Thanks for your input and suggestion for...Hi Maja,<br /><br />Thanks for your input and suggestion for BTMS 50 - I'm using BTMS 25 -- it might be worth a try text time. As for salt and sensitivity - I hear you. It will indeed 'find' small scratches and remind you of their presence. I have used Himalayan salt for years as my main body exfoliated, and find it quite rare that I have any issues. then again, that could be because I have been used to using it for so long.LisaLisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14566391113401195535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2131647485414323768.post-79993268671225067782014-08-21T01:19:05.358+02:002014-08-21T01:19:05.358+02:00Hi Lisa,

The feel actually might vary with the season, but still... <br />I currently use only oils, but with the summer leaving, I'll probably add some shea, along with some PS80, or Alkyl Benzoate C12-15, for less greasy feel.<br />As an exfoliating agent, I've used...hmmm, many things, like ground pumkin seed, ground oatmeal, strawberry seed (all of them for facial scrub) and sugar for body scrub. <br />I'm going to try himalayan salt,as well, as I really like it in soap, although I've been intimidated by using salt for sensitivity issues.<br />I think you can try BTMS50 in place of BTMS25, it should result in thicker consistency and prevent separation.<br />Best regards,<br />MajaDiva Prirodna Kozmetikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01713766013775796957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2131647485414323768.post-2897306713726965872014-08-19T22:37:40.522+02:002014-08-19T22:37:40.522+02:00Hi, Lise!

But I've only make it once, so maybe I try some other oil instead next time.Signehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043590901100312532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2131647485414323768.post-17980766219391908432014-08-17T08:02:21.471+02:002014-08-17T08:02:21.471+02:00Hi Tina - we have the same reasons for liking an e...Hi Tina - we have the same reasons for liking an emulsified scrub. I like the idea of using a polysorbate. Sounds like that might be fun to try.:)LisaLisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14566391113401195535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2131647485414323768.post-45413019011653009022014-08-17T07:59:36.798+02:002014-08-17T07:59:36.798+02:00HI Signe - Interesting!

I have made them both with polysorbate 80 and sucragel and they turned out great. <br />Some of the products from LUSH that I reall like is their scrub bars but I think they are too expensive. I made my own version of their Snap the whip with charcoal and SLSA, and Buffy with ground rice, azuki and oatmeal.<br /><br />I do however, like the dry schrub/face mask mixes a lot! I like that they are versatile and depending on my mood I can mix them with body wash,lotion or oil and just scrub away - and they are so easy to travel with as well :-)Tina Rasmussen, CPHnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2131647485414323768.post-33053709154451317222014-08-15T10:58:34.971+02:002014-08-15T10:58:34.971+02:00I've tried to make emulsified scrub once (this...I've tried to make emulsified scrub once (this summer), because it seemed to be some kind of a trend, but I must say that I didn't like it much. I still prefer that "traditional" oil+salt+soap scrub I've been using longer, and I haven't got any separation problem with it yet.
