Last night I started to make sugar scrub cubes but I have been having some trouble.
My recipe (using a scale):
3 oz Olive Oil Glycerin
2 oz Avocado oil
6 oz granulated sugar
2 ml Fragrance
.1 oz Phenonip preservative
I melt the glycerin, add the oil, put in my preservative, colorants, and fragrance, then I quickly add the sugar and put the batter into the mold. It moves SO quickly though when I add the sugar (and I am quite fast myself!), it becomes solid immediately and I have to use my fingers to fill out the mold. The results are often crumbly, especially when I try to cut them. I end up only being able to salvage half of them...
Is it the type of glycerin I am using? On the recipe webpage the batter looks so liquid and easy to work with, but mine gets so thick, so quickly!
Any tips would be appreciated! I really want these to work.
