Usage Tips:
- Incorporation: As these granules are insoluble, they should be suspended in a gel, cream, or oil base. Stir well to ensure even distribution, especially if the base is fluid.
- Viscosity: For best suspension, use in formulations with a moderate to high viscosity to prevent the granules from settling at the bottom of the container.
- Concentration: Adjust the concentration based on the desired exfoliating strength. Start with a lower percentage and increase gradually if a stronger scrub is desired.

Instructions for Preparation:
- Sanitize: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, containers) with isopropyl alcohol and allow them to air dry completely.
- Prepare Phase A (Aqueous Phase): In a heat-resistant beaker, combine distilled water and glycerin. Heat gently to 70-75°C (158-167°F) to ensure even dissolution.
- Prepare Phase B (Oil Phase): In a separate heat-resistant beaker, combine jojoba oil, emulsifying wax, and cetyl alcohol. Heat gently to 70-75°C (158-167°F) until all solids are completely melted.
- Emulsification: Slowly pour the hot aqueous phase (Phase A) into the hot oil phase (Phase B) while continuously stirring with a stick blender or whisk. Blend until a smooth, uniform emulsion forms. Continue blending intermittently as the mixture cools.
- Cool Down: Allow the emulsion to cool to below 40°C (104°F), continuing to stir occasionally to ensure even cooling and to prevent a film from forming.
- Add Phase C (Cool Down Phase): Once the emulsion has cooled to below 40°C, add the Pink Exfoliating Granules, preservative, fragrance oil, and Vitamin E. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed, paying special attention to dispersing the granules thoroughly.
- Check pH (Recommended): Test the pH of your finished scrub. An ideal pH for a face scrub is typically between 5.0 and 6.0. Adjust if necessary using a tiny drop of diluted lactic acid to lower pH or diluted baking soda solution to raise pH.
- Package: Transfer the finished scrub into a clean, sterile jar or tube.
Recommendations for Application and Use:
- Granule Dispersion: Since the granules are insoluble, ensure your base has sufficient viscosity to keep them suspended. Stir the product before each use if you notice any settling.
- Gentle Application: Apply a small amount of the scrub to damp skin. Gently massage in circular motions, avoiding the eye area. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
- Frequency: For most skin types, using this scrub 1-2 times per week is sufficient. Adjust based on individual skin sensitivity.
- Storage: Store the scrub in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. The preservative ensures product stability and shelf life.
- Not for Internal Use: This product is for external, topical use only. Do not ingest.
- Visual Appeal: The pink granules add a lovely visual element to your product. Consider using clear or lightly tinted packaging to showcase them.
