Exfoliating Whipped Sugar Scrub Recipe
© Rebecca D. Dillon
Ingredients:
13 oz. white granulated sugar
6 oz. ultra refined high melt point shea butter
.75 oz. refined cocoa butter
.5 oz. jojoba oil
.5 oz. fractionated coconut oil
.5 oz. emulsifying wax
.5 oz. lagoon green jojoba beads
.2 oz. aloe vera oil
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum powder
.2 oz. fragrance oil or .1 oz. essential oil
Instructions:
Using a digital scale weigh out the shea butter, cocoa butter and emulsifying wax. Heat in a double boiler until melted. (Alternately you can also heat in a large glass Pyrex container in the microwave at 50% power.)
Next weigh out the jojoba oil, fractionated coconut oil and aloe vera oil. (Please note that fractionated coconut oil is not the same as regular coconut oil and it is always liquid at room temperature or colder. In addition aloe vera oil is not the same thing as aloe vera gel. It’s actually an oil.)
Add the oils to the double boiler and stir well to combine.
Remove from heat and measure out the xanthan gum powder. Whisk into the melted butter mixture until it dissolves.
Now weigh out your fragrance of choice and stir into the melted body butter mixture.
A great scent choice for essential oils is equal parts lemongrass essential oil and peppermint essential oil with just a “splash” of lime peel essential oil. Or if a fragrance oil is preferred, I really love a limoncello fragrance oil for spring!
Allow the mixture to cool until it begins to get cloudy. (You can speed this process up by placing your melted ingredients in the refrigerator for a short amount of time.)
To make the whipped body butter soufflé recipe:
Then, if you are making the whipped body butter soufflé, pour the melted mixture into your mixing bowl and whip until your body butter reaches the desired consistency. I highly recommend a stand mixer for this step as it can take a while.
Once your whipped body butter soufflé has a creamy, marshmallow fluff like texture it can be spooned into your jars. (You should be able to hold a spoon of the whipped body butter upside down without it dripping off.) This recipe will yield two 8 oz. whipped body souffles.
To use, apply sparingly as a little goes a long way. Once your skin absorbs the body butter souffle, it will not feel greasy or tacky and you will really be able to feel the hydration that it locks in. For this reason I loved this product on my hands and feet – but feel free to use it anywhere you like.
If you are scenting your whipped body butter soufflé with essential oils or lip safe fragrance oils, this feels AMAZING on lips too!
To make the exfoliating whipped sugar scrub recipe:
If you are making the whipped sugar scrub, once your melted oils have cooled, weigh out the jojoba beads and the sugar and combine with the melted body butter mixture in your mixing bowl. Whip until the sugar scrub reaches desired consistency or until it holds onto your whisk or a spoon without dropping off.
Now spoon or pipe your whipped sugar scrub into your containers. My whipped sugar scrub recipe yields approximately four 8 oz. jars.
To use, scoop out desired amount and massage onto wet skin in the bath or shower as desired. Rinse off then pat dry.
Now that you’ve created my whipped body butter soufflé and exfoliating whipped sugar scrub recipes, all that’s left to do is label your jars as desired with your own custom labels from StickerYou! Get started now here.

Hi! I’m just wondering what the zanthan gum is for? And is there a good replacement for it? I haven’t been able to buy less than 4 oz at a time, so it’s too expensive for me! Thanks for the awesome recipes, I can’t wait to try them!!

It’s used as a thickening, emulsifying and stabilizing agent. You could probably sub with arrowroot powder however I’m not sure how it will affect the final consistency. I didn’t use it for these recipes as I feel it sometimes makes my hands feel too dry in some applications. It’s possible to find 2 oz. bags at your local grocer. Kings Mill Flour offers 2 oz. bags that retail for $5.95. Bob’s Red Mill also sells it and can be found in most organic sections, though in an 8 oz. bag for about $10. I’ve also seen Hodgson Mill Xanthan Gum in packets (7 oz.) for around $7.50. Hope this helps.

How long do these last for without a preservative? as i saw that you didn’t even add vitamin e oil, and also can i use stearic acid in place of xanthan gum?

The shelf life is always the same as the ingredient with the shortest shelf life. Vitamin E is not a preservative but rather an antioxidant that can help extend the shelf life of oils. However, as there’s no water added to these, a preservative isn’t required. If you are planning to sell these or plan to start and stop using the sugar scrub once started, you may want then I would err on the side of caution and add a preservative to the sugar scrub as water may be introduced during usage. You would want to use a broad spectrum preservative that inhibits the growth of bacteria, fungus and mold and is suited for this products PH and ingredients as well as one that has ingredients you are comfortable with including. I don’t recommend swapping stearic acid for xanthan gum as xanthan gum is used as a stabilizer and thickener. You can try using cornstarch which is similar. However I can’t guarantee the final product will be exactly the same as I haven’t tried this with substitutions.

What would happen if I use normal coconut oil and remove aloe oil ??

It should work as well although it may be a slightly thicker consistency. Increasing the fractionated coconut oil or even using another carrier oil may be a better bet. Some people have found that a high percentage of coconut in products can actually be drying or cause irritation. Regular coconut oil can also clog pores so I wouldn’t choose it (I’d use fractionated instead) if you are acne prone. Something like jojoba oil, rosehip seed or argan oil would be my substitution choices.

Yes you could use avocado or any other liquid at room temp carrier oil. However, it will change the final properties including the feel of the product if you are using heavier oils.
