I'm looking for a recipe that's creamy, not solid, and won't separate (meaning emulsified) body scrub recipe for the summer. I'm pretty sure someone probably asked the same question already. I did a search through this section of forum but no good luck. Anyone can point me to the right direction?!

Many thanks!

I'm guessing the liquid soap part is for lather so it's like soap, but so much water? :?:

I haven't tried this yet, but it sounded interesting. I imagine you can make it soft or more solid with just one or two adjustments.

Solid Brown Sugar Scrub

4 oz. melted melt and pour soap
8 oz. grapeseed oil or Avocado Oil
3-4 oz. brown sugar
1/2 oz. honey
Fragrance oils or essential oils (20 drops)

Mix your grapeseed oil, honey and melted melt and pour soap together. Add the brown sugar and mix together with hands. You can add your fragrance or essential oils at any point during the mixing process. Divvy up into wide-mouthed jars. Wait 24 to 48 hours for the mixture to harden into a semi-solid mixture.

I've tried a solid sugar scrub recipe using M&P, actually it is soapqueen's recipe on her blog! Anyway, it's too hard to my test, I want to go circular motion like a traditional sugar or salt scrub. But I don't like the traditional ones where it is way too greasy and oil separated after awhile. I also got another recipe from I forgot where. Now I have 2 recipes to test and I'll report:

#1 no soap no water
liquid oil 22%
butter 7%
emulsifying wax 4%
stearic acid 3%
Vitamin E 1%
sugar / salt 60%
FO 2%
preservative 1%

#2 with liquid soap
liquid oil 17%
butter 9%
emulsifying wax 6%
stearic acid 9%
liquid soap 9%
sugar / salt 46%
FO 3%
preservative 1%

If you don't mind parabens, Phenonip would be another good choice, since it's oil soluble. It works for gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, yeast and mold.

Unfortunately Optiphen is what I have right now...
Ok, made samples of both, will write about the result and photos on my blog!
