Orange Butter Lip Balm

After I made the Orange Peel Sugar Scrub, I started wondering about adding Ground Vanilla Bean Specks to make a orange and vanilla scrub. When I was a little girl, I remember eating orange creamsicles with my mom during the summer. Those orange creamsicles are one of the reasons I love orange and vanilla together!I decided to keep the same formula from the Orange Peel Sugar Scrub and simply add Vanilla Bean Specks at 5%. Whoops! The first test batch had too much, so I reduced the Vanilla Bean Specks to 2.5%. The second test batch still had too much, but I was able to work out that the finished scrub only used 1% of Vanilla Bean Specks!

Recipe: (Makes 4.53 ounces or 100 grams)
Carefully weigh all dry ingredients into a bowl and remove all lumps. I like to pour the dry ingredients into a bag and reuse the container for weighing the liquids. Next weigh the all liquid ingredients (including fragrances and preservatives) into a bowl. Mix the liquid ingredients together. After the liquid mixture is completely mixed, add the dry mixture. This helps prevent dry spots on the bottom of the bowl because you are adding the dry ingredients on top of liquid ingredients. Stir until completely mixed. Once the scrub is completely mixed, it will be smooth and easy to transfer to your desired containers. Scrub Notes: This lightweight scrub feels very nice on the skin. I used this scrub and thought I was able to gently scrub away dirt and dead skin while leaving my skin feeling refreshingly clean and moist. I did notice that I had to use some soap to help rinse off some of the vanilla bean specks that stayed in places like the inside of my elbow. What do you think? Would you try this scrub? |
