- Mica powder, pink color
- Rose fragrance oil
- Optional dried rose petals for decoration
Tools Needed

- Large bowl
- Large silicone spatula
- Tablespoon

Prior to use, ensure that both your utensils and containers are properly cleaned and disinfected. Wash them with warm soapy water, dry with a tissue, and then sanitize by spraying with 70% medical alcohol. Wipe them clean and let them air dry before use.
Steps: DIY Solid Scrub Bar
1- Cut up 112 grams (3.95 oz) of glycerine soap into cube pieces.
2- Put the glycerine soap pieces in a medium-sized glass beaker.
3- Add 50 grams (1.76 oz) of jojoba oil.
4- Add 50 grams (1.76 oz) of grapeseed oil.
5- Add 8 grams (0.28 oz) of coconut oil.
6- Heat and melt the contents of the beaker in a bain-marie (hot water bath). A bain-marie is done by placing the beaker containing the glycerine soap and the oils in a larger pot of hot steaming water. This will gradually melt the contents. Avoid boiling.
While the soap and oils are melting in the bain-marie, we can prepare the remaining ingredients:
7- In a separate large bowl, put 50 grams (1.76 oz) of shea butter.
8- Add 112 grams (3.95 oz) of white sugar to the shea butter.
9- Use a large silicone spatula to combine the shea butter and the white sugar, mixing and kneading them thoroughly until a uniform consistency is achieved.
10- Add a small amount of mica powder, pink color, to the mixture of shea butter and sugar.
11- Mix the mica powder with the shea butter and sugar, kneading the contents with the spatula.
12- Add 10 drops of rose fragrance oil to the mixture of shea butter and sugar.
13- The glycerine soap and the oils will have melted by now. Pour them over the mixture of shea butter and sugar.
14- Mix the contents thoroughly and rigorously with a tablespoon.
15- Before pouring the scrub mixture into the mold, sprinkle some dried rose petals in the mold for decoration.
16- Pour the scrub mixture into the mold.
17- Allow the scrub to cool and solidify completely.
18- Remove the DIY solid scrub bars from the mold. Allow the bars to dry for 24 hours, then they are ready for use.
How to Use: DIY Solid Scrub Bar
a. Wet Your Skin:
Begin by wetting your skin in the shower or bath. The warm water helps open up your pores, preparing your skin for the scrub.
b. Gently Massage the Bar:
Take your DIY Solid Scrub Bar and gently massage it over your damp skin. The mild soap effect ensures a gentle cleanse, while the scrub components work their magic.
c. Focus on Problem Areas:
Pay extra attention to areas prone to dryness or roughness. The scrubbing action helps slough away dead skin cells, promoting a smoother texture.
d. Rinse Thoroughly:
Rinse your skin thoroughly with warm water, ensuring all scrub particles are washed away. The mild soap residue leaves your skin feeling fresh and cleansed.
e. Pat Dry:
Gently pat your skin dry with a towel. Avoid rubbing to let the nourishing oils and butters from the scrub bar absorb into your skin.
f. Apply Hydrating Moisturizer:
Immediately after patting dry, generously apply a nourishing moisturizer. Choose one with ingredients like shea butter or jojoba oil for optimal hydration.
Incorporate the post-scrub moisturizing step to enhance the benefits of your DIY Solid Scrub Bar. This dual-care routine ensures your skin stays pampered, glowing, and irresistibly soft.
