Softening skin scrub Sugar Plum

To make it, you only need a few natural ingredients and a little time. In addition, the scrub is perfect as an original gift under the tree or for a birthday.

Recently, emulsified scrubs have become very popular, not only with you, but also with us. We have always loved them, but now we can no longer imagine a bath or shower without them. A quality scrub leaves the skin velvety soft, cared for and hydrated - thanks to this, you often do not need to use body lotion after the bath. After the shower, all you have to do is dry yourself, put on your pajamas and snuggle up under the duvet. An ideal scenario for cold winter evenings, what do you say? :)

Creamy texture with the magic of a sugar base

The Sugar Plum softening body scrub meets all these requirements. The creamy base contains a rich dose of granulated sugar, which gently but effectively exfoliates the skin. The emulsified scrub changes its consistency to a silky milky one upon contact with water, and at the same time, thanks to the oils used, leaves the skin perfectly nourished and hydrated.

Plum oil – the star of Christmas

The basis of this peeling is coconut oil enriched with plum oil, the star of the recipe. Plum oil is a luxurious, cold-pressed oil obtained from plum kernels. It has a light consistency, absorbs quickly and is ideal for skin care. It contains vitamin E, antioxidants and unsaturated fatty acids that help hydrate, regenerate and protect the skin from premature aging. At the same time, it supports skin elasticity and is also suitable for sensitive or dry skin.

You will love plum oil not only for its effects, but also for its unique scent. The slightly nutty touch with notes of almond and marzipan will turn every use of the peeling into a real experience. This scent is absolutely irresistible during the holiday season.

Perfect consistency and easy rinsing

The creamy texture and softness of the mixture is provided by cetearyl alcohol, which is ideal for thickening scrubs. Not only is it affordable, but it also guarantees the creaminess and fluffiness of the product. The emulsifier Polysorbate 80 ensures that the oils in the scrub combine beautifully when in contact with water. Thanks to this, the scrub rinses off easily and does not leave greasy marks on the bath.

The scrub smells lovely on its own, so adding additional scents is not necessary. However, if you want something really sensual, you can add the Plum base with the Sugar Plum scent, as we did.

So, shall we go for it?

What is needed for this?

We are warming up

- 17.5 grams of coconut oil

- 10 grams of Polysorbate 80

- 8.75 grams of plum oil

- 13 grams of cetearyl alcohol

After heating, stir in

- 45.5 grams of granulated sugar

- 4 grams of Alkanna powder

- 0.5 grams of mica powder White with blue reflections

After cooling, stir in

- 0.25 grams of vitamin E

- 0.5 grams of essential oil Plum, Sugar plum

How to do it?

Prepare a water bath and melt the fats in it.

Measure the Polysorbate 80, coconut oil, plum oil, and cetearyl alcohol into a heatproof bowl. Place the bowl in a water bath and slowly melt over low heat.

Mix the dry ingredients.

Meanwhile, mix the sugar, alkanna powder, and mica powder in a bowl. This mixture will give the scrub a beautiful color and texture.

Combine all the ingredients.

Once the oils and cetearyl alcohol have dissolved in the water bath, remove the container from the bath. Gradually add the prepared sugar mixture to the liquid mixture. Mix thoroughly. Don't be alarmed if the mixture is still thin - it will naturally thicken as it cools.

Add fragrance and vitamin E.

While the mixture is cooling and thickening, stir in the essential oil and vitamin E. Mix well again to ensure all ingredients are evenly combined. The cooling mixture will gradually reach a consistency that is ideal for application. How quickly the mixture thickens depends on the ambient temperature.

Fill into the container.

Once the mixture has reached a texture similar to rice porridge, transfer it to the prepared container. A 100 ml jar is ideal. Choose one that is both practical and stylish.

Let it rest.

Let the finished scrub rest until the next day so that all the ingredients can combine perfectly. Then you can enjoy its beneficial effects during your bath!
