Emulsified Sugar Scrub

I love my new Emulsified Sugar Scrub!

Their is a difference between an emulsified scrub and a regular scrub. Emulsification is when you combine different waxes, butters, oils, etc. to create a cream or lotion. The process of combining the waxes with the liquids and oils in the correct proportions is what creates a homogenized product. After heating the oils and waxes you mix it for a long period of time to make it stable enough so the water does not separate from the oils.

I employed this concept and applied it to a scrub. The result is very unique. When you use a small amount and water is added, it turns the scrub into a lotion-like substance. I use pure, finely ground cane sugar. This is a very gentle exfoliant which leaves your skin soft and glowing. A major difference that I noticed was that this scrub is not oily or runny like some other scrubs that I have used.

My "Bergamot & Lemon Body Polish" is rich and hand whipped. It has the consistency of a heavy mousse or a creamy mascarpone cheese. I would like to thank "Cookiebug" from the Soap Dish Forum for her generosity in sharing her formula. It was her "recipe" that inspired me to come up with mine.

Ingredients: Organic Olive, Castor, Apricot, Meadowfoam & Palm Kernel oils, Emulsifying waxes, Palm Stearic, Pure Cane Sugar, Jojoba Beads, Fair Trade Organic Shea & Cocoa Butters, Mild Preservative, Bergamot, Lemon & Grapefruit Essential oils.

Another thing I'd like to mention is how much I really like www.onlinelabels.com. I have been using their clear labels for a couple of years now. I have a laser printer and I really like the way the labels adapt to my printer. The quality of the labels is excellent. The price is great and the service is top rate! I used Onlinelabels.com clear laser labels for my sugar scrubs. I need to order more labels next week and will definitely be ordering from onlinelabels.com this week!
