Behind the scenes at our handmade soap business: Making and testing our new sugar scrub recipe

Описание: In today's behind the scenes look at our handmade soap, bath and body product business we are showing you one of our new products that we hope to launch for sale in a couple of months.

The product in question is a foaming sugar scrub, which we are really excited about! We have already made and tested the base recipe and it is currently being lab tested to ensure the efficiency of the preservative. While we await the testing results, we are trying to choose which scents we would like to offer this scrub for sale in. We are also testing out some packaging and labeling ideas for the scrub and will show you these too.

Today we are creating the scrub in "Lime, Basil & Mandarin" scent. This is such a gorgeous, light, citrusy fragrance and we think it will work really well in this product. This is our very first time testing this scent in this scrub, so we can't wait to see and smell the results!

As I mention in the video, unfortunately we cannot share the entire recipe (as we often do) because on this occasion, we purchased the foaming bath base recipe from an Etsy seller. Purchasing this recipe gives us permission to use the recipe and sell products made with the recipe but we are not permitted to share the exact recipe with you unfortunately. What we can say is that it is a really lovely recipe to work with, it produces really fantastic results and it is completely palm oil free too. If you do fancy giving the scrub a go, the recipe can be purchased here:
