Body Scrub Formulation Guide

To create a body scrub with Goat Milk Powder and Walnut Scrub, you need to combine them within a suitable base. Simply mixing the dry powders is not effective.

Here's a breakdown of the components and how to use them:

Key Ingredients

• Goat Milk Powder (Preservative-Free): Provides skin nourishment. Must be dissolved in the water phase of your formula. Note that this powder is preservative-free, so any formula containing it and water will require a preservative for shelf stability or must be refrigerated and used quickly.
• Walnut Scrub: The exfoliating agent. Available in different particle sizes (e.g., Walnut Scrub, medium (20-40Mesh) or Walnut Scrub, very small (80-100Mesh)). It should be dispersed in the final cream or gel base.
• Cream Base / Thickener: Provides the structure for the scrub. You can use a ready-made base like Absolue Soft Cream Base or create one using an emulsifier like Soft Cream Maker™ and oils.
• Oil (Optional but Recommended): Ingredients like Mineral Oil (Paraffinum Liquidum) Light (26cst) add lubrication, making the scrub smoother and less harsh on the skin.

General Mixing Steps

1. Dissolve the Goat Milk Powder in the water component of your formula.
2. Prepare your cream or gel base according to the instructions for your chosen base ingredients (e.g., heat the oil phase with emulsifier like Soft Cream Maker™, combine with water phase, and mix). If using a ready-made base like Absolue Soft Cream Base, you can typically add ingredients directly.
3. Once the base is formed and cooled (if heating was required), gently mix in the Walnut Scrub powder until evenly dispersed.
4. If not using a ready-made base with preservatives, add your chosen cosmetic preservative at the appropriate stage (usually during the cooling phase or at the end, depending on the preservative).

This approach will result in a creamy or gel-like scrub texture, similar to a spa scrub, allowing you to effectively exfoliate with the walnut scrub while delivering the benefits of dissolved goat milk.
