BLUEBERRY JAM SUGAR BODY SCRUB!

BLUEBERRY JAM SUGAR BODY SCRUB

Let me begin this post by saying that this scrub smells so good you may want to eat it on a slice of toast!  But don't, it's much better used on your legs, feet, elbows, or anywhere else on your body where you may have dry skin, caloused or flaky skin.  It's full of beautiful ingredients.  I invite you to come and take a look at them with me if you will...

SUGAR AND SUGAR CANE

Sugar, regular fine sugar.  A benefit to using sugar vs salt is that sugar has small granules which are generally gentler on the skin than salt granules.  Salt granules can cause microscopic tears in the skin.  Another good reason to use sugar is that because of sugar's natural humectant properties, scrubs made with sugar are more hydrating than scrubs that are made with salt, which can strip skin of natural oils.

JOJOBA BEADS

Jojoba beads, they are made from jojoba oil, and are made in a smooth round bead of varying sizes for different uses.  As they are manipulated on the skin, they dissolve leaving your skin hydrated and moisturized from the jojoba oil itself.

POTASSIUM COCOATE

Potassium Cocoate is the potassium salt of coconut fatty acid.  It's an all natural liquid surfactant made from 100% whole coconut oil and potassium hydroxide. Because of the flash foaming properties of potassium cocoate this product is great for use in liquid soaps, shampoos, and scrubs. This product contains glycerin as a natural moisturizer.

FRACTIONATED COCONUT OIL

Fractionated Coconut Oil is a liquid oil derived from Coconut Oil. It oil is comprised of short chain fatty acids, and is extremely stable with an almost indefinite shelf life. This can be used in products such as lotions, balms and massage oils. It is a light, penetrating oil, wonderful for handmade moisturizing products as it doesn't leave that greasy feeling. It is also a great carrier for essential oils.
