fluffiest body scrub (polish)from 'creative bath lab' youtube-

Notes:
not sure which butter to use…100 cocoa 25 mango
SLSA is optional just adds a little lather
20 g of emulsifyer????? she used fractionated castor oil??? or poly 20 or poly 80…
look at fragrance usage. she used 30 g.
2 g. germall plus (check this one too)
***coconut oil-add UP TO 100 g. add 25 g. at a time. no more than 100 g. (shouldn't need more than 75)
used 150 g. sugar
snow white for color b/c of the cocoa butter color. spraying 'sparkle plenty on top.
creative bath lab:
Melt ingredients (any heating method): 20 grams emulsifying wax, 50 grams cetearyl alcohol, 20 grams stearic acid, 50 grams sodium lauryl sulfoacetate (optional), 125 grams butter (I used cocoa butter & a bit of Shea butter). Cool to 120 degrees Fahrenheit (48 degrees Celsius) before adding liquid ingredients: 20 grams emulsifier (I used hydrogenated castor oil, (it's also a foam-booster), 30 grams fragrance oil, 2 grams preservative (Germall plus). Whip mixture at room temperature- around 75 degrees Fahrenheit (24 degrees Celsius). Get mixture soft, fluffy, & even. Add 100-200 grams exfoliant (I used sugar) + 1 tablespoon (10 grams) poppy seeds. Last, add up to 100 grams (25 grams at a time) of pressed or unrefined coconut oil (the one that is solid at room temperature)! You shouldn't need more than 75 grams. Don't add too much or the scrub won't get firm enough to produce swirls. Depending on the other ingredients (like if you used a softer butter), you may only need a little bit. For a firmer, stiffer scrub add less. For a more fluffy, softer scrub, add more. ***I added 100 grams of coconut oil to recipe in video, & it was just a little bit too much. The other scrub (that I previously made) saved me! ***If using this exact recipe I'd say 75 grams would be perfect. If you add too much, you'll have to make another batch, skipping the coconut oil & then combine the 2 (like I did). ***SUBSTITUTIONS: You may change ingredients & amounts- just know it may change the outcome of the final product. Emulsifying wax & stearic acid: Pola wax, more cetearyl alcohol, or another emulsifying wax. Sodium lauryl sulfoacetate (it adds a little bit of foam & lather + it cuts the greasy feel) can be omitted or replaced with sodium lauryl sulfate or sodium cocoyl isethionate. Hydrogenated castor oil: polysorbate 80 or polysorbate 20, or another emulsifier. Use any butter & exfoliant that you want. I don't think there's a good replacement for coconut oil (it adds just the right amount of slick fluffy goodness).
