Staff Answer This kit already contains a preservative to prevent mold & mildew. If you wish to swap it our for a natural preservative, you can you AMTicide Coconut with one or our Leucidal liquids. This recipe will not turn yellow if you don't add the yellow colorant.

How much preservative is required if added?

Staff Answer We recommend you refer to the directions for each preservative. Each one has its own usage level. This would be determined by the total amount of product you are making. For this recipe, the total would be 62 ounces.

"Can I use the df moroccan and argan or df oatmeal mp base instead of the clear base? If so, do I still need the color stabilizer? Also, can I use the brown sugar raw crystals instead of white sugar? If so, do I use the same amounts listed?"

Click Here To View 1 answer(s)

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer You can swap out the soap, but you would still need the stabilizer to prevent the scrub from turning brown. Th brown brow sugar is much coarser, so it would be rougher, but it can still be done. You would have to test to find out how much brown sugar you should add.

Staff Answer Too much sugar could give the bath whip a sticky feel. You could add an oil like sweet almond, olive oil, rice bran, etc. This should make the scrub more moisturizing.

"I followed this recipe but then saw that it can be used for an ice cream style scrub I made mini scoops and am leaving them out to dry. Would they then be like a sugar scrub cube? "

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer It will be similar to a sugar scrub cube but not as hard which, actually, makes it a nicer product to use. If they do not harden enough after drying, you may need to remelt them enough to mix in about 1-2 ounces of MP soap.

Staff Answer You can substitute any fragrance or essential oil in any of our recipes but you always need to test to be sure your new fragrance/essential oil reacts well in this formula. If the oil is safe at this percentage, 1.5%, you can use any fragrance or essential oil.

Staff Answer Recommended use levels are 0.5-1% of total formula weight. Since both the soap and bath whip are preserved, adding the minimum amount, or 0.5%, would be fine. This would equal 10 ml for this recipe.

Staff Answer Yes, we have had customers substitute the soap base in this scrub recipe. The results should be the same as with the clear. If selling, you would need to change the INCI ingredient listing to reflect the new soap base.

"I noticed two people asking about "preservatives" for this recipe. I am wondering what conditions call for preservatives if it's not on the recipe list. I am new to sugar scrubs, so i don't know if I should be adding something beyond what the recipe is calling for."

Staff Answer Carol,
This product is oil-based which does not require a preservative. Preservatives are used for water-based products to prevent mold, yeast and bacterial growth. Some like to add a preservative to this product because it may be used in the shower where it comes in high contact with water, however if you keep this product on the sink and use a spoon to remove the product from the jar no preservative is needed.

"I made two batches of sugar scrubs and though they were "fluffy" going into the jars now they are "hard" as opposed to "marshmallow cream fluffy"...is this normal behavior for a sugar scrub. I have never used one or bought one already made, so I'm not sure what to expect from a sugar scrub. Despite the firmness, it smells wonderful and feels great on my skin!"

Staff Answer Hi Carol,
The 'marshmallow cream' look should be immediately after it is blended but as this product sits it should harden. Your product sounds like it came out just right!

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer Yes, if you would like, you can use it as a face scrub. But since facial skin is so different for each individual (due to sensitive skin, age, etc..) it may or may not be gentle enough. You may want to test it first for that purpose.

"When sold as a kit, why didn't it have a vanilla stablizer included? How much would you use and what type?"

Click Here To View 1 answer(s)

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer This recipe uses a fragrance oil with 0% vanilla and therefore does not need a Vanilla Color Stabilizer. However, if you were using a fragrance with a higher vanilla content you could use the Vanilla Color Stabilizer for Lotions and Washes. We have found that in our experience scrubs do not need a stabilizer even with fragrance that have a high vanilla content as they do not turn brown. Please feel free to call customer service for further assistance. Thank you! 1-800-359-0944

"I made this recipe about a week and a half ago and followed it to the letter. The only thing I didn't do was add the colorant. Today when I looked at the scrub, I noticed that it is starting to change color ever so slightly from white to a yellowish color. Is this due to the fragrance oil? Is my batch ruined? I had intended to sell or use as Christmas gifts but I'm thinking I won't now. Thanks! "

The color change is due to the fragrance oil. WSP makes a vanilla color stabilizer which should be used whenever a fragrance oil containing vanilla is involved. You could re-market it as a french vanilla scrub if it is not too yellow.
