Staff Answer You can add melt and pour base to this recipe, we have not tried that so it would need to be tested. Start with 10 ounces per pound of Foaming Bath Whip.

Staff Answer You can substitute the soy scrub with apricot seeds or another type of seed or exfoliant. You can also leave this out completely and just use the salt as your exfoliant. You can add an additional 1.50 oz. to make up for this ingredient. The scrub will also be white in color without the speckling from the soy scrub.

Staff Answer An extra preservative was added to handle any water that may get into the product during use. The preservative in the bath whip is enough to handle the ingredients in that whip but may not be enough to handle the extra water that may enter the product.

Staff Answer You can use the Vanilla Color Stabilizer for MP Soap.

Staff Answer Sometimes a recipe may change due to discontinued ingredients, etc. and must be revised. We would recommend going by the written recipe. You can still watch the video for the technique of making the product but follow the recipe in our Handmade 101 section. Thank you.

Staff Answer Yes, you can use Optiphen Plus as a preservative in this recipe. Directions recommend a usage of 0.75%-1.5%, which would be 0.70 oz. to 1.40 oz.

Staff Answer Any oil can be used in place of the Pumpkin Seed Oil. The Pumpkin Flakes are a larger exfoliant and can be substituted with orange peel granules or chopped oats. For a softer exfoliant, use apricot seeds, flax seed or maybe poppy seeds. And any fragrance can be used in place of the Perfect Pumpkin.

Staff Answer It is the best practice to add a preservative into all body/face scrubs. Anytime water is involved a preservative is needed, an exception to this would be if your were selling a scrub that was to be kept out of the shower and spooned out of the container. Since it is not typical to have zero water in a scrub we suggest adding a preservative.

Staff Answer It sounds like you are inspired make a super creative recipe. Good for you!! The coconut oil will have a different after touch but should be fine. The sugar crystals you want to use will be a little more rough than the pumpkin flakes. I would make a small test batch and make sure it performs the way you desire. Sounds yummy!

Staff Answer Goat milk powder would make a nice addition to this recipe. You will need to test your new formula as that variation has net been tested. I recommend testing all additions in a small batch first to allow for tweaking.

Staff Answer Yes it is fine to make substitutions with recipes! You would need to test it.

Staff Answer Yes you can. Just make sure you check the usage rates as they are different for each preservative.

Staff Answer Yes, it is OK to use the medium grain. Our Vanilla Salt Scrub uses a medium grain. http://www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com/products/vanilla-salt-scrub-kit.aspx

Staff Answer Yes you can.

Staff Answer You could add Lathanol Powder or Bubble Up to this recipe to increase the lather in this recipe. Be sure to adjust your ingredient label to reflect any substitutions. This will also require testing on your part to ensure compatibility as we have not tested this recipe with these additives.

Staff Answer Yes, sugar can be substituted. You would need to test how much you would need to add to get the desired consistency.
