Set out all the ingredients.
Prepare your equipment.
In a mixing jug, combine Sweet Almond Oil, Jojoba Oil, Vitamin E, Strawberry Natural Lip Flavour and Sweet Lips Sweetener. Don't forget to tare your scales between each ingredient to ensure accurate measuring.
Stir until well blended.
Add a pinch of Pink Mica if desired and mix for colour distribution (optional).
Gradually add sugar into the oil mixture, stirring with a spatula until fully incorporated and a soft, even scrub texture is achieved.
Stir well to combine.
Spoon the finished scrub into 9 × 15ml lip scrub jars, gently tapping to remove air pockets, and seal. Be careful not to overfill if using the casker seal.
Pro tips for lip scrub texture:
Too dry → add 1–2 g extra oil
Too soft → add 2–3 g extra sugar
Store in a cool, dry place, and use within 6 months.
Avoid water entering jars to reduce spoilage risk.
