Recipe: Seasonal Gingerbread Sugar Scrub
Create a rich, emulsified sugar scrub that exfoliates and moisturizes while enveloping the user in the warm, comforting scent of Gingerbread Fragrance Oil.
Ingredients:
-
Seventy grams Granulated Sugar (Exfoliant)
-
Twenty grams Shea Butter (Moisturizer)
-
Five grams Emulsifying Wax (To prevent oily residue)
-
Three grams Carrier Oil (e.g., Sunflower or Rice Bran)
-
One gram Preservative (e.g., Liquid Germall Plus)
-
Zero point eight grams (approx. 16-20 drops) Fragrance Oil "Gingerbread"
Instructions for Preparation:
First Step: Combine the Shea Butter, Emulsifying Wax, and Carrier Oil in a heat-safe container. Gently melt them in a double boiler until fully liquefied and clear.
Second Step: Remove the container from the heat and allow the oil mixture to cool slightly to below forty degrees Celsius (40°C) to protect the fragrance and preservative.
Third Step: Add the Preservative and the Fragrance Oil "Gingerbread" to the melted mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
Fourth Step: Pour the liquid oil mixture over the Granulated Sugar in a separate bowl. Mix until the sugar is fully coated and the scrub has a uniform consistency.
Fifth Step: Transfer the finished sugar scrub into clean, airtight jars (such as the "Sahara" 150 ml jar).
Recommendations for Application and Storage:
-
Recommended Dosage: The Gingerbread Fragrance Oil is used at approximately 0.8% in this recipe, which provides a strong, satisfying aroma suitable for a wash-off product. Adjust the quantity slightly based on your preference.
-
Emulsification: The addition of emulsifying wax is key; it ensures the scrub washes off easily with water, leaving the skin soft but not greasy.
-
Usage: Apply a scoop of the scrub to wet skin in the shower, massage in circular motions, and rinse off. Use once or twice per week.
-
Storage: Store the scrub in a cool, dry place. The use of a preservative is mandatory as sugar scrubs inevitably come into contact with water during use.
