Teach Soap

Hi All,

I've tried my first batch of sugar scrub from the Josephine Santos sugar scrub recipes on the teach soap site - see below - I have alot of oil left over and since I don't like to waist anything... I was wondering if I could reuse the leftover oils in a new batch?

Thoughts??


Breakfast for your Skin - (Oatmeal & Brown Sugar Scrub)

Exfoliates and is very moisturizing but doesn't leave a greasy feeling. Before you turn off your shower scoop a small handful of scrub into your hand. Rub gently onto your skin. Rinse.

3/4 cup Brown Sugar
1/2 cup ground oatmeal (not instant)
1/4 cup pure honey
3/4 to 1 cup (or to total saturation)
Oil of choice - I use Jojoba, Grapeseed or Sweet Almond
1/4 tsp Essential or Fragrance oil of choice (optional) Vanilla works nicely. Though this smells great on it's own.

Mix the brown sugar & oatmeal together in a large bowl. Now add the honey. Drizzle the oil over the mix. Mix well. When all your mix is saturated and sinks to the bottom of the bowl and you have oil on top you're done. Add your essential oil or fragrance oil. A six or eight ounce wide-mouthed jar works nicely. Spoon mixture in.

If there's any chance moisture or water will get into this scrub, you will need to add a preservative. Plus the oats will soften from the oil and create a perfect food for germs and bacteria to grow along with the honey. From the ingrdient list it looks pretty greasy and sticky to me. Why not add some MP base to it?

If this is something that you are considering on selling, I would convert this recipe to ozs. as cups are not very accurate.
