Lime & Coconut Whipped Body Scrub

You'll need a scale to make this scrub because using too much solubilizer can result in extremely cleansing scrub while using too little won't effectively wash off the greasy residue of the scrub.

Visit my blog Wild for Nature for more details and extra tips on how to make this recipe.

The process of making this sugar scrub is quite simple;

1. Weigh and combine shea butter with coconut oil in a jar/beaker/container suitable for whipping.
2. Take your hand mixer and begin whipping the mixture (at least 3 minutes) until it's double in size and it forms soft white peaks
3. Next, add in Polysorbate 80 and whip for a few more minutes
4. Add in sugar and essential oil and whip for a few more minutes
5. Add in mica and vitamin E oil and whip for another minute
6. Pour the sugar scrub into a 150g container. And that's it! You've just made a creamy fluffy whipped sugar scrub!

To use this scrub, scoop a small amount of it from the container and put it into a shower-safe cup to bring into the shower (and leave this main batch somewhere dry and safe, away from water and humidity). This recipe is preservative-free, so water can cause mold and bacteria to grow in the scrub.

Substitutions and tips:

• Substitute lime essential oil for a different one of your choice (but then this won’t be a lime&coconut body scrub!)
• Use complete emulsifying wax instead of Polysorbate 80 but you’ll have to redo the measurements
• Mica powder is optional
• This body scrub doesn’t contain any preservatives, so keep it somewhere dry, away from water and humidity. Optionally, you can add in an oil-soluble preservative if you'll be gifting this scrub
