1/2 cup baking soda
1/4 cup epsom salt
1/4 cup citric acid
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon allspice
2 teaspoons Coconut Oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon molasses
5 drops Cinnamon Bark oil
5 drops Ginger oil
Whisk dry ingredients in a bowl until combined.
In a separate bowl, combine wet ingredients and mix.
Combine wet and dry ingredients and mix well. Mixture should be relatively dry but still moldable.
If the mixture is too moist the bath bombs will lose their fizziness but if they're too dry they will crumble on you.
Pack mixture into molds, place in refrigerator and allow to dry for at least 24 hours before removing.
Store in a dry place until use.
***Caution: When using warm oils, always be cautious if you have sensitive skin or using with children in the bathtub. They can be great for foot soaks!
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup Fractionated Coconut Oil
3 drops Cinnamon Bark oil
4 drops Ginger oil
2 drops Clove oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon allspice
Mix all ingredients in a bowl until combined.
Store in an airtight container. Glass jars are best. Makes about 1 cup of Sugar scrub.
To use, massage over skin for 30 seconds or until sugar dissolves, then rinse with warm water and pat skin dry. As always, be cautious to skin sensitivity.
1/4 cup oil almond, grape-seed or coconut oil
1/2 cup goat's milk or other soap base
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
2 drops ginger essential oil
2 drops cinnamon essential oil
1/4 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp cinnamon spice
1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Melt soap base over a double boiler or in a microwave-safe bowl; stirring every 30 seconds. Add almond oil and stir until completely melted.
In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, ginger, cinnamon, allspice, and ground cloves.
Once soap is melted, remove from stove and stir in vanilla extract. Allow to cool for one minute then add the ginger and cinnamon essential oil.
Combine soap with sugar mixture. Use your hands to press mixture into your silicone mold of choice. Work quickly to avoid having the sugar harden. Allow sugar scrub cubes to set overnight or speed up the process by placing in the freezer.
Remove from mold and store in airtight container.
It is always best when trying a new sugar scrub, especially with spices and warm essential oils, is to test a small area of skin first. Just to be safe and ensure you’re not sensitive to any of the ingredients.
