Looks lovely!! How would you make this lather up in the shower so it washes off easily?

Thank you! It doesn’t really lather up. It’s a scrub which exfoliates but leaves your skin feeling smooth thanks to the coconut oil. I hope this helps.

Love it. I got fresh lavender from a plant. Do you ever pestle the lavender to bring out the natural oils?

@FirstDayofHome

2 жыл бұрын

How nice to have a fresh plant, Karen! I’ve never tried a mortar and pestle, but I could certainly see the benefit of using it to release the oils. My only piece of advice is to not use the same tools for cooking if there’s a risk that the plant had pesticides. Have fun!

Nice! I have always wanted to start my own small business and make these. Do you know anything i can use to give the scrub a light purple colour which is skin-friendly and doesn’t leave colour on the skin?

You might look into the rules for selling bath products, especially since this recipe is for home use, it doesn’t have a preservative so it would have to be used and not stored

Do you need to have a mason jar, or is it okay as an alternative to use a glass container with parchment paper on top?

@FirstDayofHome

2 жыл бұрын

You could also use an empty glass food jar if you don’t have a mason jar. Having a lid helps a lot. If you don’t have a lid, it may not last quite as long, but you could definitely try using parchment paper with a rubber band or ribbon for the time being. Hope this helps!

would you recommend adding raw sugar as well?

@FirstDayofHome

3 жыл бұрын

I think it looks the best with white sugar so you can see the flecks of lavender, but you can definitely experiment with brown sugar or any sugar you like. Enjoy!

I noticed that you did not add color to your lavender scrub what would you recommend to add for color?

@FirstDayofHome

Жыл бұрын

Hi there. I didn’t add any, but you could add a food-safe coloring like what is used in baking. A few drops per ounce shouldn’t stain the skin. There’s also this product for bath bombs and such: amzn.to/3rQcdKU

Since the scrub doesn’t contain water, you technically wouldn’t need a preservative. However, you’re welcome to use a preservative if you’re concerned about water entering the jar. I don't have any specific recommendations there. I’ve never had an issue because I scoop out the scrub with dry hands. It’s up to you based on how you plan to use it. I hope this helps!

Honey might get a bit sticky for this type of scrub. I’ve never tried using honey, but I think it’s best with sugar so you can have the gentle exfoliating benefit.

Without a preservative, will this go bad ? If it comes in contact with water?

Hi LuAnn. I haven’t tried it on lips before because it’s more of a scrub than a balm. I would not include the dried lavender buds if you do try it on your lips, though.

@luanncharles9056

@@FirstDayofHome so if I want to use this is an exfoliant I can add a butter like shea, and exclude the buds from the recipe? My thing is, I want to infuse oils from lavender buds, and then use that oil to make the scrub,.. Do u think that will work?

@FirstDayofHome

3 жыл бұрын

You could definitely infuse an oil like jojoba and then combine it with the sugar and coconut oil. Sometimes putting it in the fridge helps it set too. I say go for it! You can always try a small sample first. I have lots of other lavender project ideas on my blog if you need other ways to use it. Let me know how it turns out!

Do people use this on their face as well?

I suppose there’s no reason you can’t except you may not like the texture of the sugar. Also, those with oily skin or acne may find that the coconut oil can clog pores. I’d try a small amount before applying it over a large part of your face.
