The 1-2-3's are measured in parts (or units) This way you can resize the recipe as you need.
(please use a scale for best results - weigh one part of your materials and use that as your base )
1 Part - Oils/Butters total
2 Part - CP/HP Soap Shreds (chopped fine)
3 Part - Sugars (I mix white and raw sugars for texture)
Directions:
-*- In a microwave-safe container, combine Oils with Soap (and colorant) and heat in short bursts. Stir in-between bursts until the mix is smooth but not burnt.
(you can add a little of the sugar in this to make the base more compliant in the next step)
-*- To your hot base add the Sugar:
a. 3 Parts if half your oils are hard butters
b. 4 Parts if your oils are all liquid
c. 5 Parts if your oils are all Thin liquids or if you want a super crumbly cube.
-*- Quickly add the FO/EO after the sugar is starting to incorporate and the mix is starting to cool down.
-*- Mix until the batch looks like a dough ball of sorts. If it's not a dough ball then your bars may not firm up as well because the mix is not incorporated enough.
(- Please note that if you added mostly hard butters the batch should still look like a dough ball but softer and less firm until completely cooled. -)
-*- Put the mix into your mold. (i like silicone molds and use a stainless spoon for smoothing the tops of my cubes while in the mold)
-*- Put the mold into the freezer for about 5 to 10 minutes then pop out and let air dry for a day or so before storing in a dry and preferably airtight container.
((( A preservative may be added if you personally feel you want to but it is not usually necessary in this anhydrous formula. I do use OptiphenND or Liquid Germall Plus preservative with these cubes --- follow the preservative instructions to use them in the correct phase )))

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Usage of final product:
I take a quarter to a half of a cube (based on the Wilton brownie pan) to the shower with me. I wet the cube then make a paste from it in my hands and apply it to my skin. Using more water I rub and scrub it over my skin and it forms a very light lather then rinse off.
As with most sugar scrubs - the tub/shower will be a little slick from the oils so beware.

I hope you enjoy your Solid sugar scrub cubes made with soap shreds vs MP or Melt & Pour. I like the feel of regular soap shreds much better.
Please share your experiences with your batches! :)

Those look freaking awesome!! Thanks for the recipe. When I figure out where to get all that stuff, I might try it. :D
ReplyDeleteOoh, I also posted about your soaps on my blog, with a few pictures. I really enjoyed them, thank you so much for sending them!!
Thanks! I'm pretty sure some of these lil gems are coming your way Kris (wink)and Thank you sooo much for blogging! I'm going over there right now to read the post.
ReplyDeleteYay!! They're so pretty! It's been my pleasure, I just wish I'd had time to get it done earlier.
ReplyDeleteI assume the measurements are by weight but just checking. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGood assumption, however actually it's measured in "parts", because i like to let people be responsible for their own "best practices".
ReplyDeleteFor the record: When I make the scrubs for myself or
others I use Grams to measure components.
TBS are used here as an example of measurement because
more people identify with TBS, and it helps to drive home
the PARTS of (1-2-3) for easy remembering.
I am confused by the paragraph:
ReplyDelete3 Parts if half your oils are hard butters
4 Parts if your oils are all liquid
5 Parts if your oils are all Thin liquids or if you want a super crumbly cube.
The directions say 1 part oil/butters. Would you please explain this thanks
ReplyDeleteThis is not a recipe written for beginners. If you know more about your oils & butters this step is more understandable. Please make sure you understand how your oils and butters act in all your uses of them.
This is step 3 - adding the Sugar step.
How many Parts or Units of Sugar depends on what you chose to use as your oils/butters in Step 1.
To your hot base add the Sugar.
a. if half your oils are hard butters at room temp then add 3 parts of Sugar
b. if your oils are all liquid at room temp then add 4 parts of Sugar
c. if your oils are all Thin liquids at room temp or if you want a super crumbly cube then use 5 parts of Sugar
