Pineapple Sugar Scrub Cube Project
Solid sugar scrubs have all the same exfoliating benefits, but they’re a little easier to handle. They also look super cute!
This recipe is made with watermelon oil, sugar, and melt and pour soap base. 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:
Recipe
INGREDIENTS:
- Watermelon Oil - 4 oz
- Yellow Mica - 1 oz
- SFIC White Melt And Pour Soap Base - 1 lb
- Natural Lychee Pineapple Fragrance Oil - Trial Size
EQUIPMENT:
- 12 Bar Square Silicone Mold - 1 mold
Instructions
You will need:
- 12 Bar Square Silicone Mold
- 4 oz. White Melt and Pour Soap Base
- 4 oz. Watermelon Oil
- 0.3 oz. Natural Lychee PineappleFragrance Oil
- 12 oz. Cane Sugar (from home)
- Yellow Mica
Follow these steps:
1
Chop 4 ounces of White Melt and Pour Soap base into small uniform cubes. Place them in a large heat-safe container. Add 4 ounces of watermelon oil. Melt in the microwave using 30 second bursts. Add 0.3 ounces of Natural Lychee Pineapple Fragrance Oil. Stir thoroughly.
2
Measure 12 ounces of cane sugar to a large mixing bowl. Add about 1/4 teaspoon of Yellow Mica and stir to combine.
3
Add the melted soap and oil mixture to the sugar and 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 plastic cube 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.
6
To use, warm up the cube with hot water and break it apart. Apply to damp skin and scrub gently.
