Ingredients You’ll Need:

• Xanthan Gum: Gives the scrub its unique, gummy texture.
• SCI (Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate): Provides a creamy lather, making the scrub gentle and cleansing.
• Kaolin Clay: Gently purifies and cleanses the skin, removing impurities without stripping natural oils.
• Sugar: Acts as a natural exfoliant, gently removing dead skin cells.
• Cornstarch: Soothes the skin and helps control oil production.
• Olive Oil: Moisturizes the skin, leaving it soft and supple.
• Glycerin: A humectant that draws moisture into the skin, ensuring the scrub doesn’t strip the skin of its natural oils.
• Polysorbate 80: Helps the oil and water in the scrub mix nicely, ensuring it washes off easily without leaving an oily residue.
• Decyl Glucoside: A gentle cleanser suitable for all skin types.

Recipe for 25O g Batch :

• 128,75g Sugar
• 12,5g Clay
• 20g Olive Oil
• 12,5g Polysorbate 80
• 25g Glucoside
• 15g Cornstarch
• 1,25g Mica powder
• 1,25g Fragrance oil
• 7,5g Xanthan Gum
• 12,5g SCI
• 12,5g Glycerin
• 1,25g Preservative

The Process:

1. Weigh Your Ingredients: Start by accurately measuring the ingredients for a 250-gram batch. Adjust the quantities based on the size of the batch you wish to make.
   
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the Kaolin clay, sugar, xanthan gum, and cornstarch. This creates a consistent base for the scrub.
   
3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the olive oil, glycerin, polysorbate 80, and decyl glucoside. Mix thoroughly until well combined, and the mixture forms a cohesive paste.
   
4. Knead the Mixture: Work the mixture with your hands to ensure a smooth, uniform texture. This step is crucial for achieving the ideal consistency of the candy scrub.
   
5. Color Your Scrub: Divide the paste into two separate bowls. Color one batch light purple and the other light rose, mixing each until the color is even throughout.
   
6. Form the Balls: Roll the paste into small balls, alternating colors for a visually appealing mix.
   
7. Storage: Store the scrub in a clean, dry jar. If you haven’t used a preservative, ensure the jar stays dry and only take out what you need for each use to avoid contamination.
   

Preserving Your Scrub:

Adding a preservative is optional but recommended if you plan to keep the scrub for an extended period or if there’s a risk of water contamination. This simple addition can extend the life of your scrub, ensuring it remains safe and effective.
