Recipe: Gentle Pink Sand Facial Scrub

Create a mild yet effective facial scrub that exfoliates, brightens, and leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth.

Ingredients:

• 50 g Sweet almond oil

• 10 g Fine Pink Sand

• 5 g Emulsifying wax (like Olivem 1000)

• 5 g Shea butter

• 1 g Vitamin E

• 0.5 g Preservative (e.g., Cosgard)

• Optional: a few drops of essential oil (e.g., Geranium or Lavender)

Instructions for Preparation:

Combine and Melt the Oil Phase: In a heat-resistant beaker, combine the sweet almond oil, shea butter, and emulsifying wax. Heat in a double boiler until all ingredients are completely melted and the mixture is clear.

Cool Down and Add Actives: Remove the beaker from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly to around 40-45°C. Add the Fine Pink Sand and mix thoroughly until it's evenly dispersed. This will create the scrubbing effect.

Add the Preservative and Other Actives: Once the mixture is below 40°C, add the Vitamin E, preservative, and any optional essential oils. Stir well to ensure an even distribution.

Pour and Cool: Transfer the scrub into a clean, sanitized jar. Let it cool completely before sealing.

Recommendations for use:

• Texture: This recipe creates a creamy scrub that is easy to apply and rinse off. You can adjust the amount of Fine Pink Sand to change the level of exfoliation.

• Storage: Store the finished scrub in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. The preservative is essential to prevent bacterial growth.

• Application: To use, apply a small amount of the scrub to a clean, damp face. Gently massage in a circular motion for 1-2 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with warm water. Use 1-2 times per week.
