I have been experimenting with a sugar scrub and have a formula which leaves my skin feeling great. The problem is there are too many suds and it makes clean-up messy. I use natural ingredients and wonder if I can counteract the sudsing with a natural ingredient. Maybe some salt?
The ingredients are: rice bran oil, olive oil, sunflower oil, Coconut oil, Shea butter, polawax, grapefruit seed extract, potassium sorbate, leucidal, vitamin E, Sugar.

making for Christmas gifts and would appreciate some help.

Welcome!
What is your recipe and how much polawax are you using?

That sounds like too much polawax to me. I would halve it to 1.5 ozs.
