Instructions

  • Weigh out all of your ingredients. As with any soap-making project, precision matters here — a kitchen scale will be your best friend.
  • Whip the soap base. Using a hand mixer, beat the foaming bath butter until it transforms from a dense blob into something light, fluffy, and almost mousse-like. This is the step that gives the finished scrub its signature airy texture, so don't rush it.
  • Add the fragrance oil. Pour it in and mix again until fully incorporated.
  • Add the mica powder, a little at a time, mixing until the color is even throughout. Stop as soon as you're happy with the shade.
  • Fold in the sugar. Mix until every granule is coated and evenly distributed — the mixture will thicken slightly and take on a beautiful, cloud-like texture.
  • Place into your containers. Transfer the finished scrub to a jar. Add a little swirl on the top, this step is entirely optional, but it does make for a prettier finished product — and there's something deeply satisfying about it.
