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! :)
