Formulator’s notes

A Berry-Inspired Treat for Your Skin

Treat your skin to a little indulgence with this beautifully vibrant Raspberry Sugar Scrub. Combining the exfoliating properties of granulated sugar and jojoba seeds with the richness of mango butter, cocoa butter and conditioning oils, this formulation delivers a delightful balance of exfoliation and moisturisation.

The sugar crystals help remove dead skin cells from the skin’s surface, while jojoba seeds provide an additional exfoliating element, contributing to the scrub’s distinctive texture. Meanwhile, sweet almond oil, castor oil and nourishing butters help leave the skin feeling soft, smooth and comfortably conditioned.

Unlike traditional oil-and-sugar scrubs, this formulation incorporates BTMS 25, an emulsifier that helps the rich oils disperse when they come into contact with water. The result is a creamier, more luxurious rinsing experience with less of the heavy, oily residue often associated with conventional body scrubs.

With its cheerful raspberry-pink colour, fruity fragrance and rich, whipped appearance, this scrub transforms a simple exfoliating routine into an enjoyable sensory experience.

Perfect for exploring the principles of emulsified body care, this formulation demonstrates how carefully selected ingredients can work together to create a product that is both effective and enjoyable to use.
