Question
I am looking for a formula for a body scrub that also has cleansing properties. I would like to incorporate scrub powder such as apricot kernel powder.
Could you provide a sample formulation and instructions? The formula should include components like:
- Water
- Mild-Wash L™ (Sodium Lauroamphoacetate)
- Coco-Foam-50™ (Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine)
- Phenoxyethanol SA
- Citric Acid
- SugarThick™ (PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate)
- Scrub Powder (e.g., Apricot Kernel Powder)
Answer
Body Scrub Formula with Cleansing Properties
Based on your request for a body scrub using apricot kernel powder that also provides cleansing, here is a formula and method combining cleansing agents with scrub powder. You can use apricot kernel powder or other suitable scrub powders available.
Formula Components:
- Water: Remaining percentage
- Mild-Wash L™ (Sodium Lauroamphoacetate): 10% (Cleansing agent)
- Coco-Foam-50™ (Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine): 5% (Helps increase foam)
- Phenoxyethanol SA: 1% (Preservative)
- Citric Acid: Adjust pH to 5-6
- SugarThick™ (PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate): 3% (Thickener, adjust amount for desired viscosity)
- Scrub Powder (e.g., Apricot Kernel Powder, Walnut Scrub, Tamarind Seed Scrub): 1% (Choose particle size appropriate for skin type and use)
Instructions:
- Combine Water and Mild-Wash L™. Stir gently until well mixed.
- Add SugarThick™ and stir until the mixture thickens.
- Add Coco-Foam-50™, Phenoxyethanol SA, Citric Acid (adjusting pH), and your chosen Scrub Powder in order.
- Stir gently after adding each ingredient until fully incorporated.
This formula provides both exfoliation from the scrub powder and cleansing action from the detergents, helping to wash away loosened dirt and dead skin cells.
