Pick Your Moisturizing Ingredient

You need a solid butter or wax to turn a sugar scrub into a solid sugar scrub. Some of the best moisturizing ingredients for solid scrub bars include:

Shea Butter: Shea butter is rich in fatty acids and vitamins that nourish the skin and provide deep hydration.

Cocoa Butter: Cocoa butter is also a great moisturizer, and it has a pleasant chocolate-like scent.

Coconut oil: Coconut oil is a popular choice for its excellent moisturizing properties and mild scent.

Beeswax: Beeswax adds a protective barrier to the skin and helps lock in moisture. If you use beeswax, you can incorporate other carrier oils like sweet almond or olive oil and your bar will still stay solid.

Pick Your Exfoliating Ingredient

Choose exfoliating ingredients based on your skin type and the level of exfoliation you desire. Some of the best exfoliating ingredients to use in solid scrub bars include:

Sugar: Sugar granules are gentle and effective exfoliants for most skin types.

Salt: Salt, such as sea salt or Epsom salt, provides a coarser exfoliation and can be invigorating.

Ground coffee: Ground coffee is an excellent choice for a natural, stimulating scrub.

Ground oats: Ground oatmeal is a mild exfoliant suitable for sensitive skin and can help soothe irritation.

Ground rice: Ground rice bran is a gentle exfoliant suitable for sensitive skin types.

We know you might not have the time to make (or even use) three different bath products. So how about a multipurpose power combo of coffee and coconut oil, that fights cellulite and stretch marks. Plus this can double as a face scrub to reduce weird face puffiness.

3. Brown Sugar + Cocoa Scrubee Bars

4. Mocha Coffee + Cocoa Scrub Cubes

10 Solid Scrub Recipes That Exfoliate + Hydrate at the Same Time (5)

You only need four ingredients for this wake-me-up morning scrub: coffee grounds, cocoa butter, white sugar and cocoa powder.

  • ½ cup cocoa butter
  • ¼ cup coffee grounds
  • 2 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • ½ cup white sugar

Melt cocoa butter in a microwave-safe container. In a separate bowl, combine the coffee grounds, cocoa powder, and sugar.

Pour the melted cocoa butter into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Pour the mixture into silicone ice cube molds. Press down to compact the mixture in the molds.

Place the molds in the refrigerator or freezer for a few hours until the scrub cubes solidify. Then pop them out of the molds. Store them in an airtight container or a bag to prevent them from absorbing moisture.

5. Cucumber + Honey Cube Cleanser
