Here is a fun, easy and inexpensive DIY Vanilla and Cocoa Sugar Scrub Cubes Recipe.
Ingredients:
For Vanilla Sugar Cubes
4 oz white sugar
.60 oz. soap base
1 oz unrefined cocoa butter from Better Shea Butter
1/2 tablespoon jojoba oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Cocoa Sugar Cubes
4 oz brown sugar
.60 oz. soap base
1 oz unrefined cocoa butter from Better Shea Butter
1/2 tablespoon jojoba oil
2 teaspoons cocoa powder
How to:
Vanilla Sugar Cubes
– Put the white sugar in a cup, stir in your vanilla extract and set aside
– Use a double boiler (a microwave is ok too, but be careful not to burn your butter) and melt the cocoa butter and the soap base together. Keep stirring to mix the butter and soap evenly.
– Remove the cocoa butter and the soap from the heat and stir in the jojoba oil
– Slowly pour the sugar and vanilla mix into your cocoa-soap-jojoba mixture while stirring to ensure all the sugar is coated
– Compact your sugar scrub in silicon molds of your choice (we used a small squares mold) and set it aside for a couple of hours until the cubes are hardened and are ready to be popped out of the molds
