ladysj Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Has or does anyone use this in their sugar scrubs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann M Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I do on occasion. Sometimes my customers find it a bit too scrubby and it also turns my scrubs from a nice white to a tan color since the sugar is tan. Sometimes I mix 1/3 turbinado to 2/3 white sugar.Ann M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I use both white and turbinado sugar in my scrubs. A combo of both is what my testers reported back to me that they preferred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovelyLathers Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I also use a combo of both. I love the color it gives it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gloworm Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I use a combo also just a 1/2 cup or so of the turbinado in a large batch doesn't change the color. Just gives a tiny tan speck here and there.Glo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopsgirl Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 yep, i do the combo as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsDammit Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I used it straight once, no combo-was almost painful.:undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsy Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I like a combo as well. I do about 2:1 regular sugar to turbinado. I have also used brown sugar and turbinado together. I like that best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecandlespastore Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I do a 5 sugar scrub combo, and I run the turbinado through a blender first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazerina Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 I've only experimented with one as i'm just starting to do B&B.... what I use is mostly turbinado and some brown sugar. I do like it, I don't find it to be TOO scratchy or scrubby, but it is a tad. But I like that. I think a bit more brown sgr. would help in that dept. But- I will say - IMHO.... this kind of scrub would only really be good for fall scents. More specifically - gingerbread (if you can find a body safe FO of it), brown sugar and fig, molasses, etc. Also if you cater to a more 'natural' customer they would really find this brown /unbleached/unprocessed kind of look appealing.

Carrie Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 I use "sanding sugar" also called "crystalized sugar". It is the size of turbinado but not quite as scrubby and it is clear. My scrubs stay white. You can buy it at any bakery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazerina Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Thanks Carrie! That's great information to have. I was looking for something JUST like that because personally I'm NOT into the 'natural' look of the brown, but I do like the crystals. And I didn't want to spend a lot of money. Thanks for sharing!
