Question

I am looking to purchase sugar to produce a skin scrub.

  • Could you please provide the specific product name so I can ensure I am selecting the correct one?

Answer

For producing a skin scrub, the recommended "sugar" product is Sugarcane Scrub. This is a natural sugarcane scrub powder that has been sterilized and precision-cut to ensure uniform particle sizes.

There are three sizes available depending on your needs:

  1. Sugarcane Scrub (20-40 Mesh): Large particles. Best for rough skin or body scrubs (e.g., elbows, knees, feet).
  2. Sugarcane Scrub (60-80 Mesh): Medium particles. Suitable for general use on both the face and body.
  3. Sugarcane Scrub (80-100 Mesh): Fine particles. Ideal for delicate skin or facial scrubs to minimize irritation.

Usage Recommendations:

  • Usage Rate: 1-15% depending on how dense you want the scrub particles to be.
  • Mixing Method: Add to your cream or gel base at the final step. Sprinkle it onto the surface and stir until evenly dispersed.
  • Solubility: These particles do not dissolve; they are meant to be dispersed in a thick formula (like a cream, gel, or oil-based scrub).
  • Safety: These products are sterilized, ensuring they are free from bacteria, yeast, and mold, which is a common issue with natural scrub materials.
