How many oz is 1/4 c pumice?
Can you recommend an alternative product that would be readily available at say a whole foods? I forgot to order it darn it and am trying to get mothers day gifts prepared!
Hi Verica!
The 1/4 cup is about 2 ounces. However, because cups are volume and ounces are weight, the amounts won’t be the exact same in ounces. For accuracy, I would recommend using cup measurements for this recipe!

I’m not very familiar with all the ingredients at Whole Foods, so I’m not sure what you could use. Sorry about that! This post has more information on exfoliants you can use, including coffee grounds and salt: https://www.soapqueen.com/bath-and-body-tutorials/tips-and-tricks/all-about-exfoliants/
We also have a super simple scrub you may like! It’s made with olive oil and salt you can get from the grocery store. I’ll link that below. 🙂

Just tried asking a brambleberry rep on chat and got the answer that you sell by weight and nit volume, so I find it curious you would list an ingredient by the latter and not have anyone able to answer my question…so still looking for some help with this one.
Wow, your response came as I typed my reply….THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I’m ordering now!!! 🙂
You’re welcome! Thanks so much for your order. 🙂
Most of our recipes are in weight, especially cold process soap. We find weight is more accurate! However, we wanted to make this recipe accessible for people who may not have a scale at home. That means it’s super easy to make and exfoliates the skin well!

This sounds perfect for those of us who are afraid of customers or myself or my husband slipping in the shower when using oil-based scrubs! I don’t like to scrub the scrub out of the shower when I’m finished. Sign me up for this dry scrub!
So glad you like the scrub Carolyn! It’s a great alternative to oil-based scrubs, which can make that tub slippery for sure. 🙂

gonna have to give this a try my feet could use some pampering 🙂
Have fun giving it a try Stacey! It feels really great after a long day at work. 🙂

I’ve made a small batch but notice that it gets clumpy in the jar. I’m in Houston, Tx and the humidity is crazy right now. I’ve stored it in a small glass jar with a cork top and was very careful when I sanitized the bottle it was completely dry and cool. And I worked in the EO very well Can I add anything else of more of something? I know with the salt and where I live it might be a losing battle. BUT on the upside I now have perfected my bath bomb recipe even in 93% humidity! 😉
Hi Vee!
Unfortunately, extremely high humidity is hard to combat when it comes to dry powders such as baking soda and salt. I’m not sure if adding more of either of these ingredients would help, although you could certainly try! Luckily, even if the scrub clumps from the humidity, it should still work just fine 🙂

Thanks Amanda!!
You’re welcome! 🙂
I’m a bit confused? What’s new? Should I wet this product when I use it?
This is interesting. Maybe add enough water so it is a paste?
Hi Steven!
Yep, you’re correct! You can just grab a handful of scrub, add a little water to make a paste, then apply 🙂
-Amanda with Bramble Berry
LOL. Ok I just read the Home Pedicure PDF and understand now. For a guy that wears work boots all day this sounds great. Easy to make too. I use your Sugar Scrubs recipe all the time as it is on my feet. Might just skip the #8 Polish step though!
#5 Step.
Hi Steven!
I’m so glad you’re going to give this a try! Dry scrubs are my favorite, they are super easy to make and store. Haha, the polish step is definitely optional 😉
-Amanda with Bramble Berry
Hi Nancy!
To use this scrub, I get my feet wet, add a little scrub, and then add a little bit more water if necessary 🙂
-Amanda with Bramble Berry
What is the shelf life for this? Seems like it would be good for a while.
Hi Faith!
You’re right, because this project does not include any water or oils (other than the fragrance oil) this scrub will last a really long time! I would say a couple years 🙂
