. These differ to regular sugar/salt scrubs in that they have Emulsifying Waxes in the Oil Phase ingredients, and that means the oils are combined into a more solid form together with the exfoliating ingredients.
It is really important to break up the scrub into granules as it cools down and sets, so that the end texture resembles bread crumbs. By doing this, the scrub is ready to hydrate just prior to use. Presented in a Bail Jar, 240ml Double Wall Jar or Wide Necked Tub with Spa Spatula, Cosmetic Spatula or Wooden Scoop they look wonderful.
Good Morning!
This scrub is perfect to wake up to - fresh and zingy! This formulation uses a blend of Artisan Fragrance and Essential Oils, but if you prefer to use one or the other, Grapefruit Essential Oil and Lime Essential Oil (a fresh and zingy combination), work wonderfully well to wake both body and mind. If you wish to use a Fragrance Oil only Energy Fragrance is fantastic!

To Customise to Salt Scrubs
Sugar can be substituted with salt in scrub recipes, as can some other exfoliants.
You may need to adjust the salt down a little in these recipes, and also if using our Coarse Sea Salt grind it a little finer in a coffee grinder or food processor.
Note: Its a good idea to avoid using scrubs within a few days of an important event ie. your wedding, Year 12 Ball etc, because your skin can develop temporary blotches when it is scrubbed. Ensure you exfoliate about one week prior to the event just to be sure.
