Avon's Tropical Coconut sea salt foot scrub

[rupertspal42]

Ok so when I went to the showers someone left this behind and it intrigued me alot... here are the ingrediants which i'm a little freaked about because the words are ridiculous..

water/eau, polyethylene, glycerim, peg-40, hydrogenated castor oil, potassium carbomer, parafum/fragance, sand, imidazolidinyl urea, chondrus crispus (carrageenan), methylparaben, prunus armeniaca (apricot) seed powder, glycol disterate, macrocystis pyrifera extract (sea kelp), steareth-4, disodium edta, sea salt/sel marin, cocos nucifera (coconut) extract.

Ok... so with all those amazing words into play... i'm thinking the following:

coconut butter
sea salt
sea kelp
jojoba oil
brown sugar (instead of sand)
perservative

 

[I love soap!]

Yep that would make a nice scrub.


Victoria's full of ideas we better watch out! LOL

I agree!
Come play at my house! LOL

imidazolidinyl urea sounds like ... a disease of lady parts.....

But.. handy Wikipedia says its a preservative......

If I read that & saw sodium hydroxide on a list of ingredients, I probably wouldn't buy it either. You have to think in terms of the bigger picture sometimes. We use lye all the time to make soap, but in it's pure form it's dangerous. Maybe that's the case with this preservative also???

Oh my god!!! no preservatives please!!! they are EVIL!!! I'd much rather have infections and infestations. I like mold, and bacteria are my friends.

Seriously, since we do not live in the world of make your own and use it within 10 minutes, preservatives are necesssary. unless you prefer disease. I don't.

And sodium hydroxide is used in many products to adjust the pH.

anyway, if you are trying to duplicate the formula you posted, you will probably get much closer with an emulsified product. the one I posted a while back has no water in it, though - and I don't have a formula for one with water.

Yeah preservatives are my friend as well lmao Well I ordered some Gamben II (spelling) would that work for a preservative in this? I'm just trying to get close not necessarily duplicate it lol 8)
