Omg I just want to say thank you for this recipe I switched the emulsifier that you use to btms 25 and I absolutely loved it. I made a test batch yesterday of it and it’s still just as creamy as it was yesterday and feels absolutely amazing on the skin. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I made this and I love it. I too was looking for a less crumbly emulsified scrub and this it it. In trying to get this texture I was making a batch of body butter and just adding some BTMS50 and a preservative and sugar. Which is still nice but I find it leaves my shower floor too greasy. Your recipe is great. Thanks again!
One quick question...if I did want to tweak your recipe and add more moisturizing properties in the after feel could I just add more butter or oil? Would I need to change anything else? Thanks!
That is a good question...I would say adding more butter may help with that. You might have to add a bit more poly to keep the oil slick down. Another subscriber advised I try an ester for my cream, I thought I would try that with this one too. I haven't ever worked with them before, and they are pretty expensive, so I'm not sure this would be the best application for it. You could also increase the IPM, I love how that feels. Please let me know if you make any changes and your thoughts on them! I might want to try it too!🤗
I looked for that and didn't see it, I wonder if they stopped carrying it?? I did already purchase Cranberry Fizz from WSP and OOB it smells wonderful!
Hi Bonita, I think the soap base would be more of a stand alone ingredient, so you would not need the emulsifier or thickener if you used a soap base. Just use the base and add about 5% of your total in oils (25-30 % soap base, 50-60% sugar, 5% oils, 1% FO, and the preserve). Hope that helps!
Oh gosh, that is a really hard question to answer! I may do a live for new startups, stay tuned for the day and time for that! I’m hoping in the next week or so
Hello. How did you end up liking the recipe a few days later? Did it hold up the way you were hoping it would? Did it become too "crumbly"? Did it get too hard after a few days, or did the consistency stay close to the freshly made consistency? If it didn't, what "tweeks" do you think it needs?
I did end up liking it very much - it ended up being drier than last taping but it was not crumbly at all, but it wasn't so "loose" it was dripping off my hands. All in all, I won't be making any changes to the recipe, other than maybe swapping oils/butters here and there. Hope that helps! Let me know if you try it, I would love to hear what you think. That will help me become better too! 💖
@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique I tried your wonderful recipe, exactly as written, 7 days ago. It took about 5 days to reach a "perfect" texture. It's going to be hard to "re-jigger" it to make it my own. Thank you very much for sharing!
here is a link - www.sks-bottle.com/340c/fin118i.html but these are out of stock. I didn't look at the other ones. If you look for "heavy wall" that is your indication that it is short and round and not tall and round. hope this helps!
This is a video for pros because I am so confused! Which ingredient is the emulsifier? What is the polysorbate 80 used for? I'm new to this and I need to know the reason for each ingredient. I make my own sugar scrubs and they need something to hold them together. What do I buy? Mine is simply sugar, oil, fragrance, food coloring and sometimes lemon peel! Before I can get it on good, it's in the tub!
Hi Betty! Yes, this may be a bit advanced for you but let me try to help - the emulsifiers are the glyceryl stearate peg 100 stearate and the polysorbate 80. The poly 80 is mostly used to keep the oils/butters from making the shower floor too slick (it's a safety thing). Your struggle is with the scrub falling is one of the reasons I created this formula so I feel your pain. An emulsified scrub is one with an emulsifier (obviously LOL) - it keeps the oils from separating from the sugars, so no stirring needed. Stearic acid gives the scrub more body and thickness. so you need the emulsifiers, stearic acid and butters/oils. You will also need a preservative, unless this is just for yourself and you are careful not to put wet fingers in the scrub. Everything else is optional. Good Luck!
@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique thank you so much for responding. I'm still confused but, I am subscribed to you now so I'm sure I'll be learning more. Even with my faults, I enjoy your joy of doing what you do!
sorry - my pronouncing of words can leave something to be desired so I use the abbreviation 🤣🤣🤣 - isopropyl myristate , it is a fast absorbing emollient

Nice! You must be so happy 🤗 It looks like a great recipe.
I was pretty happy with the outcome! On to my orange, and then cranberry, and then who knows LOL
So happy for your success in this formula. Blessings ⭐️
Thank you so much!♥
Frosted Cranberry from Bramble Berry is good too
I looked for that and didn't see it, I wonder if they stopped carrying it?? I did already purchase Cranberry Fizz from WSP and OOB it smells wonderful!
This seems like an awesome recipe. Do you think I could incorporate soap base in this recipe?
Hi Bonita, I think the soap base would be more of a stand alone ingredient, so you would not need the emulsifier or thickener if you used a soap base. Just use the base and add about 5% of your total in oils (25-30 % soap base, 50-60% sugar, 5% oils, 1% FO, and the preserve). Hope that helps!
@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique thank you so so so so much! You're awesome!
That looks amazing 😍
Thank you sweet Alex!! I'm super proud of these 🤗💖
Hi Tammy, what would my start up costs look like to launch my body scrub and body cream business?
Oh gosh, that is a really hard question to answer! I may do a live for new startups, stay tuned for the day and time for that! I’m hoping in the next week or so
If you want a more earthy Cranberry, I have the Cranberry balsam from Natures garden and we love it!
I'm not home right now but I think I may have gotten that with my last order...can't wait to use it! Glad to hear that you like it so much!!
Thank you for sharing!
My pleasure!😀

What program do you use to make your Labels?
Hi Keya! I use Canva to design and Maestro Design (online labels) to print.
where did you get those containers looking for some low profile wide mouth ones like this.

You had me at cranberry!!
Right!?!?! I love cranberry! I found one on WSP, cranberry fizz, that I am excited to use
@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique now I'm done in. I think I need it too!
