Hi. My friend asked me to make a scrub bar and I did it. I used a recipe from internet: 128g sugar, 43g coconut oil, 8g shea butter, 32g beeswax, essential oil. I found it melting quick and sugar dissolving fast.
Can I double amount of sugar? To make it longer lasting?
Now, this scrub leaves nice feel on the skin but - is this that wax maybe? I mean am I coating myself in beeswax?
How could I tweak that recipe?

Nothing wrong with coating yourself with beeswax, or CO, if you like how your skin feels. My favorite moisturizing scrub bar is based on this recipe from Emily Leffler on YouTube:
