I'm doing a bunch of hobbies, researching more soaps & stuff,
spending time with the hubby & loved ones, lots of gaming etc.

The blog isn't in the current rotation for attention and I'm sure it's
a phase but if you need something (soaps & stuffs) or just want
some chat, please use the Contact form or leave a comment.

Mayren's Sugar Scrub Cubes - using CP/HP soap Shreds

Mayren's Sugar Scrub Cubes using
CP/HP Soap shreds the 1-2-3's Method
-----------------------------------------------

The 1-2-3's are measured in parts. This way you can resize the recipe
as you need.

1 TBS - Oils/Butters total
2 TBS - CP/HP Soap Shreds (chopped fine)
3 TBS - 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.
3 TBS if half your oils are hard butters
4 TBS if your oils are all liquid
5 TBS 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
cool down the mix

- 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.
(- 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.

((( Preservative may be added if you personally feel you want to but
it is not usually necessary in this anhydrous formula. I do
occasionally use the Optiphen preservative with these cubes for
my own various personal reasons )))

Usage:

I take between a half to a full 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 rinses off pretty well
(for me at least)

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 of your batches!
