Cranberry Sugar Scrub Cubes Project
Solid sugar scrubs have all the same exfoliating benefits, but they’re a little easier to handle.
This recipe is made with goat milk soap base, sweet almond oil, cranberry seeds, and sugar. The bars come together in about 15 minutes, and they're ready to use or gift once they're fully cool and hard.
To use, warm the cube in water and then break it apart in your hands. Apply to damp skin. The cube will lather, scrub, and moisturize all at once.

What You Need:

Sweet Almond Oil - 1 lb
Cranberry Seeds - 1 oz
Cranberry Fig Fragrance Oil - 2 oz
12 Bar Square Silicone Mold - 1 mold
Recipe
INGREDIENTS:
- SFIC Goat Milk Melt And Pour Soap Base - 1 lb
- Sweet Almond Oil - 1 lb
- Cranberry Seeds - 1 oz
- Cranberry Fig Fragrance Oil - 2 oz
EQUIPMENT:
- 12 Bar Square Silicone Mold - 1 mold
Instructions
You will need:
- 12 Bar Square Silicone Mold
- 6 oz. Goat Milk Melt and Pour Soap Base
- 6 oz. Sweet Almond Oil
- 0.5 oz. Cranberry Fig Fragrance Oil
- 18 oz. Cane Sugar (from home)
- 0.2 oz. Cranberry Seeds
Follow these steps:
1
Chop 6 ounces of Goat Milk Melt and Pour Soap base into small uniform cubes. Place them in a large heat-safe container. Add 6 ounces of sweet almond oil. Melt in the microwave using 30 second bursts.
2
Add 0.5 ounces of Cranberry Fig Fragrance Oil and 0.2 ounces of cranberry seeds. Stir thoroughly.
3
Add 18 ounces of cane sugar to the melted soap and oil mixture. Stir very quickly to combine.
4
The temperature of the mixture drops quickly, which makes it thick and gloopy. The ideal pouring temperature is around 130-140° F. If the soap is too thick to pour, reheat in the microwave using 10-15 second bursts. Quickly pour into the molds.
5
Allow the scrubs to fully cool and harden for several hours, up to overnight. Once hardened, unmold and cut each bar into 9 cubes.
*Note: This project orginally used Small Cubes Mold and Packages, which have been discontinued. Using the square silicone mold uses a slightly different method but creates a similar end product.
To use, warm up the cube with hot water and break it apart. Apply to damp skin and scrub gently.
