Friday Food craft: Neopolitan ice cream scrub

Doesn't that ice cream look delicious? Be careful when you come to take a chomp though, because it's not ice cream at all: it's a scrummy body scrub made to look just like Neopolitan.

The scrub contains fine dendritic Salt to give it its exfoliating effect properties, and essential oils to make it smell delicious. You could make this up in any colour and scent combination, but it's definitely one to hide from the kids!

Recipe by EmmyFNWL on Craftster

Ingredients

6 ounces Shealoe Butter
1 1/2 cups Dendritic Salt
1/2 teaspoon Milk Chocolate Fragrance Oil
1/2 teaspoon Strawberry Fragrance Oil
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Non-Browning Fragrance Oil
1 .15 cc scoop of FDA Red Mica
2 .15 cc scoops of Umber Oxide

Directions

In a large mixing bowl combine the Shealoe Butter and Dendritic Salt. Shealoe is naturally soft, so you should be able to mix this without heating the Butter. However, if it is necessary, you can heat the Butter gently by warming the container in hot water. (Be careful not to let the water get inside the container though.) After the Butter and Salt are fully mixed, split the mixture into three parts in three seperate mixing bowls. Add one Fragrance Oil to each bowl, thouroughly mixing each into the mixture. Next, add two .15 cc scoops of Umber Oxide to the Milk Chocolate scented batch of salt, and mix well to combine. Add 1 .15 cc scoop of FDA Red Mica to the Strawberry scented batch of salt next. Leave the Vanilla scented batch uncolored. Once the batches are fully mixed they can be spooned into jars.

Usage and Packaging

This fine grained salt scrub makes a great body polish, but should not be used on the face or other very delicate areas. The Neoploatin Ice Cream Scrub looks adorable packaged in 2 oz. or 4 oz. PET Jars. Like most handmade skin care products, this Scrub should be used up quickly, as it has not been formulated for long term storage.
