Recipe: Warming Orange and Cinnamon Sugar Scrub
Create an invigorating and festive sugar scrub for the body that exfoliates and leaves the skin with the cozy scent of Orange and Cinnamon.
Ingredients:
-
One hundred and eighty grams Granulated Sugar (Exfoliant)
-
Forty grams Carrier Oil (e.g., Grapeseed or Sunflower Oil) (Moisturizing Base)
-
Twenty grams Shea Butter (Solid Emollient)
-
Ten grams Polysorbate 80 (Emulsifier for rinse-off)
-
Two grams (approx. 40-50 drops) Fragrance Oil "Orange and Cinnamon"
-
One gram Cinnamon Powder (Natural Color/Decoration)
Instructions for Preparation:
First Step: Gently melt the Shea Butter in a heat-safe bowl until just liquid. Remove from heat and add the Carrier Oil and the Polysorbate 80. Stir well to combine the oil phase thoroughly.
Second Step: In a separate, large bowl, measure the Granulated Sugar and Cinnamon Powder. Stir the dry ingredients until the cinnamon is evenly distributed.
Third Step: Slowly pour the combined oil mixture over the sugar and cinnamon blend. Mix with a spoon or spatula until all the sugar is evenly coated, ensuring a homogenous, moist scrub texture.
Fourth Step: Add the Fragrance Oil "Orange and Cinnamon". Mix thoroughly for one to two minutes to ensure the scent is fully incorporated and stable throughout the scrub.
Fifth Step: Transfer the finished sugar scrub into clean, airtight jars.
Recommendations for Application and Storage:
-
Fragrance Load: The recipe uses a 1% fragrance load, which is strong and effective for a wash-off product like a sugar scrub, ensuring the festive aroma is prominent.
-
Polysorbate 80: Including Polysorbate 80 is highly recommended for scrubs, as it acts as an emulsifier, allowing the scrub to rinse off cleanly without leaving a greasy residue in the tub or on the skin.
-
Usage: Use once or twice a week on damp skin in the shower. Massage gently, then rinse thoroughly.
-
Storage: Store the scrub in a cool, dry place. Always use clean, dry hands or a scoop to prevent water contamination, which can reduce shelf life.
