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

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.
