A Tropical Treat for Your Skin

Bring a little tropical luxury to your skincare routine with this vibrant Kiwi Sugar Scrub. Combining the exfoliating power of granulated sugar and poppy seeds with the conditioning properties of mango butter, cocoa butter and botanical oils, this formulation offers the perfect balance between exfoliation and moisturisation.

Unlike a simple sugar-and-oil scrub, this recipe incorporates an emulsifier to create a creamier, more sophisticated product that interacts beautifully with water during rinsing.

The refreshing kiwi fragrance and vibrant green colour give the scrub a playful, fruity character, while its rich, buttery base helps leave skin feeling soft, supple and beautifully conditioned.

Ideal for use as a body exfoliator, this formulation is a wonderful introduction to creating emulsified scrubs and understanding how different cosmetic ingredients work together to enhance both performance and sensory experience.
