Finished Sea Salt Foot Scrub
Every time the seasons change, I find myself having to reschedule when my girlfriends and I get together. Some months are harder to schedule lunches and other events. You know it is crazy when our outings take place at the grocery store! During our last little get together, we decided the event for this month would be pedicures.
Weighing Rice Bran Oil
Today I wanted to make a foot scrub like the one that is used at the spa. It is a beautiful scrub that is a little more coarse than most scrubs I make but it does wonders on the feet. Perfect if you want to wear sandals a few last times before the weather turns for good!

Adding Polysorbate 80, LiquaPar and Lilikoi Fragrance Oil
Weigh all liquid ingredients, including the fragrance oil and preservative into a sturdy mixing container. Stir well. The mixture should turn a little cloudy. This is to be expected and is considered normal. Add the dry ingredients. Stir well. You don’t want any pockets of material. Once the scrub is sufficiently mixed, scoop into jars and cap. Label. Now you can use it for yourself or give it away to friends. Have fun!

Adding Fine Dead Sea Salt
There is no water in this product, so the preservative is optional. Yes?
Cee,
While this product does not contain any water, most people use wet/damp hands to dip into the jar. The preservative is there to protect the product against the water that is introduced. You can make scrubs without a preservative but if you do so, we recommend making a small batch so you can use it up quickly.
I hope this helps!
